Is Klasse a good sealer? If not, what are better alternatives?

Basically what the title says, any better sealers? I haven't purchased it yet but I'm curious if this stuff is any good.

Thanks

Klasse sealant is a good product, though it can be finicky to apply, a little goes a long way.....I believe Detailed Image has an easy application technique for Klasse sealant that super easy especially if you haven't had a chance to apply it before......better meh, I have others I like doesn't mean they are better I like to use Klasse on trim, taillights, and glass. My go to is BFWD but not because its any better or worse its more the ease of application.....

yes.

the all in one & the regular are good. apply in tad bits on the pad, keep applying til the whole car is covered.

then start to rub/buff it off. your going to need more then 1 mirco to get it all off.

I've used klasse sealant for awhile, it works well, but is pretty annoying to apply.

I just switched to Menzerna Power Lock Polymer Sealant and like it so much better. Much easier to apple and gave a better shine and slicker finish than the klasse.

I would definitely recommend the Menzerna over the klasse

I really love sonax polymer netshield. I've had it on the car since the beginning of March and it's still beading and sheeting like day 1. I haven't applied anymore since the first application and my car is parked outside 24/7 so I'd say it's pretty durable.

I would also recommend Menzerna Power Lock Sealant as well. Another great sealant is Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0

I'm a huge Klasse fan, but I stopped using it because it's a bit of a pain. I'm now using Optimum Opti-seal. It probably doesn't last as long but application is a breeze.

There are many great sealants on the market today, and while Klasse had been around for quite a while, I think it is safe to say that it isn't one of the more popular choices these days.

My personal favorites are Blackfire Wet Diamond and Menzerna Power Lock. Each of these are extremely easy to use... simply spread a thin layer onto the entire vehicle (by hand or machine), allow to set as recommended in the instructions, then easily wipe away with a plush microfiber towel. These particular products will last you 4-6 months in most instances, and can be layered, or topped with a wax of your choice if you'd like.

I apply these products by machine with a soft blue fine finishing pad, and it is incredibly quick and easy. It takes no more than 20 minutes to apply and remove the product from an entire vehicle.

Let me know if you've got any other questions.

As far as easy to use, good sealants I'm a fan of the following:

Opti-seal
Car-Pro Hydr02
Blackfire Wet Diamond
Sonax Net Shield

I recently started using Opti-seal on customer cars and am very impressed with it

Ive used Klasse SG for years and while it was good back then, I think its a bit out dated.
It is really good if you layer it, which can take hours/days as you need to wait for the previous layer to cure.

Car does look good when you start with AIO and follow with SG. Gives it that deep glossy look, and car feels super slick.

Same here.

Though I don't use either on the paint anymore, oddly enough, AIO has replaced Rain-X for me. Besides repelling rain, it cleans better than anything else and no streaks!
