Finish Kare dropping external distribution

[Older]

It’s up to $31.00 on Amazon.

Sad to hear another company at the end of the line. I always hoped someone would make an updated liquid version of FK1000p. I know there were a lot of fans but I tried to be a fan of their products but just never jived with a single one.

They produced a liquid version for their mold release customers, was used to quickly renew the release abilities of the 1000P for one additional product release.

The liquid was #1000L and pricey.

That one seemed to come-and-go fast...like, I no sooner learned about it and it was off the market. IIRC there was some ingredient that they had a problem with..or something like that.

And gee, I`d completely forgotten about M08.. *completely*

FRP customers moving away from older type products, no longer enough volume to justify production plus tougher VOC regulations.

If you want to see what Finish Kare`s "factory" looks like recently, please see this thread:
PA DETAILER parked outside Collinite
Look at the second post with a picture, even if the title is about Collinite.


I dislike the VOC regulations, even if it does make for a "better" environment for all of us. It really impacts the production and availability of "good" detailing and cleaning products. Good example is in newspaper ink and printing. I used to use old Wall Street Journal newspaper sheets of stock price listings because the print was so small and dense when it was printed with solvent-based ink to polish and clean auto windows in the late 70`s-early 80`s. It was the paper-fiber quality and solvent-based ink that supposedly contributed to its ability to do that on windows after using a window cleaner and cloth toweling on them. It worked well. Today`s newsprint paper material is junk and the water-based inks now used will only smear a window.

I don`t think that`s fair, Lonnie. That`s from 5 years ago, they redid the front:

It looks very well kept, and has a FedEx truck in the driveway.

My post is from "That was then"; your post, Setec, is "This is now"
Well at least the building is still there.
No signage, though, to tell what the name of the business is. It IS the same business, isn`t it???

[Setec Astronomy]

The business name is on the door.
