Btw, just figured I'd throw this out there when ordering cleaning supplies from Adams. Do yourself a favor and pay a few bucks extra to NOT USE "Fedex Smart Post". It should be renamed to Fedex "SLOWER THAN DEATH POST", I mean FFS man, I ordered on April 30th and it STILL AIN'T HERE, that's going on 10 calendar days.... USPS parcel post super cheapo pony express (get it?) would have been here by now! By the latest update I should get it today... Me looks outside, hey look, more rain!

I've ordered from Adam's twice, don't think either took that much time. Latest order placed May 1st delivered May 8th. I wasn't in a hurry either, though.

 

[Justin]

Yeah I did the FedEx post thing took a lot longer than usual. I have a choose for free shipping on orders over 75 but it isn't as good as the bliss code

 

[askjeffro]

Well my plan is to do the Klasse twins everywhere and maybe top it off with some P21S on the paint only.
I'll try a small part in the back stripping first to look for negative effects, but won't get to it until this weekend at the earliest. (Still have not had time to even take a picture, busy week)

As soon as I know anything, I'll post here.

Zaino is over rated.

that's what most people say that have never used it

Negative sir I used Zaino when I had Corvettes, I'm not saying the product is bad because it's not. There is better stuff out there at a lower cost.
Thanks 8)

care to share what they are?

Zaino is over rated.

care to expand on that statement?

Yes I will,
For the 1/2 the price you can get Black fire wet diamond, 4 starr UPP, THE klasse twins, Wolfgang 3.0 paint sealant and many more. The key to a smooth and glossy paint on your car is in the preperation. ie. clay bar, compounding, final polishing. I detail on the side and have many happy customers.
Thanks

thanks I'm always up for trying new things that's how I stated using zaino. I have a flex and a griots garage DA. Stated using Adams recently decent results still like zaino better.

The Flex rocks,
I have one and I use Megs 105/205 combo for swirl removal withit. I also ues Menzerna products too.

For my '13 owner friends, I got part of the car done with Klasse AIO. No Negative effect on stripes that I perceive. No Sealant yet.

Jeff,
Good news! Keep us posted.

Thanks

Waiting for pics.

 

[askjeffro]

Waiting for pics.

Me too. Given my schedule, I can only work on part of the car at a time.

The Klasse did make the stripes slightly smoother to the touch as you'd suspect, but I perceived no loss of reflection on the stripes. I did a stripe half with and without on one side, no difference visually.

 

[killerwill13]

That's great news. I'm guessing there is a feel difference overall with a product on top of it? When you can post pics this is great info.

Klasse AIO is also a lot less time consuming than Zaino isn't it?

What are you going to top the AIO with ?
Thanks

Somewhat related question:

Do ALL good car detailing products have to be ordered online? I noticed you can't seem to buy stuff like Zaino or Klasse in the regular automotive stores...

Yeah thats the case most of the time. I had to even order my grit guards online, not many stores carry a selection of QUALITY automotive detailing products.

Also on stripe related note, I stopped by my local dealer and they have GHIG on the floor and after speninf sometime looking over it and teaching a sales person a thing or two about the car, I took a good hard look and feel on the stripes and Im a lot more confident about applying products to them. I still feel testing is a good idea though just to make sure a product is ok on it.

I also finally pulled the trigger on a large order of Wolfgang products. Thought I would try the Fuzion estate wax. I saw what it could do with a red and I believe it will make my SBY just ooze with perfection. So I cant wait to try it on the car once I get it here soon.
