FK 1000 Hi Temp Paste Wax

BAKER · 09-08-09, 04:04

Just received the above from Autogeek, and on opening it, the wax was very hard. Usually if you rub the applicater on it, ,the surface will soften up. I didn't have the time to play with it today, but am wondering if this will soften up or is it normally that hard.

It's a hard wax. You'll just have to use some elbow grease and your app pad to heat it up.

Don't put it on too thick either.

There was a topic on this a week or so ago. So you might want to do a search and read some tips, and tricks to applying.

The wax is really hard in the tin, but once you spin a foam applicator a few times it will soften up to let you apply a thin layer. Key is a thin layer, and then let it sit for 15ish min or time it takes to go around the car and buff off.

In case the first two responses weren't enough...........apply it thin. Or you'll have Popeye arms when you're finished removing it.

I use a moistened foam pad, swirl it a bit in the can, haven't had any problems.

+1 I like to moisten my foam pad with some FK425. Very good for thin applications.
