[QUOTE=dohc97;6846279]I just cut about a 1/2" of rubber out of the middle and everything went together perfect.

Took mine out for a drive. Was only going to go into Anderson Valley on CA 128 (the major route from the SF Bay Area to Mendocino) for about 45 minutes, turn around and come home. Kept pushing "Just a little farther". Coast was beautiful, cloudless and calm. Picnic on an ocean bluff above Manchester. Continued to Jenner (60-80 miles on CA 1-world class scenery). Finally turned inland. 60 mile trip turned into 230 mile trip. Gas mileage improved too.

I changed out my map lights (that I had gotten about a year and a half ago from HID Guy) to ones I just got from Diode Dynamics. The LED bulbs were much beefier (in a good way) than the ones I got from HID Guy and seem to work better overall (I had some flickering issues with the old ones).
I also added the running pony inserts to the door locks from Diode Dynamics as well... They match the ones I got in my cup holder a few months back...

I swapped out my map lights, license plate and trunk lights with LED from Diode Dynamics. It was a great buy and I actually received some compliments from a fellow mustang owner that agreed they were much brighter than stock yellow.

Washed,
Applied Klasse AIO
Applied Klasse Sealant from top to bottom.
Total time 6 hours. Next coat of sealant will just be the roof, hood, trunk, and top half of the sides, should only take an hour or two, the first time is always the most time consuming. Those areas usually get the most UV damage.
Installed Laminex for the head/fog lights.
Bout it.
Upcoming: Replacing the trunk lid liner, and a few other small things. I'm almost done with the mods for a long while. I'm waiting to see if I'll need All Season tires, but I'm leaning towards not needing them for the winter.

Just installed an MGW Shifter and GT500 Axle Backs on my new 2014 GT. Had the GT500 setup on my 2012 and they didn't disappoint. The new shifter takes some getting use to. Much more solid, but also much more mechanical in feel. And definitely a small increase in noise and vibration.

I am hoping once I get two more coats on there that it will last a solid 3-4 months. All the reviews say 6 months to a year for one coat, but my car sits uncovered all year long so I know I won't get that kind of longevity out of it.
For a quick detail some of the detailers use a mix of the sealant and a bottle of megs basic QD as well which I plan to keep handy. It also gave me the opportunity to find a scratch in the paint on the passenger side where the rear quarter panel meets the trunk. The scratch is actually in the gap between the panels. Probably happened at the factory. So I've ordered a chip repair kit to get that taken care of so it doesn't get worse.

I used Klaase many years ago...about 2006 or so. It was a great product for its time. But just like technology and everything else, products greatly improve over time. There are literally dozens of products that produce as good if not far superior shine and look and protection with 100 times easier application and removal, that it's not even funny. I have not used my bottle of Klaase since those years, and it remains far far back in my detailing shelf. I need to throw it away sometime.

Your statement is so full of exaggeration it's not even worth the time to argue the point. Use whatever your happy with. I chose Klasse for a very specific reason. Longevity. Wolfgang's does not last as long (also an excellent product). And if you apply it RIGHT, it's no harder to remove than any other product I have encountered that actually lasts longer than a few weeks in the south's sun during the summer months. To me, it is worth the extra hour or two applying it for the extra month or two of protection I will get out of it. Believe it or not, I'm saving time by using Klasse and adding coats (just like Zaino, also excellent) will only improve the shine and the longevity. Which was my sole reason for choosing it.
Many people will use a combination of the Klasse AIO and the Wolfgang 3.0 Sealant over it as well, with excellent results. Before anything is done though, a good Clay bar treatment might be necessary for the best results.
