View Full Version : I caved in to #425-what else is good?



Hey, Moe!

I was running out of QD, and, based on all the comments here, I caved in, and ordered a gallon of #425. The Autopia 10% discount code worked, and I will await its arrival.



According to Accumulator, Meg`s Final Inspection is a go-to for cleaning off polished panels. I think that my local NAPA store has it, so I am good to go there.



But, getting back to FK, they seem to have a pretty substantial product line. Other than the Pink Wax, which I am aware of, are there any other FK favorites out there, that I can keep in mind for the future?



Had a 75-degree day today, but since it was stormy, no car detailing. And, since the town where I live is re-doing the entire sewer system, my street has a gravel-filled, muddy cut running down the middle. And a return to winter is just a day away.



I have sprayed more mud out of the wheelwells this winter than I can describe. The good news is that the street is to be patched soon, with a re-pave later.



My girlfriend curbed my enthusiasm for a "spring detail" right now, and suggested that I wait until the street is fixed (smart woman).



I feel like the teenage "me" who waited in the early `70s for my cool, mail-order pair of Adidas basketball shoes for hoops season (drool, drool).

#425 is worth the wait! It`s just a terrific product. You mentioned being familiar with pink Wax. About six weeks ago, I applied a layer of FX-100 & PW to my black truck. I`ve washed weekly & QD`d with #425. This combo is going strong 6 weeks later. I never let a product "cuddle" my truck for more than 4 weeks at a time........but this combo of FX-100/Pink Wax/#425 has really impressed me.

2180 gets some good reviews.



I ordered the sample pack..pretty good way to get a taste for the line..and it`s a deal at <$20 I figured it out and it`s about half price per ounce versus their quart/pint sizes

I did the same. After having amazing results with FK425, I wanted to try some of their other products. Should arrive today. :)

I have been using 2180/PW/fx-100/425 on my black daily driver and can`t complain about the combo. I also like 350 for tires but they only sell gallons of it.

I have tried 215, 2180, PW sample, 1000P, 425, 350 sample, 121 sample... I just got some FX-100, PW & 1016 sample in the mail.



So far I like everything I have tried. I do like the 350 on my tires... but I wish they sold it in a smaller container. The 121 Ultimate Cleaner works well but the smell reminds me of some kind of public restroom deodorizer.

I don`t think they should sell you 425 without fx100.

I recomended it to someone who didn`t get the FX100 and they weren`t blown away like I still am.

Maybe FX100 and 425 need each other like SG needs AIO.
