Quick Detail between Long Details...

Well I just got done with my LONG Detail of Clay Bar, Klasse All in One, Klasse SG, then waited 24 hours, then Another coat of SG, then a Top Coat of P21S Carnuba Wax. All in all, it comes out amazing. Makes the car look really deep and wet and just perfect.

My main question is, when the wax starts to wear off a bit and the water seems to not be beeding up any longer, and I DONT have time to do the entire detail again, what would be a good quick detail I can do ? Cant really top coat another P21S. What would good advise on what to do.

Any advise would be great kinda for a Mid-Fall Re-fresher.

With the Klasse Twins and the P21s, water ought to bead for months. Once it stops beading, a new coat of wax would be needed. IMO, you wouldn't have to clay bar again.

I just did the same as you - AIO, 2 layers of SG. If I have time, I'll add another SG layer. If not I'll top with Collinite 845 for the winter.

My understanding is that if you DONT add a top coat of some type of carnuba wax, then there is nothing protecting the SG.

The SG really doesn't need 'protection' It is much more durable than carnauba so you don't need to top the SG. The wax on top of the SG is more for shine.
