I know Loach tested the FK vs the fusso on YouTube goes by Wax Mode.
Fusso lasted more aggressive washes

I sure do wonder about the different durability experiences, but I suppose it`s just all those variations in individual situations.
If I had a LSP, most ANY LSP, die after a couple months I`d be looking for something else. I don`t even plan to keep using Souveran on the Jag if I ever get it out of mothballs. But I bet that garaging our vehicles all the time is a real wildcard that makes a huge diff.
FWIW, I find ZERO evidence of FK1000P degradation from repeated washes with 3D Pink Car Soap and/or Griot`s Car Wash. The FK1000P dies off in areas that get road [stuff] sprayed against them..mainly the sides of the vehicle, not necessarily in areas that get a lot of washing.
Manix- I sure don`t blame you for just doing one coat then. Diminishing returns and all that..

Short answer- NO, keep it off trim. I`ve used it on trim but put that in the "don`t try this at home, kids!" category as it can go HORRIBLY wrong quite easily.Is it trims safe, as in does it wipe off of trim that you get it on by mistake with out leaving the dreaded white residue?

Accumulator - I do like the Megs range and my experience is that you can move one shampoo from one car to another and results can vary. For example On my warm Yellow SS Ute the Megs Wash and Wax is brilliant and adds a little added protection however on our Metalic Grey Mazda its not so good. Enter NXT and both cars looked fantastic and both have FK1000 on them. Reflections are clearer and finish is slick. I have been chasing the Three Standards of Candy Gloss, Reflection, and Glow and NXT delivered on the Warm Yellow Beast best of all. Of course without FK1000 i don`t think it would be there. Do you have a favorite?
Dannyzz- Sounds like you found the right shampoo for you alright!
If you mean "favorite shampoo", then yeah...I like a 50:50 mix of Griot`s and 3D Pink Car Soap. I could live without adding in the Griot`s but I do think it contributes a bit of added lubricity.Do you have a favorite?
Do you recommend FK1000p for waxing wheels for winter? I’m sure a ceramic coating will last longer but looking to use my fresh can of FK 1000p before trying out some G5 Wheel Armor.
Yeah, works well IME. That`s what I`m using on two (or is it three...yeah 3) vehicles, one of which is a year-round daily driver. Try to get at least two coats on, about 24 hrs apart. Do the maintenance washes with a sorta-strong shampoo mix (instead of a Wheel Cleaner) and use some leaves-stuff-behind product (either a QD or a RW) as the final step. Might not make it all the way through winter, but still a viable approach.
My coated wheels just stay done longer, but they don`t really look/clean up/etc. significantly better than the FK1000P`ed ones. If I thought it was a huge diff I`d coat all my wheels (even have the coating just sitting here).
IXLRS- And a Happy New Year to you too
Yeah, I almost always use some product that leaves something behind (either a QD, a Rinseless Wash, or a SprayWax) as a drying aid for everything, and I always give the wheels another once-over after it`s all finished. If nothing else, there`s usually some surface rust on the brake rotors that needs taken care of (even when I use the Hyde`s Serum to minimize it).
Billy Jack- I always wonder whether my wheels get as hot as one might think. Well, yeah...on the cars that I push really hard. But for most people, doing most driving, I wonder...
The Collinite 476S was one of my two fave Wheel LSPs (other being KSG) for a long, long time, but didn`t always last through winter.

Kind of...according to Ron K. (who sure oughta know), it was originally developed specifically as Floyd`s answer to M16. Yeah, it has been used as a Mold Release Wax, but its origins were along the lines of "the black sheep of the family showing them how it`s done". Which I for one like, so maybe that`s why I lean towards that version of the story
M16was another wax with Mold Release in it`s background even though the "crayon smell" makes some folks think "paraffin and low heat-tolerance". Nowadays, Meguiar`s has a dedicated Mold Release Wax that`s apparently awful for use as a LSP, but back 60-some years ago M16 was the [stuff] for all sorts of applications.
