    Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Paste Wax????

    Every now and then you`ll see someone mention FK1000 with rave reviews about it`s durability and yet you don`t seem to see many using it or talking about it. Why doesn`t FK1000 get more attention and use????

    It`s a great wax and there are a lot of people using it, but all the rants and reviews are going to the newer better waxes that are out now.
    Get your shine on!

    FK 1000P was big here a few years ago. It`s still an excellent sealant but on the back burner now since a zillion new lines have been launched since then.

    I used it late last fall for my winter LSP.I has great durability as I figured close to 5 months worth. Although it is great for protection the stuff is a bear to work with. Directions say to let haze it came off hard and reminded of using the old Turtle Wax hard shell paste wax in the green can when I was a kid helping dad practically scraping it off the paint. In less then 2 months I have to decide whether to use it again or stick with the BF products that I have used this summer.

    Well said. It`s more difficult to remove than other sealants. The Turtle Wax Hard Shell comparison was a very good one! It seems to be very durable though.

    Some users don`t have as much trouble removing it and I suspect they are better at applying a very thin coat of it, which makes removal a lot easier.

    One thing I haven`t tried is removing it with a MF bonnet. That could make it a lot easier and quicker!

    I personally love the "extra layer of clear coat" look FK produces as well as the amazing durability and intense (almost Collinite-like) water beading. However, like most products there is a trade-off, particuarly at that price point. FK1000 can be a bear to apply and remove. I have found that putting it on very thin and wiping it off just before it hazes helps application and removal considerably.

    There is almost a sweet spot, right as it is hazing, that makes removal easy. Miss it by a few minutes one way or the other and application is, umm, spirited.

    So true lol. I found a new bottle of FK 2180 Sealant in the back of my cabinet. Has anyone tried it ?? I did some "googling" and the reviews seem decent.

    As a matter of fact, it was your detail of that Impulse Blue GTO that called my attention to the FK1000. It just so happens I already happened to have some! I haven`t done an entire car with it yet though. Maybe next time I do my GTO I will use it. And yes, it can definitely be Collinite-like!
