from the klasse bottle sitting in front of me
"heavy duty non-abrasive cleaner protector - polish - long lasting acrylic protection"
Klasse AIO is a polish and wax in one. Its good for "one step" waxing.
However, I still reccomend a seperate polish/scratch remover with a coat of carnuba on top, like P21s. Clay if necessary.

Klasse AIO have some abrasive, but very very VERY little, you'll hardly notice it. its mainly used for paint cleaning after a polish to level out the paint and prepare it for the real protection. it does have some protection but it wont last you a week.

Yes I agree the best way to keep your finish looking nice is with clay, 2 stages of polish (or more if the paint is oxidized/scratched/faded) and a nice carnuba coat on top. This is what I use on my car (einszett metallic polishwax and paint polish) with a top coat of P21S. I can then layer more P21s on top of that.
But for the average user who doesnt want to spend that much time, AIO works great just once every ~3 months and gives a good shine.

i thought s100 was only for motorcycles? Maybe it doesnt matter. P21s isnt THAT expensive, here is a whole detailing kit for $52 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/P21S-...QQcmdZViewItem
the wax it self is $24, which is ALOT cheaper than zaino.

ive had a few friends that tried the more expensive Zymol stuff out, its amazingly easy to apply but the results are the same as the 20-30 dollar sealants we have =/ . same with durability.
