FK425 can it be used as a qd for fresh paint.

I researched about what can and cannot be used on fresh paint but since this is a polymer i had to ask.The label says its body shop safe but i went on FK`s website and there was nothing there about my question.

I just got my frt bumoer repainted and dont want to leave it bare.

FK425 will work fine. Wait 2-3 months before sealing and waxing. Is this on your G35? If so, I had my G rear bumper repainted and since it was heat baked the body shop told me that I could seal and wax right away. I did this with no ill effects on the paint, this was 1.5 yrs. ago.

Yea it is and he is going to bake the hell out of it as he said.

superchargedg- Note that "bodyshop safe" isn`t always the same thing as "fresh-paint safe". Dunno if that applies in this context though :confused:



IF you think FK425 is OK, then maybe you oughta look into their 2180, which is also OK *according the FinishKare*.



Being utterly paranoid about this stuff, I don`t use either on *my* fresh paint, but that`s just me.

Im still on the fence about doing anything for a month.

I don`t blame you. I`d just pick up a "pure polish" from Meguiar`s (i.e., #3/#5/#7/#81 or Deep Crystal Step #2 Polish) and use that after every wash.

superchargedg- Glad to help. I like the #5 so much I use it for about three months after any paintwork. Kinda hard to find though, I`d go through Meg`s online or check the local autobody/paint supply places.
