Finish Kare 425 rockz!!

[Maddriver]

I've tested FK1 products and will say that their 425 detailer spray is very nice. However, their other products like Pink wax and 2180 are just oil and wax set in a heavy solvent base. It smells just like paint thinner! I realize that every wax/sealant needs a solvent of some sort but to use a flamable strong solvent like this is just cutting corners. I use gloves when I use these which isn't that often because there are better products out there. I will say that if you don't mind having that kerosene smell on your hands that fk1 offers good durabilty. No where near klasse or Zaino, but better than any OTC stuff.

I know who you are

you sure it is a kerosene smell rather than a kiwi smell?anyway as long it gives me what I want..who cares?

 

zaino,nope,not interested to try it at all

It smells just like kiwi, if you juice the kiwi and filter it so there's no kiwi scent to it, and you add a bunch of paint thinner or kerosene. I'm talking about the 2180 and Pink wax dude, and if you think they smell like kiwi I would go to a nose doctor. As for who cares if you rub paint thinner all over your hands all I can say is I surely don't! But for people who care about rubbing a strong solvent on your hands, find a different product line because fk1 isn't for you. It is not a pleasure to use like many of the other stuff out there, but yes if you get past that then it will give you a nice finish.

hi sammy...i think the kiwi maddriver is referring to here is Kiwi (Brand) Shoe Polish - We use it during our military days to polish our boots. not the Kiwi fruit. Nose doctor wont be needed

 

I honestly dun think any detailing enthusiasts will end up rubbing wax all over their hands. Stained maybe. Indeed FK will provide a nice finish. so does klasse and zaino. All are great products to start with...used and proven. and i believe many will agree none is too far from the other.

 

Klasse is good for shine - but it doesnt bring out dark colours.

Zaino gives a wet look - but protection is not excellent.

FK1 does indeed finish off well with depth.

 

Afterall...it's consumer choice

The jeff what product also got one funny smell

 

then hor sammyboy is your cousin?

[Sammy]

Awe, kiwi shoe polish no problem bro. As for Zaino not giving good protection, maybe you don't get the good Zaino over there or something because in the US there is nothing that protects like Zaino. Every detailing forum over here like http://www.detailersclub.com/ or http://www.autopia.org/ that has thousands of people who use every product made chose zaino tops for protection. I say no big deal use what you want, when I was a pro I would use the cheapest stuff I could find because it was all about the bottom line. But now on my own cars nothing touches them except klasse and Zaino. Anyhow, you guys are all soldiers? Do they make everyone join for a couple years or voulunter? I am dating a young woman from singapor and that's how I found out about this forum. Just curious about her country and I'm a freak about auto's.

Sammy, from the way you type, maybe I ask whether are you a pull start or push start? Or a flat face or a red neck?
