Finish Kare Products

With so much love for FK425 and 1000P, I was wondering, are there any other amazing sleepers in the line? Sealants, tire dressings, compound, polishes, soaps... They pretty much have it all, but some items are large quantity.

I personally love these type of low-hype companies that quietly make great products. Collinite, Poorboys, Lusso, et.al.

Ultra Polymer Sealant 2180 is pretty good and reasonably priced. I have gotten decent durability with it.

I have many samples of their popular products. Most of them I have tried at one time or another. I believe the two you mention, Wax Addict, are the shining stars.

Their other QD, FK146 is OK too, better cleaning and *maybe* a tiny bit of concealing ability.

Their Decontamination system works, can be *VERY* effective, but it`s nasty stuff and more likely to result in an "oops!" than the ValuGard system.

Another FK product I use and like is the FK Anti Static Poly Wipe Restorer Spray Detailer. Leaves a very slick surface and anti static is a winner for me.

#425 extra slick final body shine (thanks ronkh) lays down a very slick, high gloss shine. beads like crazy.

I like FK1016 Wash & Wax concentrate. It leaves a great shine after washing.

I have a bottle of their top kote tire dressing. Wasn`t impressed with it. One or two times out in the rain and it was gone. Looked great at first but durability just isn`t there. I still have like 3/4 of a 32oz bottle. Been sitting on the shelf for almost a year now

Playing Devil`s Advocate here, but maybe some of these products are just old and not updated with the latest technologies. In many cases, that`s OK, even preferred. Sometimes, not so much.

Is that the FK146 or something else?

Yes, Accum, he`s referring to FK146, known by those nouns. I`ve been wanting to try this. $14 for 31 oz.

Speaking of trying things, thanks to a forum member, I got ahold of some FK108 Top Coat. ShaneB, above, mentioned not liking it on tires. I`ve tried it on my rear tires with Bold & Brite on fronts. FK108 was a tad more matte, but longevity has been nearly identical. But, FK108 has excelled on my dash. Two weeks in, my dash still has a low-level gloss, but more imprtantly, not a speck of dust has had an affinity to the dash.

FK claims anti-static on some of thier products, and it appears to be the case. ShaneB, if you want to unload that 108....

WaxAddict- Hey, that`s interesting about the FK108! I`ve never really experienced any of that anti-static quality, but I`d sure appreciate it on certain surfaces.

I look forward to hearing what you think of the FK146.

It`ll take me a while to go through my current supply of FK425 and FK146, and we`ll see whether or not I really let IUDJ replace them.

Accum, yes the stuff I was referring to is fk-146. Didn`t know the numbers until just looking it up. I bought it on bogo so I have plenty. I do like it. Glossy and the little amount of dust slides off the car when I drive it. The car is a weekend ride.

I like FK108 on the interior, too!

I`ve tried many of their products, and as others have mentioned...they are decent at best. They aren`t bad, but they aren`t good either. I think FK`s technology is pretty far in the past (which isn`t good for me). I do, however, love 425...it`s still a winner. I`ve used the 146, and if you`ve used 425, you won`t like 146. It`s better for a "cleaning" QD...but that`s not what I personally use QD for, so I don`t like it.
I also love hidden-treasures, but I personally don`t think FK has any beyond the 425 and 1000p that they are known for.
