I can get this for $70 CDN + shipping:
1 bottle of all in one
1 bottle of high gloss sealant
both are 16oz

Good deal or not?

Default Its good as part of a system

Klasse is good but its not a miracle product..
Does it make your surface super reflective / slick?

Nope...

What it does do however is protect and it serves as a good base layer for a carnauba which will provide the slickness.

Its also great at removing oxidation!

Oh PS make sure to buy it from Autogeek..just contact them and ask them to ship USPS...because you get a free 6oz bottle of the new pinnacle Cycle glaz paste wax ($25 value)

Default Good, but not my favorite

I like the protection it offers, but I agree that it's not as slick as some other paint cleaner/wax combos. I found SG very difficult to apply on a silver car, but two to three times a year as a sealant makes it OK. I think AIO is a good purchase just for its oxidation removal (I have seen some amazing transformations just with AIO). Shine is not much different than other products IMO. I was impressed with Blackfire/Pinnacle Paste Glaz topper on silver more than Klasse so far.

Default if your paint is in good condition, you won't need much more than that

if your paint needs a lot of work, you'll need some steps before the AIO.

Here's been my experience. Car was only about 1 month old. Cleaned, then used the AIO. Surface was very slick and quite shiny. Week later, i put the SG. Surface was pretty slick, but didn't seem quite as slick as the AIO. Day later, i put 2nd coat of SG. Same slickness. Still shiny.

Now, over 1.5 months later, the slickness is the same. Dirt just doesn't stick much to the car. I used to have brake dust on the front door panels, but not anymore. Dirt pretty much comes off when i spray the car with water- seriously - when it rains, it actually cleans my car (of course i get kicked up dirt from the road, but minimal).

Washing it has been cake. I love the stuff. As for price, I don't know the exact exchange rate, but from autopia.org or properautocare.com you should be able to get both for about $40 US after shipping.

Aren't you a detailer? Shouldn't we be asking you that?

Default lol, I do car detailing at home and when I worked for a VW dealership... more

I use some good quality stuff but don't know about better stuff such as Klasse, I would use it on my parents Audis and on my GTI. As for the VW dealer experience, they were using local home made stuff. I wanted some long lasting products and fine class and there was those Klasse products on vwvortex.com for sale. So I just wanted to know more about that stuff. I'm sure you car detailing veteran know twice more stuff I know about detailing, anyway, I'm only 18y.o. so I have a wole life to learn more!
