I was initially more interested in 1016 as it stated that is add/provides a polymer protection when washing your car. I assume that is similar to the 1Z Perls. However, I just thought that since I when I wash the car, I am going to follow up with a minimum of QD or spray sealant or otherwise I will follow-up with AIO+LSP, that why use a shampoo that contains something that I will be applying post drying. Yes, it might save the QD step, but I figured that I would apply QD or spray sealant after every wash anyways, just in case I got sloppy in the drying process. To that end, I figured that any combination function product, in this case wash and wax, would sacrifice some level of function that a pure specialized product has. In looking at the rating scales on the FK1 website, you lose a lot of cleaning power and some degreasing. I am not saying that that's a deal breaker, but I am leaning towards a pure shampoo, like 118 or Poorboy's SS&S for that reason. I am looking to clean the car safely and will apply a QD or sealant afterwards.
I dunno if applying polymers to the front windshield will have any sheeting effects similar to RainX. But to that end, I do like RainX when it's first applied, but after a while, I notice that it streaks and adds glare to the windshield at night when I used it on my old car. I assume that's why they recommend against using AIO on the front windshield. I figured that it that's the case, I would stay away from a wash with a polymer sealant just to be sure. But, I already do have some 1Z Perls, but haven't used it yet. So we'll see.
