If you were going to purchase some new sealant from
these listed above. What product and why would you prefer
this to the other. I will be using a PC to do the work. I prefer
a wet look and something that is user friendly. I would be
intrested in your prep aswell. The paint on the car is 5 yrs
old ( orig paint ) and in great shape. No swirls to remove.

I`d apply it by hand though.

OMG!! That mazda is amazing! :drool: what was the process on that one? Is there anything over the 2180 or did you use that as your LSP?
I`m really starting to fall in love with the FK line.

OMG that Merc is NOICE! :drool:
I just bought a couple of items from FK, FX100(bannana) and #425(bubble gum) and despite their generic looking packaging they are two of the best products I`ve tried in some time. They go on so quickly and easily I think it will encourage more use!
As I was detailing in the garage, a fly in my parking garage died and it slid right off the hood! honestly!!:D
but that Mazda looks like something George Lucas would have wipped up. Is it real or is it an illusion? Very nice..(needs red caliper painting it a v6!)
ScottWax, what tire dressing did you use on the Merc? What kind of camera are you using?

Pearl white car
black harley
Not the products you stated but one thing about black harleys that are ridden much you will need a good polish. This owner of this 83 Shovelhead has that common tendency to rub his jeans against tank. This particular bike was PO85Rd, FMJ and then wiped down with Werkstatt AG.
Chrome was Prime and AJ. Pipes are being replaced. Sun was behind clouds but thats all I had to work with.

Isn`t AJ just mainly Klasse + Water? 2180 is pretty versatile, not my fav but it would be a good choice.

the pics are also subjective to your surroundings (reflection bounceback), lighting, etc.
Both vehicles look as if they have been dipped in oil, they are so wet. I have used #2180, will try the Jett, this summer.

Regarding the 2180, what is the difference between the 216, 218 and 2180? I`ve been recommended the 216 as a coat underneath PW; what do you guys think? My red car is only a year old.
Severly doubt that it`s Klasse + water
It`s thicker than SG , smells different and delivers far superior results
SG doesn`t provide the slickness that AJ does, actually I find it doesn`t make paint slick at all
I tried applying AJ on a small section of rear bumper of my car with edge white pad at 700-1000 rpm
Got a superb finish

No swirls to remove on a 5 year old car? You should look harder! :D

to learn more about fk1 products, please visit the site.
216 is like aio
218 has cleansers with the sealant
2180 is a pure sealant.
FK1 has a forum as well. Join us.
I am telling you, to try 216 and pink wax on your red paint after some polishing work.
you will love the result!!
