FK1000p vs _ test

[512detail]

When it goes bad you *know* it as it dries out and becomes hard as a rock. Even then, I`ve brought it back to life (well....enough so that I could use it) by moistening it with FK425.



Interesting that the IPA affected it, given how some have claimed that IPA (categorically) "doesn`t compromise LSPs".

unless Optimum Paint prep has a flattening agent in it.. it took me three wipe downs with that product and a white micro to kill the beading on fk1000p (which I presumed meant it was gone)


just one to kill pbl sealant :(

i have some test tubes that have been sitting in the garage; one with Megs M16 and another with FK1000p. Small samples, and i put a bit of Griot`s Paint Prep in them. Both waxes are still fairly "solid" as of last time I checked. This was months later.

Huh, Paint Prep didn`t dissolve `em..that surprises me.

Good products to test as FK1000P was developed specifically to compete with M16 (Floyd`s way of sticking it to the rest of his family as I heard it).

I was surprised, too. Some agitation helped a bit, but overall the wax bit remained solid looking. I`ll try and remember to snap a pic tonight.

Cool story! Reminds me of why Ford took their GT40 to LeMans 50 years ago. :)

But, how could you keep IPA on the entire car for 8 minutes?

The better question is, "How did you manage to expose IPA to FK1000P for 30 minutes?":crazy2:

Panel-by-panel with saturated MF. But if I wanted to strip the LSP off a whole vehicle I`d probably just wash it with ValuGard`s "A" or go over it with a Paint Cleaner.

Was doing some testing. First pic is FK1000p in some GG Paint Prep. Second pic is Megs M16, also in Paint Prep.
Pics were taken last night, which is at least 5 months after I put the products together in the tube. Recent hot days got the garage up to 109* and I`m wondering if that helped break down the wax further. When I first did this, the "chunks" of wax were bigger, and the liquid (paint prep) was more transparent.

Well, whatever`s going on, it does now appear that they`ve dissolved.
