My new 328i is about to arrive on the boat (I already have 1000 miles from my ED). I've read a couple of hundred posts about what clay, wax, polish, brand, etc.

I'm thinking Klasse AIO, followed by SG.
OR
Zaino AIO, with Z5

I've narrowed to those two, but I seem so be reading a lot of comments about the difficulty in removing SG.

Does one brand stand out above the other? Are the stories about SG true? Will it be easier to use the Zaino?

The car is Space Gray and I'm a rank amateur at detailing. But, I've got the time and the will.

Thanks.

Before people get crazy with the minutia on the differences between how Z5 and SG look, I will break it down easy for you.

The products you are debating have similar durability and similar (enough) looks. Klasse SG may be a bit more wet whereas Z5 may be a bit deeper, but it's academic at best. Zaino *will* be easier to use. Even when applied thin SG can be a little tough to remove. When applied thin Zaino practically blows off the car.

Picus,

Thanks for a simple, clear response. You made the decision for me!!!!

I have heard great things about Klasse AIO, so if you still wanted to go with that for your polish, you can use this instead of the SG:

I've heard it's much easier to use than SG, not sure how it compares to Zaino though.

Lol, a little? I know I must have been doing something wrong because after applying the Klasse SG, I could barely get it off. It was a PITA! It looked pretty good afterwards but I wasn't impressed enough to use it again...

Well, 'a little' is relative. If you apply it super thin and knock down the high spots it comes off a bit easier. But ya, it is definitely more work than Zaino.

DarkRyan brings up a good point. Werkstatt Prime and AJT are similar to AIO/SG but much easier to use.
