I went the typical route on my new '12 G37XS...
After two coats of Klasse SG, I applied a topping of P21S. Looks killer!
Now I know the SG is going to last much longer than the P21S top coat. So my question is, two months from now, can I simply apply another coat or two of SG, or do I need to first use Klasse AIO to ensure the remnants of the P21S are completely gone?
Thanks!

I've got a predicament with my Zele Titanium exhaust and shift **** (Both are burnt titanium, don't want to lose the burnt finish), the shift **** looks horribly dull as is the exhaust, I've looked around at what to use to clean it and give it, its shiny luster again, but for the most part, on multiple forums I hear WD40 or Alcohol and you're outta luck from there, any product or input on keeping these things looking nice and new?
Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be happy to help.

New Products
Greg,
Long time member of myg37, don't even have a G37 anymore but I still come back here for your advice! Are there any new products on your site that you recommend? I bought Menz FMJ a while back and am starting to run out, I don't see it on the site anymore and wanted to see if you had anything that was new from them that was the equivalent. Right now I am using:
CG Maxi Suds II for washing
Fine Grade Clay
CG EZ Creme Glaze
Menz FMJ Sealant
P21S Concours Wax (or Dodo Juice Light Fantastic)
I currently drive a white car. Are there any products that you would swap out of my list to improve anything and mesh well together? Please keep in mind I do not own a PC Buffer so everything needs to be able to be applied by hand. Thanks!!

Gregg,
Any idea what product will help me get rid of this? This is my GF's car. She attempted to jump start her friends car today and accidently mixed up the positive/negative connections. The jumper cable literally burned into her bumper (as you can see from the picture). Thankfully she didn't mess her whole car up. I just want to get the black/white cable part off her headlight and bumper and prob try some touch up paint afterwards. Any help would be appreciated!!

It really depends on your specific goals, budget, vehicle, etc. but I'll outline one of my favorite combos that works in just about any situation.
Wash and Dry
Most swirls come from this process so be sure to use good technique and quality products. If you need to upgrade your products check out these kits:
DI Packages Washing and Drying Basic Kit
DI Packages Washing and Drying Starter Package
Clay Bar
Helps deep clean the paint.
DI Packages DI Gentle Fine Grade Clay Bar 100g & Clay Lube
Polish
This is the step where you actually remove the swirls for good and restore that like new shine again!
Meguiar's Ultra-Cut Compound M105 - Lake Country Orange Light Cutting Pad 2x
Meguiar's Ultra Finishing Polish M205 - Lake Country White Polishing Pad 2x
Sealant
Protect the shine and enhance it!
Blackfire Wet Diamond with Polycharger - Lake Country Blue Fine Finishing Pad 1x
Wax
A sealant provides more than enough protection and an outstanding shine so you can certainly stop there. If you want the maximum gloss apply a wax on top of the sealant.
Poorboy's World Liquid Natty's Blue Wax - Lake Country Blue Fine Finishing Pad
Hand remove all of these products with CLEAN microfiber towels. I highly recommend picking up about 5x - 10x DI Microfiber All Purpose Towel.
If you have any questions please check out our detailing guide or ask me I'd be happy to help! Don't forget we have 25% off through 3/22 with the code Spring12, but it doesn't apply to DI Packages, tools and sale items.

I have a malbec black finish on my car which is like a black but also red/purplish color. I use chemical guy black light Hybrid radiant finish and then finish it with Chemical guy hybrid v7 sealant. I was just wondering do you have any suggestions to use for the color of my car or is what I'm using be fine?

Greg great info and I love the Menzerna products you deal almost as much as the SPRING12 sale! Just applied 2 coats of PowerLock at 24 hour intervals, would a coat of Nattys Blue take away from the gloss of the Powerlock, enhance it, or is it even necessary?
thanks for the expertise!

Thank you for the support I appreciate it. The Power Lock looks fantastic by itself and has a very shinny reflection in my opinion. A wax is not necessary but some people feel the added protection and added gloss is worth it. This is largely a matter of personal opinion based on perception so it's hard to provide a universal answer. I certainly don't think it would take away from the finish as it can only help. If you have the time I'd say go for it and try it out. You can also use this wax by itself in between full details to get that deep gloss back with just one coat to get many uses out of it. Hope this helps!
