Cleaning and polishing with Klasse
Cleaning and polishing with Klasse
I have had a long history of using Klasse car care products. I first found them when I was in San Jose, CA back in 1984. Back then, their quart-size Sealant Glaze was $20... pretty high for those days. A parts store clerk told me they were extremely good products. So, I figured I would give them a chance. GLAD I DID!!!
Now, to today and the Avion. I had held off buying more Klasse simply because it IS rather expensive. But considering all of the time and effort I have spent trying to find a good cleaner and polish for our Avion, I knew it would be money well spent. Worse case: I would use it on our automobiles.
Today I got outside and tried the All-in-One on a small section. As expected, it looks great when finished. I followed that with a coat of the Sealant Glaze.... even better! Now...... just have to get 34’ of trailer done! (That reminds me... I need to get some new pads for my Porter Cable random orbital polisher.... I would love to try that on the Avion!)
I knew the Klasse would look good on the Avion. Now the test will be longevity.
(I will fix the picture orientation later)

Re: Cleaning and polishing with Klasse
What is the consistency of the glaze you have? I have some and it’s a milk like consistency. I’m wondering if I got a bad batch.

It’s supposed to look milky. The key to the Sealant Glaze is: use it sparingly.
When I had first found this Klasse stuff, the Sealant Glaze was a clear liquid and had a distinct petroleum smell. Sometime in the late 80’s it was changed to its current form. They also had an awesome vinyl/leather protectant that smelled awesome and didn’t fog your windows like Armor-All. Not sure if they still have that or not...

Managed to get the front end cap done this evening before I ran out of light. Just the street-side left to do now!

Thank you.
From my previous experience, I’m expecting between 6 months and one year.

Re: Cleaning and polishing with Klasse
How much Klasse did it take to make her look like that?
