Off topic... has anyone noticed that the trunk is impossible to keep clean? WTF man!

Wax your rims too, it'll help them repel brake dust and stay clean longer.... also wax the outside of all your windows as it will help rain glide off the windows like rain-ex does.
Just don't wax your front window, the wax will build up on your wipers and dry em out.

I've been reapplying Klasse SG once a month. Keeps it looking good and I know its being protected. I don't care about looks as much as protection

I wax 2-3 times a month, depending on the product that I wanna try out. Last week, I decided to try Mother's Reflections Advanced Wax on top of Klasse AIO, and am applying another layer this weekend.

If you have a black G35, this sealant is probably one of the best over the counter product that I've seen....defintely gives the "wet" look thats almost as good as Pinnacle Souveran, plus it's more durable, and alot cheaper ( $16.99 < $70.00 )

I just recieved my order of Natty's Blue, which is another one made for dark color cars, so I'm gonna try that on my G35 in a couple of weeks

AIO isn't really a true sealant, but it does leave behind an acrylic layer. Still one of the best products ever. Klasse makes the Sealant glaze to work as a sealant. Natty's blue is friggin phenomenal for the price, right up there with S100. I've never used Souveran but everyone swears by it.

Having said that I have used AIO on my wheels and am now thinking of working up the guts to lay down a layer of Klasse Sealant glaze over the top of them. Maybe then I could kiss brake dust goodbye.

Yeah, Mother's Reflections is more of a sealant than a wax, so that's why I went AIO -> Reflections.

And as far as Souveran goes, nothing can still beat that, but for roughly 70.00 plus low durability, I'm gonna save it only for meets and shows and keep Natty's / Mother's for my monthly usage.

whenever the h20 doesn't bead up sufficiently enough. Usually every 3-4 weeks.

I use:
Meguiars clay (when needed)
3M polishing compound (when needed)
Meguiars NXT wax
