I was just wondering if CG SQD is the same like FK1 425 or is Finish Kare just a relabel CG product ???

Have you tried both to compare?

I doubt it`s the same. The guy that started FK1 was one of the Maguair`s family members that became unhappy with the way his family was doing business. The story goes that he himself was a pretty gifted chemist, and that he hired additional chemists to formulate everything in his product line. He has since passed away, though, so I guess it`s possible that the new management is borrowing products from other places. If it`s the same stuff, they`ve at least changed the color.

So its not the same then.

I`m not an expert detective- but just from reading the FK website - I doubt they get anything from CG - IMHO.

agreed, and if anything it would be the other way around...

i have the cg product and don`t like it near as much as 425. and 425 smells a hell of alot better.

I highly doubt that . FK does mfg. their own products/chemistry . I chemical plant may make it for them but not what I was told. Chemical plants such as CG/Warner Chemical (same company I believe) make a lot of products. You would be surprised how many of these boutique products are made by the same mfg`s or other mgr`s . it would probably change your whole outlook on products. We have a chemical plant here and my X wife works at a chemical plant ( both specialize in automotive ) and products are usually mixed to customers spec`s are chemist spec`s and manufactured from there. Not a bad thing it is a speciality thing and cost a lot of money for manufacturing, hence the farming out of manufacturing as with many , many other products outside the wax/automotive industry. If the stuff works and you like it , who cares who mfg`s it.

Also I`ve had the CG synthetic and have FK 425 , not the same thing IMO. Not even close to me.
