I never tried Klasse products. Is their sealant synthetic?
There was some debate on the FMJ over at autogeek some time ago but I won't get into it here.

Anywho Klasse is popular synthetic sealant used by many German auto dealers in Europe. I've used both All in One and Sealant but always looking to try out others.

Don't forget to start with clay bar (with some Meguiar's Final Inspection or Mother's Show Time mist) after washing and drying. I skipped that step on the Porsche because it's hardly ever driven (and never driven in rain), but I always do that on my other cars. Clay bar really removes all the stuck on dirt.

Also, do to your windshield what you do to your paint. You'll be amazed at how well your wipers work afterward.
