OK, Im new to the whole car detail scene. I've done some reading and tommorow Im going to go down to my local bmw stealership and get a bottle of Klasse AIO and Klasse Sealant Glaze. Then I have heard good things about s100 I think it is, that they sell at harley davidson dealerships. Anyways I have some zymol left over I want to use would it be ok to mix it with the s100?? The s100 is carnuba right??
Also I bought the mothers clay bar kit a couple weeks back but have read that it isnt the greatest. My car is a 2000 and has never been clayed. Should I go ahead and do it or should I track down some Pinnacle clay??
Thanks!

What do you mean by mix? mix on the surface or mix into the cans? hehe. I think you should choose one or the other. Maybe you could use up your zymol, then move over the the s100 when you are done. Of you can just give the zymol away.
The mothers clay bar kit is fine. I am currently using pinnicle poly clay, but have used mothers clay bar kit in the past. Mothers clay bar is a lot softer and more pliable. I think they perform the same though.

Stick with the S100 and the Klasse this is a great combo. As for the mothers clay it works just fine. You can split the clay bar in have, 2 ounces will be ok to do your vehicle at least 4 to 5 times. :)
I would apply at least 3 to layer of the Klasse Sealant Glaze (http://www.autogeek.net/klashiggloss.html) prior to applying your S100. If you need help applying the klasse products click here (http://www.autogeek.net/klasse-usa.html)

Does Klasse Sealant Glaze need to cure after each application? I haven't even taken delivery of my car yet but I plan on going over her as soon as I get her.

Mother's is fine, just don't bother with the demo cleaner wax they bundle with it. As for "mixing" zymol and S100, which zymol? If it's the generic stuff (ie walmart/k-mart special) that's packaged by turtle wax, don't bother. It's a cleaner wax and will strip off previous layers. Throw that stuff out, it's crap. If you paid less than $25, it's the cleaner wax. S100's great, but only put that on after you do a couple of layers of SG. Syths will not bond to a carnuba layer, only put carnuba on over syths when you're happy with the protection that you've layered on.

Yes, must cure 24 hrs before next layer. Generally after 3 or 4 layers of SG, you get diminishing appearance results.

Don't you mean diminishing appearance improvement results?

I hope thats what he means.. hehe
So say I go out tommorow and put a layer of the klasse SG on my car after using the AIO. Will I have to wait a whole 24 hours to put another one over the first?

Does Klasse Sealant Glaze need to cure after each application? Yes. SG needs at least a day between applications. Some people say preferably a week.
Zaino is better in that respect, if you also use the ZFX accellerator. You can put on three coats of Zaino in a single day.

Yep, I shouldn't type long paragraphs after 16 hr days...l :D Pretty much after 3 or 4 layers, you don't see any difference, just a slightly thicker protective coating. If you want to make it pop after that, then put a layer of carnuba over it (S100/P21S is probally the most reasonably priced quality carnuba wax)
