It did stain my rubber trim, but not on my plastic trim. I used back to black on plastic grille and it is BLACK!!!! Maybe that's why it had no effect on it.

Wow looking great! Do you still carnauba wax your 4runner in between paint sealant jobs or you just wait to reapply the paint sealant? What's a DD?

I think it is a waste of paint sealant to apply it every month when it can easily last about 4 months. I think Klasse AIO is great for once a season (reapply everything) polish, but not every month polish. Carnauba wax on the other hand might only last a month in Florida's hot and humid...

Thank you all for replies. I learned a lot!

Seems to me the clay is the best for the job, what I am afraid of if I don't clay prior to applying new coat of wax in between full detail jobs, I will scratch the paint with contaminants during waxing process. This will strip the paint sealant correct? Thanks

Ok, another clay bar question. I used WG 3.0 paint sealant with a coat of carnauba wax on top about a month ago. Today, I decided to put a new coat of carnauba wax on this car. This car is a daily driver and is never garaged. It is always exposed to the road and weather elements. After washing...

I've used WG 3.0 and liked the results. Klasse AIO just seems to be more for the buck type of thing and I've heard good things about it.

Gotcha. I was thinking about using Klasse AIO for a polish, topped with Wolfgang 3.0 paint sealant.

Thanks for your help guys. I was under the impression that 7424 comes with a 6inch backing plate. Can I just buy Lake County pads and be good to go or do I still need to buy backing plate for LC pads?

I am confused about the 7424 pads. Different companies, different pad sizes and some kind of backing plates? What kinds of pads does the company recommend? If I buy different pads, do I need backing plates and if I do, where do I get them? I only see a backing plate for Meguiars 3 inch pads...

yeah, I was going to, but inadvertently hijacked op's thread. My bad unionauto.

Thanks for your help. Is using a polisher to put paint sealant or buff it off with a finishing pad eat away at the clear coat protection like it does with a cutting pad during prep work?

Also to expand on this, is using a polisher bad for the clear coat or paint job? If used correctly with Klasse AIO, will it still eat away at clear coat little by little?

Is the use of polisher really that important? If you have a surface that does not have scratches and all you doing is applying Klasse AIO and WG 3.0 paint sealant do you get better results by polishing the products in or is it the same as doing it by hand? After applying paint sealant and...

Enjoy your car. What's the point of detailing it and up keeping it if you are not going to enjoy it? My car is a daily driver and parked outside all day and night. I take pleasure in maintaining it, but at the same time I realize that it is not going to last forever. You can't beat mother...
