3 different products im trying.

Just ordered some Klasse All in One (polish/sealant combined)

http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/produc...roducts_id=414


What im after is either just the one product to use ideally before blackfire wet diamond all finish paint protection/or a wax, whichever im using-already got a few polishes i like however im always after something better-seen a few cars done with klasse that have looked gorgeous so hopefully i wont be dissapointed even if generally i aint keen on products that double up as 2things-they never seem as good as 1 product for 1 purpose items to me-think of it like car audio eg a full range speaker will play the same music as components but components play it better-generally i find the same with car care stuff,usually if youve made something to do 2 jobs a compromise has to be made somewhere,so we`ll see.


Next ordered some pinnacle signature series II carnauba paste wax,

based on the xmt180 i tried a while back expect this to be quite good,actually read a review somewhere that said it looks to me that "Pinnacle have focused too much on shine/not enough on protection" however to me thats my kinda wax (when were the last time i left mine 4 months before doin again)

Already tried their top stuff yrs ago now "pinnacle souveran pastewax" werent overly impressed on my colour but great on black/red.(though at £40 it wants to be)Like to stick around the 20-£25 mark as i dont think you need to spend more than that.


Lastly my engine bay looks a bit mingin an ive got no degreaser,usually i use autoglym engine/machine cleaner which i like however its the same old story-if ya never try anything else ya dont know what ya could be missing so ordered some meguiars super degreaser.

Think ive actually got some tfr aswell somewhere in the garage that i could use however made my order up to the free delivery with other bits ive ordered-so all good-will let ya know what i reckon to what ive ordered as i use it

Hmmmm Klasse all in ones usually abbreviated to (AIO) however im gonna abbreviate it to (PIA)PAIN IN ASS i hate it

My advice (having tried acrylic before(jeffs werkstatt full kit) and throwing half of it away is if it mentions acrylic keep away-were willing to give this ago but yet again ive found it harder work for average results-may last longer but i actually gave up on it after roof and bonnet i`d had enough,oh well ya gotta try these things-i`ll just put it down to experience.


The wax ive tried and looks good though bears a remarkable scent simularity to P21S concours carnauba wax(though colours different) if i find when i do the whole car(as ive only done the roof to try it)that its no better than p21s im gonna be pissed off as this is £5 more................All in all its not goin well

Well gotta be honest tried the pinnacle wax an dont think its as good as the cheaper xmt180 in their range,would possibly go as far as saying its comparable to chemical guys xxx hardcore pastewax which is half the price.


At the weekend im gonna wash the scooby again an go over before getting a few pics but i aint that hopeful.................


I need to be buying some more blackfire/collinite im thinkin ive peaked with a couple of products that at their price cant be beaten.
