Thanks that's good to know and I believe that's the first time I've heard that.

No need to be careful around trim with 845, it's what I used on trim for ages before gradually getting away from it.
KAIO + 845 is great on trim/rubber. KAIO + KSG is too but you need to buff it off immediately (which some people do with KSG anyhow). Just do the thin application thing that I harp on anyway and it oughta turn out great. 4
76S can work well for this too, but IMO it's really "!don't try this at home, kids!" because of the potential for issues. And IME when it dies it leaves rubber looking worse than before so I suspect it's not a, uhm..."healthy" thing to do. Not that it actually damaged the material (I know the car's current owner, it's still fine).

Older topic revisited, but I thought I would update.
Since I applied KAIO with 2 coats of FK1000p back in November, I can now say that it no longer offers protection. I did a good hand washing the other day and there is no beading or sheeting.
Because I only had a few hours of warmer weather ( no garage) I took advantage of the time to add a quick coat of 845 which went on surprisingly quite easy considering the temp outside was only 5C.
Hoping this might last a couple months until the odd warmer day shows up.
It may have done better had the weather stayed colder here in Ontario, but it has been unusually warm -4c - 7C quite a few days which brings out sander and salters more.

marinesoup- Huh, I'm a little surprised that the FK1000P died off so completely, but I bet your winter is a lot harsher than ours.

I put a coat of AIO and 2 coats FK1000p on in June and it's still looking and working great. OF course, I live in Los Angeles, so I can count the number of times it's been rained on with one hand, the number of hand washes with two hands. Snow, salt and sleet, nope, just a distant dream (or nightmare).
I did the same with my wife's black Toyota, she has it washed (not touchless) when I can't get to it, and it's still holding up too, even with those rubber bands slapping and rubbing against it in the car wash.

valleyguy1- Now that sounds more like it 
But as you said, no winter to contend with.

What's "winter" ? Is that the latest offering of *white* wax by [name removed, as I don't want to bash]?
Come to think of it...I kind of like "winter" as a name for a white wax!
