Looks like they give an Autopia discount. Just put "Autopia" in the discount field, looks to give 10%.

yeah, the 5 gallon quanity is a carton with spigot.



I'm gonna stick with the gallon jug for today.

Yeah, I agree. #34 is still my go-to product for wiping down panels between polishing steps.

I got to this thread kinda late but, Accumulator, as someone whose opinion I always put a lot of stock in, I'm just curious to know if you've actually *tried* FK1 425 and compared it to #34?

Welp I ordered last week about $70 worth, oh well $7 aint gonna break me
 
Doc Holiday- Heh heh, I missed out on using that discount code too. Maybe I oughta just try entering "Autopia" on every order from every vendor and see if I get 10% off :D
 
It gives your car a great shine! It also makes it so easy to remove the wax. It will look like you have just waxed and 425 car at one time. That's what you did! Try it!!

What does this do that is any different than applying via normal method.

Also, I'd suspect that it might better facilitate layering of some LSPs as the FK 425's lubrication might lessen the compromising of existing LSP. I'd probably chill the FK 425 in the fridge to (presumably) lessen the potential for solvent-effect too; Nick T. always claimed that this was beneficial and I've taken his word for it and chilled my "spit".



Using certain QDs in this manner (haven't tried it with FK 425 yet) has sometimes resulted in more spherical beads than I'd otherwise get, which I take as a sign that something beneficial is going on.
 
I have chilled it but my wife does not like the idea of car products in the fridg. Chilled water works good but 425 helps eliminate the static. Pollen is falling here, so that is a added benefit. You can do 1/2 hood and side panel then buff it off like a piece of cake. I can wax my car by hand in 20 minutes even with all the nooks and cranny's it has.

I think that goes for the FK FX100 on Carnauba as well. Fk claims you can seal each application of Nuba to lock it in. Sounds cool in theory. Having only used Klasse SG in the past sealing applications of Nuba is a new method to me.
 
RacingBeat- Yeah, that's a new one for me too, but isn't that sorta what we're doing with the FK 425, at least to some extent?

Well what upsets me more is I ordered a gallon and I got a 31oz bottle. :grrr :grrr



Now I have to try and find a phone # and wait again.

Project Time!



My mission:

as many S100/FX100 layers my baby can handle. Too bad I haven't seen the car in two weeks. :bawling:
