What to use for prep for FX100?

**imported_NHBFAN** · 05-07-2006, 08:49 AM

I have AIO, FPII, #80, #82, etc ...

Plan to order FX100 and 425.

I really don`t NEED any more detailing products, but here I go again :doh

You can use whatever you would like as prep, depends on what your paint needs...

That being said, I wouldn`t use the 100 as your only LSP. While FK bills it as a spray sealant (which it is), I find the durability to be pretty lacking for something you would want to use as your only LSP. Don`t get me wrong, I love the product, but use it as more of a gloss/protection maintenance after washes rather than a true LSP.

FX100 is not meant to be a LSP. It is a sealant that covers your LSP. My selections are Menernza PO85RD, Red Moose Glaze, Sourveran X 3, 425, then FX100. Awesome look.

What would you use the FK 425 for then?

#425 is a quick detailer that is generally used after a wash to give added shine and slickness. It is a one of my favorite QD`s.

I agree with the others on FX100 durability. Depending on how often you plan to apply FX100, durability may not be an issue and is simple to use. It can be used more as a booster between details.

If you`re sticking with the FK1 line, then you may want to try 2180 or 1000P that have greater durability. I don`t know if FK1 still sends samples, but post a note with your order or call them and ask for a sample of 2180 or Pink Wax. I don`t know if they have 1000P samples. I like all three products. 1000P & PW have stained my trim, but multiple layers of either is very nice.
