*water: I don't know from which and what stores the items i had shipped here were bought from, but majority of the items i have here is bought from autogeek which is an online store, i only have my friend look for those items not available in autogeek in stores near her area, according to her there seems to be a lot of stores in the California area that carries these different products especially the larger hardware stores.
As for Klasse, its actually not that hard to apply and remove, just have a water spray bottle and set it to mist, i actually find Klasse AIO to be a bit easier to remove as compared to waxes and as for the SG the water spray bottle helps a lot, i can do a Klasse twin application in about 3 hours or less, after that is all left for the SG to cure for about 12 to 24 hours.
Hmm the reason why i classified Klasse AIO and SG as a two step is because AIO is best designed to be used with SG, its pretty much like AIO cleans and protects the paint without removing and reducing paint and then SG further enhances the protection and gloss of the paint. Klasse AIO alone can already give you a durable protection its just that using both with amplify the results and make it worth while
As for simply protecting, all other items i have listed are used along in terms of your monthly protection. In the detailing scene theres what you call a 3 step, a 2 step and a 1 step.
the 3 step is when you apply a compound followed by a polish and then a sealant or a wax
the 2 step is when you apply a polish or cleaner followed by a sealant or a wax
and the 1 step is when you use an All-in-one wax like Mothers carnauba cleaner wax, Megs cleaner wax, Quick Detailer #66, Klasse AIO and a whole lot more, these waxes cleans you paint making the color shine at the same time providing protection, however the protection this offers is not as durable (with the exception of Klasse AIO ) as compared to the pure LSP
And then there's the pure LSP stage where all of the products i have listed under my previous post falls, this is usually done monthly and is designed to protect only, it has no cleaners or polishes.
I think i got you a bit mixed up, sorry for that, So bottom line is what do you consider as the "one step" you mention above? Are you pertaining to a LSP ( Last Step Procedure) that purely protects? If so, then all of the products listed previously are lets say "one step LSP's" and if you're pertaining to One step waxes, then as mentioned there's Moms Carnauba cleaner wax, Megs Deep cleaner wax, and a whole lot more
As for the prices of the items just check out autogeek.net, i think the only one i didn't get there is prestone at 9$, and FK Hi temp wax at 20$ and Duragloss paste wax at 13$ since they weren't available from autogeek that time.
Actually waxing doesn't need to be very tiring, if you're just waxing and merely protecting the paint then you wouldn't even be tired after applying waxes, what most people do it apply pressure while waxing which is pointless IMO its just the same as lightly gliding the applicator over the paint, same results, and as for buffing it off, once you learn to apply really thin layers of LSP then removing them would be a breeze.
Hope this helps, Sorry for the confusion with the previous posts description
