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.
I'll give you that... that I may have exaggerated on the "100 times easier" part. Is it truly 100 times? Not sure. Feels like it. Lol.

But yes, this is the internet, so for all you know, I could be some 10 year old kid that just utters nonsense, right? I don't need to state my credentials in the detailing world for you. But you are definitely correct. You can use whatever you want, whenever you want, however you want. Your prerogative.

I was just giving my opinion. That's my prerogative too. And I'll state it again.

Klaase was great when I used it in 2006. Today? I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole. I have literally 10 or more products sitting on my shelf that I use for my car/s and my customer's cars that surpass Klaase in every category (that being application, removal, look, and durability). So yes, if you were close by, I'd give you my 2 jugs of Klaase for free.

AND,....it's pretty evident in the photos of your gorgeous car. I think your detailing skills are pretty darn good actually.

Thanks Tony. But, who knows, photos could be doctored. My car is actually a swirled mess. And my customers demand a refund when I detail their cars!!!

But seriously though, he's right. He's entitled to use whatever he wants, for whatever reason he wants. His choice. I was just letting others know, that, if they are looking for something that applies and removes easier (with very limited elbow grease), looks as good if not far better, and lasts as long if not longer, there are many many many many options. And that, is the sole reason why I no longer use it.

That's like saying, I use my flip phone because I love the way it works. That's great. You can do that. But don't discount the fact that smart phones out perform it. Many tests have been done in the detailing world. Just visit the other forums. An informed user/buyer/customer is the most powerful person. He/she then has the power of CHOICE for the best solution/product for him/her.

Z, what do you use? It seems like Wolfgang is one of the top ones, according to the guys on Autogeek. If there's something that's more durable though, I'd switch to it.

Speaking of durability.... Guys, don't use Pinnacle Souverän on a daily driver. The first hard rain you drive in will strip it from where the wheel spray hits. It's unfortunate, but God, does it look good.

I need to figure something else out and just keep the Pinnacle for the two foxes.

Completely agree. Same trolls criticizing everyone else's decisions.

For sealants, I use blackfire and 4star. For nubas I use dodo and CG stuff. I detail often, so durability is not as important to me.

A lil Mustang Tri Color Trunk Trinket.



It's actually a nice little piece of fitted carpet.

I'll probably pickup an option like that - the trunck NEVER holds anything but when I open it up, I wanna see a tri-bar.... looking at the 5.0 mats to replace stock, will probably buy soon... stock hasn't worn out, I want something nicer...

May I suggest Weathertech digital fit? No Mustang logos, but a fantastic mat.

Looks really great. I got the GT logo trunk carpet to match the floor mats from AM as well, but the TriBar adds a little color which my black/black sure can use.

Congrats Fink. I would have done the same thing. That is......just keep foot in clutch, 1st gear, ease off clutch, then floor. I would never side step or drop clutch. My times would not be as good, but hey, I'll have a car that drives home

Fresh oil/filter, rotated the tires, checked out the wear on the brakes. Patiently waiting for my goodies to arrive.

Installed the Boss 302 quad exhaust (side pipes) this evening- without the restriction plates... Oh well, I got to enjoy my Shaker 500 system for 11,000 miles !

Speedhut shipped my customized gauges today- so the Laguna Seca pod will be going in this weekend!

Installed a Boss 302 strut tower brace to compliment my new engine cover. Some before and after.
