FK425 or Optimum Instant Detailer?

[ricka]

I`ve used all types of QD`s (DG 521, Meg UQD, QuikShine, Danase Turbo and OID). Right now it looks like OID is a slight winner for gloss and slickness--especially with the concentrated 32oz that makes a gallon.



Have been reading up on FK425 and wondered if anyone has used both for comparisons...



Thanks much

I`ve heard good things about 425 but I absolutely love OID. Great slickness and it smells like bubble gum.

Never used OID but 425 is my favorite by far, very slick. Also smells like bubble gum.

I use both and they are imho the two best looking QDs.

I don`t know if OID has the anti-static properties of 425 but OID is the winner in gloss and slickness.

Very economical if you buy a gallon.

I don`t care about the cleaning abilities of QDs, I only use them after washing to keep my nubas going.

I also have never used OID but I have gone through a ton of different QDs

I will never use anything but 425 EVER again!

Heh, I need to grab a bottle or even a sample of 425 so I can do a comparison between these two...

[ricka]

I might have to as well...the price is certainly decent including shipping.



I`m interested in conducting a pollen test between 425 and OID. Both say they have great anti-static properties and this is definitely the time of year to prove or disprove their claims.

Any updates on those trying FK425 against OID?

to me, they are nearly identical in slickness and gloss. might give a slight edge to 425 for anti-static but not enough to make it a clear winner. as mentioned before, i`ve tried `em all. any qd is better than none during drying or adding some slickness.



go with the one that`s most economical. you can get a gallon of OID out of the 32oz concentrate for $19.00 + shipping. or you can buy a gallon of 425 for $27.50 + shipping. either way you won`t be disappointed.

I`ve used both and IMO 425 wipes off easier and a tad slicker. I gave the OID away and ordered another gallon of 425.

[Mindflux]

I`ve yet to try either but I like that you can use OID in a 3:1 ratio. Thusly tripling your OID supply. If you have a gallon it now makes 3.. I`m sure you could dilute FK425 too but has anyone tried it?

[cobrar97]

Legacy99 - I`m suprised...you are the only one who preferred the FK425 (after reading other threads). I was about to finally order some OID to replace my FK425 stock, but now I`m worried. I`ve loved FK425, and don`t want something I won`t like. And you are an actual 425 user that doesn`t like the QID. I need more opinions now.

I find OID to be superior in nearly every way. The easiest, slickest, glossiest, quickest QD I`ve used.

[dublifecrisis]

OID IMO is not quite as easy to wipe away as a QD. Never tried the FK so not judging between the 2. OID, though not as tough to wipe away as a Spray wax, it IS a little filmy but I only noticed on metallic black after I went out in the sun. First time using it so..



Do love the bubble gum smell and the slickness though.
