Does KAIO actually clean the paint? Differently than Clay?
Feed back please. :buffing:

-Clays are products/tools that are formulated to have varying abrasives/various abrasiveness-levels.
These clays "clean" by removing above surface bonded contaminates through abrasive-action.

-KAIO is said to be a non-abrasive chemical cleaner.
If this is indeed true:
Its abrasiveness-level would probably be determined by the choice of applicator pads; downward force, arm speed, etc.

"KAIO cleaning", in my layman-speak, would appear to be accomplished by the resulting process between that of the
capillary-action of this low-viscosity-liquid-product's chemicals [hydrocarbon solvents (?)], and the top-coat paint-film.
That...And along with the removal of the spent KAIO/contaminates admixture.

NOTE:
If KAIO is deemed to be other than a "chemical cleaner" (that is: having 'abrasives' of some sort):
Then, for me, it's back to the: "Chemical-levelers vs. Abrasive-levelers" squabble.

:iagree: That pretty much sums it up, KAIO is a chemical cleaner with no abrasives, so it will not remove contaminants like a clay bar would and vice versa. A clay bar will not remove the discoloration and haze that KAIO will.
 
I have a bottle of KAIO

In my personal experience the "cleaning" ability it nothing to write home about.

It seems like a Jack of all trades....... that does nothing extremely well.

Do I like it? Yes.

Stand alone product? IMO. No.
 
Try Auto Finesse Tripple might be better suited what your looking for. Here are some pics of what it can do by hand and it can be applied by DA.

 
Klasse A-I-O is a great product if you use it correctly. There is a time and place for it.

:iagree:

I look at it as something I'll do to prep the surface for a coat of Klasse SG. It seems to wipe out any polishing oils and/or old LSP coatings and preps the surface for a new LSP coat.

When your done polishing do u use a machine to apply this or by hand. I use a machine but by then I have machined so much I am tired. LOL
 
Machine with white or green pads for KAIO
Hand application with a micro fiber sponge for KGS
