Default Klasse AIO

OK, I'm kinda new to detailing, interested for about 6 month, I have done a lot of reserching but have a question.
I normally do a complete wash (2 bucket), clay, if needed Menz SIP, then Menz 106ff.
IPA wipedown, Wolfg or Jetseal then LSP.
I just ordered KAIO because of all the hipe. But the problem is not sure where this fits in.
Is KAIO a cleaner & LSP? So if I wash my car and apply KAIO, will it strip my wax/and or sealant?
Do I need to apply KAIO after wash then seal and LSP? Or wash then KAIO and be done with it?
Thanks

ggk, thanks, I did think that. So if it does can you apply sealant after KAIO then a wax?
I'm not a detailer and do this as a hobby but where does KAIO fall into your arsenal of detailing supplies?
Thanks

Yes. Apply the sealant after KAIO. Make sure the sealant is fully cured before putting on the wax. With a sealant, the wax is not necessary, but many people do put wax on top of sealant.


In your scenario:

wash (2 bucket),
clay,
if needed Menz SIP, then Menz 106ff.
IPA wipedown, (not sure if this is still needed...)
KAIO,
Wolfg or Jetseal
LSP.

Jhawk, Thanks. Seems like KAIO is a intermediate product when you don't need to clay? Or would you use it after claying? Starting to sound like a paint cleanser like HD cleanse or Lime prime.

it is really for when you dont want to go through all the steps. cause it is a chemical polish/cleaner and a sealant. if you are doing all the polishing and ipa wipedown then going to a good sealant like jetseal i dont see why you need it. it will prob only hurt jetseals durability as the sealant in kaio will breakdown before jetseal will.

i would keep the kaio for another time or your wheel. i hear it is pretty good on wheels!

Yes, KAIO is a cleanser. It will remove old glaze, sealant, wax, etc... from the paint. That way when you are applying the new glaze, sealant, wax, you are putting it directly on the [clean] paint, instead of old sealant, wax, etc... The easiest way to explain when in the process to use KAIO, is that it should be the last product you use before applying "gloss" products (glaze, sealant, wax).
