Nice job, man. I used Yo' Steve's sampler kit, too, and really love the results. I just put a second coat of SG on yesterday (the first went on a month ago), followed by a top coat of Meguire's No. 24 liquid. Quite fine, and well prepped for Winter, should New England ever get one this year (it was 72F here yesterday).
I use MF towel to remove the SG and had no problem. The MF won't swirl or scratch, and I think it's good not to leave the SG on for too long. Steve suggests about 20 minutes or so. Also, he suggested just breathing on any SG spots that were tough to remove, and it works.
I'm reserving judgment about buying a normal amount of Klasse until I read more actual experiences with Blackfire.

all these people praising a product on practically new cars...well before I make the "plunge" lets hear some stories from some older school v-dubs, whose paint really needs that extra TLC. before/after anyone?

Well I cant tell you how well it works for sure on older cars, because I have never used it on older cars. What I can tell you though is that I have had older cars and I know what works. You still have the same type of paint on older cars as you do on newer cars. The differance is that the older cars have more scratches or oxidation or what not. I can tell the differance between a good wax, and a not so good wax on a new car or not. The same base elements that you are looking for on the new car are the same as an older car. I was reluctant to buy the kit myself, but decided that I have spent more on trying out other kind of waxes and washes etc etc. If you buy the sample kit from http://www.yosteve.com your only set back 20 bucks MAX. I dont think its so bad....if you go and count up the amount of money that you have put out on trying "NEW AND IMPORVED" products I am sure that it will come out to be alot more than 20 dollars . Its up to you though, this is just my own opinion.

P.S. If any of my spelling is wrong, I am sorry. I suck at spelling

Re: Thinking about buying some Klasse??? Look at this... (-=VdubGuY=-)

you are right, it sint that expensive at all...my question is does it last? Here in New York winter is fast approaching (strange that it isn't quite here yet) and will the wax endure the winter with just quick washings at coin-ops?
Also you think it would be alright to wax in my garage to ensure proper tempurature for application? or will it mess with my head?

it should be fine to wax in your garage, not too many waxes have toxic fumes. make sure the temperature is around 55 degrees because some waxes will not bond to the paint in really cold temps.
about your wax lasting through the winter with quick washings, i dont know if you want to spend the extra money or not but try to find a detail shop that does handwashing. i work for a detail shop and we use car soap that has wax in it which actually helps extend the time between waxings.
vdubguy is close about old and new paints, the paints themselves are probably pretty close but i know that older cars A1's, and A2's dont have a clearcoat which makes maintainence harder. scratches are easier to get out of clearcoat than the actual paint.
