What Do I Do NOW !!!

Alright I washed my car today, Clay bar Hood, Roof, Trunk, put on a coat of AIO and then a coat SG from Klasse...the car feels really good and looks great as well.

My question is...
I wanna know what next ??

I have left it like this (One coat of AIO, and SG) last year and the last time I did the car, and It seems to last long and stay OK....

I have a tub of P21S. Should I apply another coat of SG before the P21S or just leave the car how it is now ??

Thank guys.

The pollen is bad by my house so If I do anything Im gonna do it tomorrow..>I dont wanna wash the car again for the next coat of whatever I do, I know I prob will have to wash it

I like the idea of a couple coats of SG before you top with the P21S. You know that once you apply that P21S you won't be able to add the KSG again until you start over. Most people like the KSG topped, so maybe you see how that goes.

mdsmithers took the words out of my mouth.

Add your second coat of KSG and then top with P21S.

Yeah, wash that pollen off before another layer of SG. My directions said to let the SG sit for up to 24 hours before buffing it off. After that it's 'cured' and you can top it with P21S right after you remove the SG.

I thought that's what the phamplet said. IIRC, it was supposed to stay on for a while before buffing....I'll need to find the instructions. Or I'm sure directions are on a website somewhere....

I usually let the SG haze and then remove it.

That's going to depend on the weather, travel plans, garaged, etc. that being said you should get at least 6 weeks. Just slap some more P21S on there when you want. This Fall start the process again. Looking forward to pics.

The wax should last 4-6 weeks. The Klasse, 6 months.

After 4-6 weeks can I add another top coat of P21S or do I need to do it all over again

Providing the finish is still in good shape (it most likely will be) you can just add another layer of P21S. Obviously, wash/dry the car first. I'd put it on at 4 weeks.

What happens if you don't allow the Klasse SG to cure in between coats and just put on another coat right after buffing the other one off?
