Wax Preference & pics

My preference is three coats Klasse AIO and then 2 coats of Klasse Sealant. sometimes top off with a carnuba. Really makes the Carbon Black pop.



What wax do you use and process? Show some pics if you like...

Menzerna is my favorite. I got turned onto it a few years back after I had my 911 paint corrected. Amazing stuff. I'll see if I can get pics.

Here is a shot from my 911 turbo and my 911s.

Wow, that looks great. I've heard good things about Menzerna but I, too, like OP use Klasse. I need to use up my bottle before I try something else.

Nice, need to look into that stuff. Did you use a portal cable or all by hand? What did you use specifically to get swirls out? Thanks!

This is my go to procedure:

Meguiars 105
Menzerna Super Intensive Polish
Menzerna PO85rd

I used to use Menzerna Power Gloss but I found the Meguiars 105 is just better all around.

I had my corrective detailer do it. I usually have him do that when I first get the car then I'll maintain. He spent 32 hours on the black 911S and 24 on the Atlas Grey turbo. Guy is amazing.

That is some serious hours. I can go about 8 over a couple of days and that's it. Might have to give a pro a try to see what happens. Nice dedication and resources...

I wouldn't even try this myself. At the time, he was one of three in the state of Florida that had this training. It is his profession and he travels out to Pebble Beach and other big shows to help detail. Guy is amazing.

Didn't know people still used Klasse. I find all these layering to be completely excessive. Reminds me of the Zaino days...

I'll use all the regular type polishes, such as PO85RD, etc. etc. Nothing different than the rest of you. My polisher is the Flex DA. I use Uber pads. For sealant, I am a hardcore Menzerna Power Lock fan. Haven't found anything slicker, nor do I need to. If I want to ball out, I'll browse through my Swissvax collection and choose between the four waxes of their I have.
