I had a chance to try 1000p over the holidays. I applied via PC to a Honda Odyssey. It speaks to the thickness of he wax, the PC didn`t spread it as thin as I would hope. Because of a slightly thicker application, the wax took a bit longer to haze. Removal wasn`t difficult, considering, and the end shine was amazing. The van is heading back to the bay area where it sits outside all the time. This is evident by the fact it was covered with tree sap. I am hoping for good longevity to help protect the paint from the owners. I was pleased with the ease of use and end appearance. I have a dark Tacoma coming up in the next week which sits in the AZ sun. I plan on using 1000p again based on the durability qualities.
Thanks for the write up Todd and the idea for a good durable wax.
I hear voices in my mind and you’re worried that you’re the freak.
Hi Todd,
I`ve always wondered about this wax.
It appears to be a semi hard paste but lays down nicely on the blue hood. I wonder what makes Finish Kare FK1000P a Hi-Temp Paste Wax when compared to other waxes?
I`ve often said most detailing products don`t have to break the back to be good.
Gorgeous results and a well written review!!

I`m not sure how small you`re looking for but Lake Country makes some 4" pads that work quite well for those smaller areas.
CCS 4 Inch Spot Buffs Foam Pads
Lake Country Hydro-Tech 4 x 1.25 Inch Foam Pads

I`m glasd you cleared that up Todd from your initial post you said it looks like an extra coat of clear and I instantly thought of a candy/plastic look. Although some do like that look and the purist seem to like the nuba look more. Price and durabilty wise it looks to be right inline with 845.
Is FK1000P similar to Collinite 476?
Makes you wonder why the pad manufactures only make certain colors in certain sizes. Seems the smaller pads are falling behind.
Definitely going to put this on after using Dura 105; I`ll try using a DA with a 4 inch pad as well. Thanks for the tip on how much to use!

Yes I applied it to a friend`s car with a four inch red Spot CCS Ultra Soft Red Waxing Pad. It was very easy to get a thin even coat and, at least IME, made the removal a little easier as well (since the coat was so even).
For me personally, this is how I will apply FK1000P in the future.
Great, just bought the 5.5" hydro tech crimson pads which I`m planning on using for this product. BTW, how did u scoop the sealant out of the tin and onto the buffing pad? Was thinking of a butter knife or plastic razor to skim it out of the can and schmear it onto the pad - do u think that will work? Another thought is to use a foam pad and apply a small section by hand to the paint, then take the DA & spread it out nice and thin over the surface. Not sure the best way to go - your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
