Klasse all in one is a polish and a cleaner...hence the name all in one...so i would only use the 3m swirl mark remover if you have bad swirl marks...

i would also try klasse sealer and glaze. works great on my EBP civic. very deep shine

Klasse All in one is a very mild polish, it will not remove anything more than very fine swirl marks. The reason I choose it after a swirl remover, is two fold

#1 - Almost all swirl removers have filler oils that are left behind on the paint after you use them. These filler oils cause bonding problems when using a polymer sealant (like platinum/blackfire/zaino/klasse)

#2 - Klasse leaves a thin acrylic layer on the paint, which works a great based when applying a polymer sealant (again platinum/blackfire/zaino/klasse)

I have klasse SG, but choose platinum over it because it has a much better apperance. The durribility is slightly less, but I hardly have a problem slapping afew more coats on from time to time.

I'm not at all impressed with Platinum, it just doesn't last.

Here's what I did on my Integra when I fully detailed it:

Regular Wash
Clay Magic
3M-SMR
Dawn Wash (stripped the un-needed oils in 3M-SMR so the platinum would bond)
Platinum Paint Pre Cleaner
Platinum Sealant Glaze
Then a week later I put on a coat of 3M-Perfect-It Showcar Paste Wax because the Platinum was just not holding up.

All products were applied with a Porter Cable Polisher (except claybar & washing) and hand buffed off with MicroFiber towels.

Edit: Grammar

It doesn't last as long as zaino/klasse, but ime it lasts alot longer than 3M Paste Wax.

3M Paste Wax looks great for the price, but its a pita to deal with from my experiance. Doesn't nearly go on/off as easily as klasse/zaino/platinum.

Just my opinions/experiances though ;-)
