If you were going to purchase some new sealant from

these listed above. What product and why would you prefer

this to the other. I will be using a PC to do the work. I prefer

a wet look and something that is user friendly. I would be

intrested in your prep aswell. The paint on the car is 5 yrs

old ( orig paint ) and in great shape. No swirls to remove.
 
#2180

OMG!! That mazda is amazing! :drool: what was the process on that one? Is there anything over the 2180 or did you use that as your LSP?



I'm really starting to fall in love with the FK line.
 
OMG that Merc is NOICE! :drool:



I just bought a couple of items from FK, FX100(bannana) and #425(bubble gum) and despite their generic looking packaging they are two of the best products I've tried in some time. They go on so quickly and easily I think it will encourage more use!



As I was detailing in the garage, a fly in my parking garage died and it slid right off the hood! honestly!!:D



but that Mazda looks like something George Lucas would have wipped up. Is it real or is it an illusion? Very nice..(needs red caliper painting it a v6!)



ScottWax, what tire dressing did you use on the Merc? What kind of camera are you using?
 
Not the products you stated but one thing about black harleys that are ridden much you will need a good polish. This owner of this 83 Shovelhead has that common tendency to rub his jeans against tank. This particular bike was PO85Rd, FMJ and then wiped down with Werkstatt AG.

Chrome was Prime and AJ. Pipes are being replaced. Sun was behind clouds but thats all I had to work with.

the pics are also subjective to your surroundings (reflection bounceback), lighting, etc.

Both vehicles look as if they have been dipped in oil, they are so wet. I have used #2180, will try the Jett, this summer.
 
Regarding the 2180, what is the difference between the 216, 218 and 2180? I've been recommended the 216 as a coat underneath PW; what do you guys think? My red car is only a year old.
 
Severly doubt that it's Klasse + water

It's thicker than SG , smells different and delivers far superior results

SG doesn't provide the slickness that AJ does, actually I find it doesn't make paint slick at all



I tried applying AJ on a small section of rear bumper of my car with edge white pad at 700-1000 rpm

Got a superb finish

216 is like aio

218 has cleansers with the sealant

2180 is a pure sealant.



FK1 has a forum as well. Join us.



I am telling you, to try 216 and pink wax on your red paint after some polishing work.



you will love the result!!

Isn't AJ just mainly Klasse + Water? 2180 is pretty versatile, not my fav but it would be a good choice.

Huh? Exactly where would you have heard this? It isn't even remotely accurate. If anything, AJ is a bit thicker than SG. Looks noticably better too.

Believe me, I was quite impressed with the massive improvement in the new MLs, definitely far superior to the older ones. :)

Armor All, like usual.



I have a Nikon N60 35mm camera and use Kodak's High Definition 400 ASA film. I have it processed at Walgreens and put on a picture CD.

Eddie, (just to add tdekany's swift answer...)



The 216 is a light filling carnauba enhanced polymer blend. Produces a very nice, reflective, but warm carnauba shine.

The 218 is a warm, carnauba-like sealant too, but it has cleaners. 2180 is a sealant with no cleaners. It is bright, reflective. Any of these is excellent to use with the PW. I'd follow tdekany's instructions, but I'd use FX-100 over the PW as well.
