I have a sample bottle of an FK product. Says 900 series. I can't locate the product on their site. Looks kind of turquoise.



Can anyone tell me what it is?



Thanks!

Look on the back of the label, at the top. It should give a description. I'm looking at a sample bottle here, and it says, in small print "217 FX-Quick-polish-glaze-sealant.



They have a bunch of products that fall within the "900 series".
 
It is really watery stuff. Not a particularly strong smell. Has a spray nozzel. Is about the color of the Autopia ? in a circle (icon for this post).
 
I think it can be used as a clay lube, no prob. It has more cleaning ower than 425 according to FK, but I have no personal experience with it. Landcruiser uses it quite extensively and he likes it even more than 425.

Concur with what Bence said. I do tend to use it more than 425 due to it's cleaning properties and I use it as a clay lube as well. I use it for cleaning my wheels of brake dust an awful lot too. One small "correction", I use it more than 425, but IMHO 425 and 146 are the "same" in terms of slickness. I also have to add that Bence has given me invaluable insights in to all of the FK products.



I find the 1000P/Pink Wax combo is especially good with Japanese metallics. And I'm one of those guarding my FX100 too.



HTH
 
Hey Bence, have you reached any conclusions on OID vs FK 425?



I've been playing with OID, and was curious as to how you think they compare (before giving my own opinion ;))
 
I think 425 has still the edge. More definition, and friendlier application. OID can smear over certain pre-existing layers, so I had to stretch its dilution to 1:4 from 1:3. Other than that, it's a very nice and economical QD. But my 425 and even OCW II is slicker...

HA!



See, I should have posted my review first, because now people will think that I am just agreeing with you (which I seem to do a LOT anyway).



I would say in terms of looks (gloss etc), 425 might still have a slight edge. In terms of slickness, 425 also has a slight edge (but more of an edge here than in terms of gloss). OID is very good in both aspects though, and I have no doubt that many people would be extremely happy with OID even if priced identically to 425. Add in the fact that OID is cheaper, it is an excellent choice as a QD.



But I DID notice that I was much more likely to get streaking/smearing with OID. It seemed that you had to be more careful with it, and it needed to be removed immediately and completely, requiring more wiping than the 425.



425 seemed to have just a bit more "clarity" or "sharpness" to it. Hard to explain.



Make no mistake though: I DO like OID. I just like 425 better. :)
