Anyone still using Finish Kare 425 Extra Slick Final Body Shine...?

[AMP01]

My wife and I still use it for all dusting, baseboards, and trim work in our home... just bought a gallon two month`s ago! Works great on kitchen cabinets and marble/granite/quartzite counter tops as well !

That being said- what are 4 or 5 of them that you think are better?

Re-tired, I`m hoping someone else will give you a couple of contemporary product ideas. I`ve kind of moved away from them at this point.

It`s also amazing on bathroom mirrors

Just FWIW, and I`m sure not criticizing the use of FK425 for this, I switched my Household Dusting Product from QDs to RW with good results (besides the cost savings).

...[FK425 is].. also amazing on bathroom mirrors

(Besides the way my QDs/etc. never leave my glass just right...) I figure that whatever it leaves behind will just get cleaned off by the use of regular Glass Cleaner, which I have to use most of the time because of, uhm...tenacious [stuff]...that always seems to get one `em. I have to use a razorblade scraper on some of `em...and that`s even when I clean `em with Zep40!

Really, on mirrors? Do you clean the mirror first and then apply? Or do you actually clean the mirror with this?

It never streaked for me on paint but I never tried it on glass. I have half a bottle left and haven`t used it in some time.

I wonder, anybody here use FK146? Ketch does *not* like that one, and he oughta know whether it`s any good or not if anybody does, but eh...I kinda like it and have gallons on-hand already.

I still have a few gallons of #425 and a half gallon of #146 left. I still use 425 for wiping down door jambs, under the hood and trunk lids after a wash. Occasionally I use 425 on PPF while drying. I blow dry the vehicles as well as I can but the PPF always tends to have some spots and the 425 works well and leaves it slick.

146 I used a lot when I actually rode my motorcycle. I`d use it daily on my helmet to remove the bugs. I like to keep a small bottle of 146 and some microfibers in the cars to remove bird poo.
I still use 146, but mostly in the house. My black gas cooktop always has streaks when using any kitchen cleaner/degreaser so I finish off with 146 and a microfiber and it is spotless. It also works well on my black appliances. Just spray onto the microfiber and not the vertical surfaces. I learned that the hard way. I sprayed the face of my dishwasher and a small amount got on my tile floor. That stuff sure is slick with socks on! I nearly fell.

audicoupj- Ah, so I`m not the only person here who appreciates the FK146 after all! I dunno whether it`s *really* better than the QD-strength IUDJ (never did a side-by-side or anything like that..) but eh...it sure smells better to me.

I`ve found the FK146 can do a *TINY BIT* of concealing. Just enough to make the faintest marring less obvious, nothing miraculous but I do think I experience that with it (am I just imagining it? Dunno, these days I don`t spend time searching for dissatisfaction when something seems to be OK ).

I kinda want to mix FK425 and Beadmaker. It would possibly give me the slick feel with a slight gloss and protection aspect.

[JustJesus]

I`m slowly going through my gallon of FK425. Part of it went as a straight swap for some Beadmaker. I haven`t used Beadmaker since the initial try. Just didn`t do it for me. I guess I can revisit that one, but....

this is about FK425. I carry a small bottle with me and use it on the [more involved] detail jobs I do. Sometimes I use it over some wax. Almost always use it on glass as the final step before I tell the owner the car is done. I like it on glass. I don`t use it on paint as much as I would want to.

I`m still itching to try FK1000p, two layers, topped with their Pink Paste wax, and followed up with the FK425. I man can dream. haha.

At least 10 years ago (maybe longer?) this was the combination de rigueur on here when FK was THE hot product line. I thought it was a great combo when I used it and found it added a little darkness to my medium gray (Thunder Cloud) Toyota Land Cruiser. 425 seems to reduce static too. I`ve also got some FK 146, but haven`t used it lately. Supposedly has a bit of cleaning ability that 425 does not have?
