I apply the S100 by hand, it's just easier with a paste IMO.

hehe yeah I'm a huge Jamiroquai fan. They're still huge elsewhere in the world, they just never had a following here.

They've got a new CD coming out in June, this'll be album #6!

I am absolutely NOT into applying wax by hand (that's why I'm spending $100+ on a machine.) I waxed a car by hand once, and will never do it again. WAY too much work. do you recommend anything else that I could use my nifty new tool to apply?

and what do you recommend to clean the dead bugs from the front of my car?

The Klasse All In One does, but only on very slight ones. Anything more deep requires some 3M stuff I bought from www.properautocare.com

Looks awesome. I'm going to give Klasse AIO, SG, and S100 a try also. The PC 7424 is the way to go, well worth the money. Keep up the good work!

dangit!!! klasse AIO + H2O = PITA

I didn't properly dry my ride before I started waxing it with klasse all-in-one. where it mixed with water is a pain in the ___ to get off. I think I need to rewash those areas.

i have a bottle of klasse sitting right here..
but not to burst your bubble, zaino is the winner.
u can wax your car for 24hours with other ____.
but zaino is the best.

after zaino, i won't use anything else..
the best optical clarity u can get..

Not completely sure on this, maybe others can back me up...but i wouldn't wash your car with dawn. Dawn is pretty harsh stuff that is made to get stuck on crap off plates. I've heard from several people that it's bad for the paint...otherwise, she sure is shiny

haha what authority is this? My information comes from www.autopia.com where a good number of them are professional detailers for a living. If there was one "best" wax, there would be no others around anymore.

I only do that before I wax the car to remove all the old wax. It's not hard on your paint, it's hard on the old wax.

On the wax "authority"... so we shouldn't believe what people post on the internet, but we SHOULD believe what the "wax authority" prints........... ON THE INTERNET??????? heh heh, sorry, had to pick on it a bit. But your ride looks great!

On the Acetone, it is a good cleaner, and he could possibly do a lot of cabinet work?? Or maybe a little cooking heh heh
