haha yeah, well its a seleant so it requires 24 hours to fully cure so it was spaced out over about a week...

the nice part about it is its spaced out!
the worst part about it is its spaced out!

this is my daily driver so I had to both keep a strict eye on the weather report and try not to drive it too much, and if I did (like a commute to work), then it had to be washed to get all the dirt off so I could proceed with more coats on a clean surface. anyway, a labor of love. I'm a detail freak about my car and enjoy every second of it.

SEVEN coats. That's awesome.
I usually would do about 3, then top with the Pinnacle Souveran when I had a black VW.
Used to get people asking me where I got it painted all the time!

yeah, love that Klasse SG. Souveran is some great stuff as well! I tried Souveran on my 350 but got tiered of all the dust, too many oils.

I found the sectret was to finish it up with the Pinnacle Souveran Detail Spray (Crystal Mist??). It almost eliminated the dust problem and made the wax last forever, even on black, if you used it every couple of weeks.
