I wasn't aware of that product. I just looked at a video on Youtube. It certainly looks much easier to use than a small clay bar, plus I HATE if I drop the clay bar on the ground.

I'm going to try this out because I'll probably do the cars this summer. I'll try the Speed Bar on my wife's car first.

I will second that (although I have no familiarity with Klasse products). I was a committed Zaino user from the late 90's until a few years ago. As I educated myself on this stuff, I realized that the times have passed Zaino by. There are much better products out there (I do use CarPro Reload to detail the car after I wash it). I do still have some Zaino products and I use them on my Harley, but the bike is not subject to the weather that the cars are subjected.

Yeah Reload is great, I use it after like every 2nd or third wash (overkill) and it really negates the need to do anything further.

You should try the Hyrdro2, very cool product. Spray on wet and hose off to cure.

My buddy came over and detailed my exterior Clay bar and all. It took almost all day. It turned out amazing. While he was working I did rear brakes and one caliper on his Infiniti G37xs.

Speaking of V8 I started a war on the Jeep Grand Cherokee forum. I started a thread V8 Hemi VS V6. Lets just say things are getting very heated up. Its as bad as Trump VS anybody else. The moderator is just letting it fly so the gloves are off. See the V6 is updated with 300HP with an 8 speed trans so it rocks. The Hemi boys are in complete denial about the V6 capabilities. I got the V6.
