Fk1000p

Bence must be busy with the Auto show season?



Today I actally used #1000 for the first time on an Aston Martin that I take care of.



process:



light spot claying

Ez Creme Glaze

#1000

OCW to remove #1000



As always, Iapplied #1000 with the udm and a black 3m pad and used speed 6 to make sure the wax was worked on.



Did the interior and once I was done, I removed the wax. EASY!!!!!



It definately made the yellow paint look lighter but at the same time it was still glossy.



What an excellent product.

IIRC you've posted photos of that car?

Heh heh, yeah...I too thought he was conspicuous by his absence on this thread

Do you spritz the pad with FK425 or something?

I've been using it since 2005 and really like it on Japanese metallics. For some reason, I don't like it quite as much on German paints though.

Eh...that's probably just eye-of-the-beholder stuff but I know exactly what you mean. Sorta like the way I like KSG on my silver Mazda but hate it on my silver Audis. Ask ten people and you'd probably get eleven different opinions.

I actually do. I have S%G right now or sometimes just plain water. Sometimes nothing. Yesterday I didn't but when you use speed 6, the wax will spread.



I love #1000 on german silver.

I have in the past many times but the pictures were always taken inside a garage.

Looks like I have to buy a jar of this wax...

I think that Bence is Mr. FK. Get his thoughts on it and also Pink Wax

Hehe, i still think your missing a trick if you want a thin well applied layer and your not using the round, red CSS pads by hand! :cooleek:

Ah, good to know both of those :xyxthumbs

I use these foam pads and trim the seam extremely close. 1000P has a noticeable layering effect. I don't find one layer to be remarkably durable. But after 3-4 layers a week or two apart, the durability is quite good.



If you apply THIN coats, 1000P generally buffs off very easy.

Yeah, same here. I seem to be able to layer it without waiting all that long, but I'll agree that longer is better.

Hey, why don't you FK1 Wax Fanatics post a review: Autopia Review: Car Wax: FK1 Hi Temp Synthetic Paste Wax

I had no trouble working with 1000P applied to clean paint. Thin layers, let dry, not hard to remove, and looks fabulous. Topped with DWG...fabulous +. And for less than $20!

Thin layers are really a key to this product IMO. Every layer add's what looks like a layer of clear coat. I know it was not be quite as durable , but sure wish the made 1000p and PW in a liquid option . easier to apply thin and easier to faster and multiple layers .



FK makes good products , one of my favorites .

Exactly right.



This product is truly a great value. I feel like my tin will last for years, even using multiple coats on several cars.

Rob - did you put it on the Lotus?

No, not on the Lotus. I'm happy with Jeff's Werkstatt on that car. It's not in the elements much at all, so gloss is more important than protection. Werkstatt looks fantastic on the Silver paint of the Lotus.



We bought a new car a few months ago though: a silver Mazda 5. So I have used the 1000p on 4 different cars now (three of ours...including the one we sold, and a friends 57 Ford pickup seen here: http://www.autopia.org/forum/click-brag/107420-1957-ford-f-100-a.html)
