#425... I hate when people say WOW!

[Spilchy]

Spilchy--you have too much free time on your hands

With a blizzard outside and it`s midnight, I have time! Plus a quick search pulled these up. Nothing major to do.

I have to agree with Seth. Miami... if you don`t want to try it, that`s your choice. I don`t really think it`s up to any of us to convince you otherwise, especially with such scientific tests as spraying half the hood with 425 and half with another. It`s a great QD and, like many have already said, yes it does have a tendency to attract less dust. What`s so hard to believe about that.



If you don`t want to try it, that`s certainly no sweat off my back, or anyone else`s here. Maybe you should call this one in to the Mythbusters since you`re so skeptical

[SpoiledMan]

LOL, you guys convinced me! I ordered yesterday.

[Miami_vice]

You make claims like it`s a myth and it`s a selling point, etc... yet people who use it report on it repelling dust. Then you say they`re "gullable" despite having success with it. Do you even use the product? No? Then why do you make those comments?

Yes I bought it. Like it but its not the whole enchilada :nixweiss

It`s your same attitude that Charlie`s soap is the only way to clean MF`s and anyone who uses MF detergents are throwing money away (even when someone claims they haven`t had the same experience). All because you hand agitated 4 MF`s in a bucket.

It is…but if you want to keep thinking those MF detergents are special… Buddy you got more to see. I did this test 3 times & won’t bother posting more pictures, because apparently guys like you don’t appreciate it. BTW: the hand wash wasn’t the only test I did. There was more to it. I guess you’ll keep buying anything company’s make that clam things. :nixweiss

You said in another post "sorry for being an a-hole" regarding this topic. If you think that and have to type that, then maybe you shouldn`t say it?

No ….maybe you should ignore it, & not tell people what to do or what to write. . :chill:

Can anyone compare in final visual appearance clues of #425 with established products like:



Pinnacle Crystal Mist

Sonus Acrylic Spritz

Zaino Z8

Optimum Spray Wax

UPP / 4* QD

Meguiar`s Final Detail (old timers )



Please no comments on anti-static properties. Until someone can produce an anti-pollen agent the anti-static for dust is just a "marketing" ge(r)m IMHO.





How about shipping time to lower 48. I have had bad experiences (long shipping times) with products shipped from Canada.



TIA

????? My FK1 order shipped from PHOENIX AZ.

My order also came from AZ but I thought the shipping was slow. 10 days to get to NC, although I ordered on a holiday weekend.

I hope that`s the case. Patrick at ExcelDetail normally only takes 3-4 days from California. I hope that`s the case from AZ. I just got some parts from AZ and it only took 3 days :bolt.

I assumed Candian origin because of the Canadian tax question during billing. :nixweiss



10 days during the Holiday season in somewhat understandable.



USPS or UPS?

Have been using FKl on my laptop screen. Cleans the screen very nicley. It also works on the daughter Ford Focus. I do not see the claims of the others as far as antistatic claims. The laptop still gets dusty and the daughter`s Focus had dust on it everyday. the same as the Black truck sitting right beside it.



I understand about claims made by members. That is there experience. I am glad. It has not been my experience, unfortunately. MY truck has been a test bed of products this winter. The only thing that I noticed about dust accumulation is that the LSP that I used made the difference rather than the Detail Spray that I used.

blkZ28Conv,



I must be one of the "old timers", as I find the 425 to remind me a lot of Final Detail in appearance. As a matter of fact, I like to call it "Final Detail on steroids".



As for the "anti-static" claim... it`s difficult for me to tell during the winter months. I do find that the vehicles seem to wash easier. That may have as much to do with the extreme slickness of the product, as it does with any anit-static properties. Whatever the case, this is extremely nice stuff! :2thumbs:



My gallon of 425 arrived in about 5 days via FedEx. That`s about normal for delivers to my area.

Miami, as #425 works, it prevents the dust attration, so the surfaces will not be dust magnets any more. It won`t and can`t prevent the dust settling to the surface, so if yo live in a dusty environment the amount of dust on your car may be the same or slightly less, because the dust particles finally land on your car - due to gravity. #425 is not a force field that repels everything as it surrounds your car. It controls the dust attraction. It does just that what technically can be done - and it does it more than superbly.

I just placed an order from them(2/9/06). It take 4 days, I will get my by th 14th. Yup, thats Valentine day :2thumbs: btw Im in NYC, so that`s avg. They ship via FedEx Home btw.

[cgc2]

FWIW...2 day shipping from AZ to CA.

blkZ28Conv, I must be one of the "old timers", as I find the 425 to remind me a lot of Final Detail in appearance.

I`ve still got a gallon in the basement :chuckle:

[Spilchy]

It is…but if you want to keep thinking those MF detergents are special… Buddy you got more to see.

I have 5 gallons of Charlies, 1 gallon of their APC and 1 gallon of MicroRestore. After using all 3 on MF`s, the MicroRestore out performs the other two with the APC coming in second. So you`re wrong about throwing away money, especially if you can afford it is effective. I`ve tried Simple Green many times too. So I have seen plenty buddy, thanks.



Just because something doesn`t pan out the way you want it to mean that it`s wrong, or a "myth", or folks are "gullable." If you have a handful of people saying they notice less dust and they`ve tried it on TV`s and computers mean that they`re lying? Are they "gullable?"
