Fk 1000P Application

[Vegas1]

Just layed down 2 layers of FK 2180 for the winter.



I used the 2180 last April and I`ve been really impressed with the look and durability.



Over the past months I`ve been using PW, FX100, and 425 with excellent results also.



Just received 1000P, which I`ll layer as a topcoat and was wondering if anyone had any tips or hints besides putting it on very thin.



Thanks!

Yes,dampen your applicator with water or #425,work it in,leave for 15-20 mins(you can leave it longer,makes no difference),great product,one of the most durable waxes if not*THE* most durable wax out there.

my favorite wax. Put on with a pc. let it sit for 20 minutes. wipe off. I`ve gotten 8 month (customer wanted another full detail) out of it - paint was still in great shape. the rover sits outside 24/7 and not taken care of. BTW, it was applied over Poorboys PWC. Imagine what it will do over 2180! Good stuff.

I havent used 1000P yet but wondering how it compares with collinite 845 and 855/476



I have 2180 and pinkwax and like them both but im looking for more metallic pop than pw

thanks

You would get more metalic pop with 1000p,than pink wax,1000p is `bright` while pink wax is warm/wet.It does leave a very nice finish,but it won`t hide anything,so remember to get the paint as good as you can first.

I`ve always applied 2180 with a PC, whats your method for applying 1000p with a PC?



Also, how many layers do you guys put on, and how often?

is 1000P meant to be a monthly wax? I`m going to ask for a $5 sample when I restock my 425 and 146. I loaned out my massive 10 pound tin of Pink Wax. PW is nice but not really wet enough for me. I`ve topped it with Aqua Wax (chased with 425) and it got a wetter look. I`m going to try a Optimum Wax mixed with Werkstatt Carnauba Jett. My car is silver.

I wouldn`t say that 1000p is meant to be a monthly wax,or 3 monthly wax etc,but of course you can apply it as often as you see fit.I have `let it go` for 10 months on a test panel,in my garden in scotland,and it was still there! but i would never leave my own car for even 1 month,without reapplying something.On your silver car,i don`t think 1000p is going to look all that wet in comparison to pink wax,but it will look quite bright.

From what i know, 1000p dries up much faster than pink wax. recommended is to wait for just 5-10 min and do it section by section.

I have done a couple of silver cars with 1000p and it gives silver that wet look that is amazing. I usually always put 3 coats of 1000p on any color. It adds a thick shine to silver which makes it stand out more than any other lsp that I have tried so far. Pink wax does not do much for silver, but other colors it is amazing. Try 1000p on your silver car and you will like it a lot. I also love there wash and wax. It leaves a shine and amazing protection every time you wash. I am so spoiled by this stuff. Good luck and nice car!

The first coat of 1000p is a bit#$ to put on and take off at first, but the second layer goes on and comes easy. Well worth the all the hard work.

After giving my car a second layer of 1000P yesterday, I have to wholeheartedly agree. The look is awesome. :2thumbs:



My 8 year old son said it best when he said "It looks like a piece of hard candy with silver specks in it."



I do plan on 1 more layer for extra winter protection soon.

Now put a couple of coats of pink wax over it. Do you have any pics?

This has pink wax for my once a month application,

For the weekly/byweekly post wash I use Aqua Wax chased with 425 to restore the anti-static barrier.

I recently gave away my pink wax to another Silver car owner.



how does the 1000P compare to this?

nice car!!!!! I have been playing around with the 1000p and pink wax and from what I see with my eyes is that 1000p after 3 coats is a thick, super glossy shine that does not wash away. I have even tried spraying degreaser on it and nothing... I was amazed at that point! It`s more like a paste sealant on steroids. If you buy the 1000p also get the 1016 wash and wax. This stuff is amazing. It also leaves a nice shine and repells water from all the moldings and windows just by washing and the dirt just falls off. The best car wash and wax out there!!!!
