Here are the instruction I follow, and have had many great comments on my finish even the dealer is impressed.

Klasse All-In-One Hand Application

1. Thoroughly wash and dry your vehicle. Remember to work in the shade.

2. If you feel any rough spots on your vehicle, you may use a clay bar to remove any surface contaminants that survived the washing process. It’s an optional step, but worth the extra time.

3. Lightly dampen a terry cloth or a microfiber applicator pad. Pour a nickel-sized amount of Klasse All-In-One on the pad and apply to one area in long, overlapping strokes. Use light pressure, but not enough to tire your arm.

4. Use a clean terry cloth or microfiber detailing towel to wipe off product, even if you can’t see residue. Complete one section before moving on to the next.

5. Your vehicle will be clean, polished and protected for 4 to 8 months.

Tip: To dampen your applicator pad, try using a quick detailing spray such as Wolfgang Instant Sealant Spritz. The lubricants in the spray will make application even easier.

Tip: It takes very little Klasse All-In-One to polish your entire car. One nickel-sized drop will cover at least half, if not your entire hood, depending on how large your vehicle is. There should be little, if any, residue left on the area after you’ve applied Klasse. If you can see it, you’ve applied too much. Spread the excess until you can’t see residue. If you try to buff an area that is still wet, it will streak.

Don’t forget you can use Klasse All-In-One on your windows, wheels, chrome, headlights, and trim. Follow the same steps. Do not use on Wind Screen!!!

I use Sonus Acrylic Spritz to dampen the MF pad for SG.
With AIO I use a foam pad that spread the product evenly.

Here's an interview with a Klasse exec on the proper way to use Klasse

Be cafeful with 100% cotton, as most towels labeled 100% cotton still contain some polyester..which can cause swirl marks in your paint. To check, use a blank Cd...rub the towel across the Cd to se if it leaves any marks. If it will scratch the Cd it will do the same to your paint.

I use DF concours towels will good results. Sorry no info on Klasse but the sites mentioned previously in the thread are excellent sources of info about detailing.

I think what might be happening is I am not letting the AIO dry long enough. I rubbed it on and used a microfiber towel to take it off immediately after using it. I think it is leaving long streak marks. Plus besides using way to much.

there is no waiting necessary for AIO. Its an acrylic so it bonds imediately to the surface. Wipe on Wipe off. Streaking may alos be in due in part to your buffing method. Never wax on wax off in circles. You should use long strokes working from left to right, a good method to preven missed areas.

When I get streaking its usually due to uneven application of AIO and not turning the polishing towel often enough. You want to make sure the surface of the towel is as free of wax as possible as you remove the AIO. I also try to avoid dry rubbing any surface. Whether is cleaning, lifting polish, or buffing, I always try to make sure the surface is wet of damp before contacting paint with towel.
