Clean Car!

I use Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze this weekend and it does a pretty good job. To have some slight hazing and build up on the hood that I could only see in the sun so I will have to get a cloth on that but otherwise it sure is reflective.

We will see how well it holds in comparison to P21s. Being synthetic, the Klasse should last longer.

Britt,

I must tell you that your car is one of the nicest Porsches I have ever seen. Anytime I want to show a friend what a Porsche should look like I send them a link to your photo page. Congratulations!

I send mine once a week to my old partner at the hand wash I used to own. Can get expensive if you don't have an "in" though.

Top off the Klasse with a coat of P21S and you will have a much deeper shine and depth of color. Your car looks great.

That is one clean car. Look great Brit!

I heard that about the High Gloss Sealant Glaze (the hazing) They say it can be a bit tempermental at times. I use the Klasse All In One with a carnuba wax on top of it. Best of both worlds IMO. The carnuba is good for depth, especialy on darker cars.

Is it just the camera or screen, or is that a very rare grey/silver? Seems darker than the usual arctic silver.

Looks absolutely stunning!
The car is so clean ... it makes the reflection of the road look dirty! LOL

That's because it is not Arctic Silver. It's Seal Gray!

It is Seal Grey in kinda strange light at dusk. I will take another today in full sun for the comparison. I also do alot of Photoshop tweeking to make the photos look their best and enhance the reflections and highlights. I will post to original for comparison.

Max,

For the meet I am planning on starting with Klasse All-In-One, adding a few coats of the Klasse Glaze, and finishing off with a few coats of P21S. It should be an amazing finish. Let's just hope it still looks good by the time I get down to Orlando.

Britt

Rob,

You may want to take a look at www.autopia.org . They are as fanatical about clean cars as we are about our Porsches. As far as stripping old wax, they would say to use Dawn (original). That will leave your paint bear. From there... clay, polish, wax...
