    Oh man, I hate it when people don't clean the crap out of there car, I hate touching it.

    It looks great, I would have probably buffed the tires a little, that dressing was quite shiny.

    I'm sure she was really happy with how it looked! Excellent results for 6 hours!

    Thank you. Yeah they can be kind of gross sometimes. She wanted them super shiny. I don't usually do them like that. I don't care for super shiny tires.

    Looks great and you gave the customer exactly what she asked for it seems. One question, isn't a second coat of Klasse AIO redundant since it cleans any protection that was left by the first application? I'm not saying it is, I'm just asking. Wither way, great job!

    I am not sure. Is it? I always have put a second coat to make sure it's all covered / sealed etc. Before I apply the wax. I would like to know if it is. That would save me some time :) Does anyone know?

    Very nice :) Wheeels are shinnnyyy! You do what they want right.

    I don't think klasse will remove itself if you apply it on top. I never heard of putting a second coat tho. Instead, trying putting 1 coat of AIO and then top it off with another wax :) Always had great results doing this.
