Carnauba before Klasse?

Danforz · 11-27-2006, 12:28 AM

Hey guys, I use KIT Wash and Wax, which adds a bit of carnauba with the wash. Do you think this will cause a problem when adding Klasse AIO and GS? If so what wash do you recomend?

AIO is a chemical cleaner, it will absolutely strip any wax on the surface of the paint - so while this might not be the best process, it certainly will not impede the bonding of AIO or HGSG in any way.

Yup, AIO after pretty much anything will just strip it. It's a cleaner/prep stage and should be used before you wax. Just like any type of sealer should be used before carnauba. Typically, most sealers/synthetic waxes do not bond well over carnauba. Sealers usually bond with the paint whereas carnauba just "sticks" to the top.

+1 carnauba wax after the AIO and SG. I use P21S carnauba wax.
