I just found this thread and figured I'd offer my 2 cents worth about Klasse SG vs FK1000P (and a little more).
Looks: KSG is like glass on the paint, the best gloss and great reflections all though it doesn't give the glow of a wax. I also find KSG doesn't bead and sheet as well as FK1000P. FK1000P, on the other hand, looks like an extra layer of clear coat and has the warm glow of a wax and IMHO it's kinda the best of both worlds. Also, the beading and sheeting is phenomenal with FK1000-P!
Ease of use: KSG and FK1000P are about part IMHO the only reason I gave FK1000P an edge is because you don't need to layer it to get the effect you're looking for. I've applied both stupid thick and KSG just buffs off fairly easily 12-24hours after letting it sit. KSG is very hard to remove while it's still curing 1-6 hours after application (only if you put it really thick). FK1000P came off with ease even when applied thickly, but I did miss some high spots that turned white and went un-noticed until my next weekly wash. I found these high spots looked like white scratches and were slightly harder to remove than old KSG high spots as the sealant/wax is fully cured (kinda implies better durability).
Cost: both products are fairly priced and available at most detailing stores (FK1000P was slightly harder to find in Canada than KSG, but that might just be a loyalest thing).
Feel: Both products are very slick at first (slight edge to KSG) but over time they both fall off and feel less slick as the weeks/months go on.
Maintenance/Self-Cleaning: KSG and FK1000P both have low maintenance once applied as desired and both have self-cleaning ability to some degree, but FK1000P definitely has an edge over KSG as the weeks/months go on.
In all honesty, I've used Klasse for almost 3 years on my Jeep SRT8 and was satisfied expect for the winter durability on my lower rocker panels and trunk hatch. I also fell for the "hype" of other products and started my self down a path of other LSP's. I had lots of doubts about the unassuming FK1000-P but Accumulator was nice enough to answer all my questions and I figured it's worth a shot.
Since applying the FK1000-P I notice my car stays cleaner longer, has the look I was going for, and gets more compliments at the track and at car meets. Last "Mopar Monday" I had an old timer (no offence) check out my Jeep in detail of 30 mins if not more and then walk over to me and ask "how did you do that?". I asked "what?" and he said "make a silver car so shiny (reflective)". I went on to explain that I had spent about 100 hours compounding the orange peel out/off using denim pads and used FK1000-P as my LSP. He had a full restored 1966 Plymouth Belvedere HP2 HEMI. I easily spent 30mins admiring it in detail while we chatted on.
