FX-100 Has Been Out of Stock for Months...Anyone know Why?

OCKlasse · 05-05-08, 11:39

Every time I go to order some, it's always out of stock. Did they permanently stop selling it?

I was under the impression that it has been discontinued...

I sent them an e-mail TWICE asking if it had gone away. Never did get an answer.

same.

If it was in fact discontinued, I will be forever saddened

OK I just called Finish Kare:

While the FX-100 has not been officially discontinued, it is not expected to return for a while

I was told that 217 is the closest equivalent and can be use very sparingly in a spray bottle to mimic FX-100.

It has been out of stock for 2 years

I think PakShak has some. FX-100

Welcome to Autopia!

Unfortunately, PakShak doesn't have any of it either. Ranney really oughta just take it off the website but that might be easier said than done.

I'm guessing that you spoke with Torey at FK. I came right out and offered to buy an entire production run of it and the bottom line is that, well, don't hold your breath.

I get the feeling that Torey isn't authorized to make an official pronouncement about the future of FX100 and that the powers that be at FK don't want people to give up hope. I can't help but wonder if VOC regs factor into this

It was not Troy, but rather a gentleman with a quite unusual name (Beneton?).

Was (is?) FX-100 basically a spray on wipe off sealant?

It does seem strange that FK1 would discontinue an item like this. It's one type of product that would be missing from their lineup.

I think Accumulator is probably on to something re the VOC regs.

I've got about 30 oz from a 32oz bottle left. I think it was probably one of the last bottles that Pakshak had last year. I haven't wanted to use anymore of it since it looked like it was being discontinued.

Shall I start the bidding?
