Show N’ Shine Contest (August)

[Meghan]

We're looking for some incredible photos that showcase your best work. It could earn you a $100 gift certificate to Autogeek.net for a monthly winner, or a $1000 check at year's end if your work is deemed the very best. Show us your detailing skills and we'll show you the money!

Each month, we'll pick a product line. Participants will detail a vehicle using a product from that line as the last step product (ie., wax or sealant). The Autogeek staff will pick the photo that shows the most impressive shine. The winner will get a $100 gift certificate at the end of the month and be entered to win a $1000 check from Max at the end of this year.

This month, the brand is Klasse. If you haven't used Klasse, now is a great time to try it because all Klasse products are on sale.

Klasse Car Care Products

Submit your pictures by posting them on this thread. We will announce a winner at the end of this month. Good luck and happy detailing!

Please do not reply or comment on this thread, just post pics if you are entering this contest. Any other post besides photos being entered in the contest will be deleted. Thank you

Just Tried it out on the ES today. Great depth and shine....it really made the flakes pop.

 

[OCDetails]

I'm having to dig deep here for these pictures since Klasse is kind of a seasonal product for me. I am the Klasse king though. At one point I had applied easily 30 coats on my car. I was putting it on every single day because I was practicing a process and really in love with the results. I still suggest that people stop at 5 coats since that seems to be the pinnacle of appearance, but nothing is stopping you from going further than that.

This one isn't my picture, but it does have Klasse SG on it.

Poor lighting, but good example of the polished rock look of Klasse.

Here is a loaner I detailed with SG.

Here is some of my multi multi layer pictures on my Integra. I loved the way it looked on white. Very very polished rock-esque.

 

[OCDetails]

Oh, and I've had more than a little bit of Klasse in my garage before.

 

[Tonya]

I finally got it done and it's really showing some shine. See for yourself that Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze is great!

Just look at that shine, you should pick me!

Now just look at that reflection shot!

Look how well it relects the light! Those flakes are popin!

And finally even my toes are topped with Klasse! hee hee hee It really makes that pink pop!

Oh yeah, I should mention this was all done by hand!

 

[muddy]

I LOVE how Klasse makes my dents pop! It's great at making them REALLY visible

AIO + 3 coats SG:

No, the paint can, Goo-Gone, and Oil-Eater driveway cleaner in the reflection do NOT get used on the Xterra :

What a perfect timing! :cheers:
I happened to do a 67? Chevelle Malibu SS today, and tomorrow from the same customer, I'm doing an original 69 Nova SS
I will have pictures of both tomorrow evening Im the MAN
I only have the KAIO but not the Sealant Glaze, would it still count?
I used the KAIO as my LSP

 

[OCDetails]

You used AIO as an LSP? AIO is more of a prep product than an LSP. It's a paint cleaner that doesn't do a whole lot for the appearance other than bring out the natural paint shine. SG is the real appearance enhancer. It's probably a topic for another thread, but I'd be interested to know why you didn't use a wax or sealant on top of AIO when you were done.

Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze picked up from a friend. These are shots from last year.

 

[RJones]

One of my details a little while back. Clayed, polished the car by hand. Used AIO and then waxed it. Spent 1 1/2 days on it. My new UDM will make it much easier.

Enjoy

I have done two cars from the same owner in two days using KAIO. The first one was a Chevelle 67? and the other one was his 66 Nova SS (stock 327 V-8) is all stock with the exception of the hubcaps, the aftermarket air filter, and the dual exhaust. The original parts are still kept in the house
This is going to be a quick review, just trying to beat the deadline for the contest, as I've been real busy
On both cars I used Duragloss Car Wash, Clay Magic Clay Bar, Menzerna 3.02, and topped both with KAIO. It was nice to have used the KAIO as I was pressed for time to get these two cars done in two days and on a short notice
The engine compartment was done with Adama APC, and finished up with Adams In & Out spray
The interior, and tires with Klasse rubber, vinyl, and leather
303 was used on the vinyl to for the Chevelle
Rims Juice on the wheels
Here we go:
Nova 66 Super Sport:
The paint was in pretty good shape, it has been touched up once:

Notice the rain drops, as it was about to rain before the owner was pulling it into his trailer when he came to pick it up
