New, yet expensive wax!

[RedGrandAm2003]

I wonder when the last time I posted was? April? Who knows, been too busy for computer stuff, and dealing with sleep apnea makes me stress out way too easily.

ANYWAY.
I just got some new wax called "Klasse" It's a real pain to deal with the sealant part of this Klasse thing, its like water! horrible, but extremely "Klasse-E" lol... I should add a poll to see how many people think thats lame, but anyway, on with the show! Only got 2 pictures since I was semilazy/tired to move the car around to take other pictures, my bad.
:D

Played with camera settings and managed to come up with this, looks weird, but kinda cool(had to use tripod cuz it looked funky by just holding the camera):

Holy hell. I love your car. I like the first picture better, but they're both hot. I've got a soft spot for red...*thinks back to my SE*

[RedGrandAm2003]

Thanks shawn.

I know eh? I've been "diagnosed" with Sleep Apnea... its bloody killing me though, I'm going nuts lol... Always tired & with a headache = not fun :(

Oh well, can't complain, There's people out there that are dying of cancer and such, I've just got a slow death coming to me, isnt that gonna be fun? LOL! Heart Failure I think? I forget :lol:

edit:

Forgot to mention that this isn't the end of it. I've just gotta let this coat of sealant cure, then i'm throwin on some Carnauba tomorrow. Horrah! I'll update the pictures tomorrow sometime. Gotta make it look good for the GAOTW, its been 2 years since its been gaotw. :lol:

Ive never been a fan. Hard to apply and remove and the look is steril imo. The trick is to apply it soooooooooo thin you cant see it on the paint. Which is a PITA becuase you have to apply it 2-4 times just to make sure you got it on the paint.

Klasse is a sealant not a wax. Its actually an old school acrylic sealant thats been around since the begining of polymer paint sealants (early 80's). It has been surpassed by quite a few companys in ease of application, ease of removal, longevity, slickness and looks.

Expensive wax? Yeah, thats not expensive at all, this is expensive:

petes 53- $60 USD

CG 50/50- $60 USD

Pinnacle Souveran- $79.99 USD

Zymol Jaguar Glaze Wax- $92.00 USD

Zymol Glasur Glaze- $95 USD

Zymol Vintage- $1852 USD

Zymol Destiny Estate Glaze- $486 USD

Zymol Royale Glaze wax- $9500 USD

O.o Easy buddy.

30 bucks for 33oz's of this stuff to me is expensive. Besides, i said its a wax because its easier for dumb newbs who don't know jack, of course its a sealant, you know it, I know it, who cares, why bring it up? Anyway.

Updated pictures, added some carnauba today.

Easy? what do you mean?

You should call it what it is so that newbs understand the difference, which is a big one, you wouldnt call a hot tub a swimming pool would you? Same difference

Educating the *newbs* on how to care for their expensive automobile properly and understand the products they are using IS important even though you think leading them astray is better is wrong on your part.

Always explain what you used, what exactly it is, what it does and how it helps people is the proper thing to do.

Did you prep your paint first before using SG?

So with that set of comments, I assume that I will never again see a complaint from you when newbies ask a specific question that may have been asked countless times before ;) ... and of course, there will never be another reference to "use the search button", right? ... HAHAHAHAHA ... just giving you shit Rand ... you know that I sit up nights thinking of ways to give you a hard time, eh :roflmfao: ... anyway, on topic, HI MIKE!! :)

I like my black mirrors. lol I priced them to get painted, was way too much for me for just painted mirrors. If I turn it into a GT then I'd take the mirrors off and give em a shot of paint.

You an him both might know everything about the wax, but thats not to say others do. its always good to have something explain when someone is talking about a product, not just hey i used product x its great.

If there's a question, then ask, I'll be more than happy to answer it, even if its a dumb question thats asked a million times, even though the Search option is always available.[Search] (http://www.gaownersclub.com/forum/search.php?s=) I was new here at one point too. Its a forum, thats what its for. To the average person who wants to wax his/her ride will end up using Mothers[Mothers] (http://www.mothers.com) or Meguiars[Meguiars] (http://www.meguiars.com) all in one stuff, and thats the end of it. I use to be like that, I asked couple questions, googled some stuff and now I know the difference between the two types of protectants[Carnauba wax and Synthetic] (http://www.autogeek.net/qude101.html), extra tips, such as there's no limit on how many coats of sealant[Intro to paint sealants] (http://www.clean-image.co.uk/paintsealant/index.htm) you add, since there's no yellowing which can sometimes be the case with a carnauba[wiki] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnauba_wax) wax, the better it looks and longer it lasts, and if you top the sealant[Intro to paint sealants] (http://www.clean-image.co.uk/paintsealant/index.htm) with carnauba[wiki...again] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnauba_wax) it'll give a longer lasting water beading[wiki] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_wash)



Now you see a post like that takes 25 minutes to find information that is pointless to the 99.9% of the people on here who will probably not even click the links, and with someone who has 56K[56K Modem] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/56k), what a waste of bloody time.

Thank you for allowing me to present to you my pleasant demonstration on how time is easily wasted for absolutely no point. Got any questions? Better f'in not cuz i just answered everything.
