I love that FK1 ships out free samples with

1016 - THIS PRODUCT HAS LIGHT CRUSTING ISSUES even at 25% less solution. but sweet none the less. imho.



Directions generaly recommend using twice as much product than necessary, sell more product. I thought that was a given. Under that theory, I actually used 50% too much, which seems the case.



Good paint conditioning, more than likely that the NXT more closely matches my paint, so the crusting is less obvious.



I'm a less is more guy, sorry.



and yes, I rinsed thoroughly.



The day after 1016 and 425.



425:



good: low effort shine and slickness from 425, anti-static, very good

brought to light the defect areas upon drying, which is cool, because it gives great feedback on what the vehicle need, polish-wise, in a time apt situation,

able to roll or polish in more 425 ( or XYZ ) to conceal, possibly the 1016 polymers forming around gaps in the clear? Once a panel has been hit twice with 425 and sits overnight the results are pretty darn satisfying. very much so. Although maybe the 'hit twice' thing is just circumstance.



munched away at water spots nicely.



bad: since cleaning power low, I had to double back with more 425 remove streaks,

three times in key areas, but results, worth the effort and fairly painless.



1016: crusty, the day after



left minute amount of carmel spray wax residue in the nooks and crannies, I used

less than recommended mixture.



glad I went with a little less product. Will reduce it even further.



(( sorry no pics, but this is as good as I've ever seen my car look ))

Everyone loves a clean car, but noone ever wants to admit they've done anything

beyond taking it to the car wash twice a month. I mean my neighbors wise.



I saw my next door neighbor gasp as she walk by when I had the blower out.

Then kinda sigh in relief when she walk by again and I had switched to a mf.

I cleaned the blower first.

This thread has a bug. DuMouixe wrote this after my #15 post. Then came runnerbl, then the others. The original text said 1016 has CRUSTING ISSUE. This last post is the 3rd version, but I cannot see any signs of editing.



:nixweiss
 
Now WHERE DID DuMouixe's post go???????????????????????????



4th version, with complete deletion?



DuMouixe, please elaborate more on that 'crusting issue' you've had with the 1016. You in fact described how you used it and why you used 25% less from it. But your post is gone.



Anyone?

good: put a nice sheeting action together across panel. seemed to encapsulated dirt, dirtier areas, kind of grimed out, but wiped off smoothly.



bad: left minute amount of carmel spray wax residue in the nooks and crannies noticed the next day. I will either use less 1016 next time or free flow the hose on those areas.

This is the post I'm talking about but this is still the 3rd version. Do you delete it then modify and paste it in again??? There is an EDIT button somewhere in the weeds...
 
I'm sorry, I'm the madd post editor.



I re-read my post about the crusting and it sounded too harsh, and not fair to 1016.



Yes, it crusted a little, but I can't say for sure that it wasn't my fault for not free flowing

a rinse at the end.



Honestly, I never free flow a rinse, just a fine mist.



And I honestly believe the mixture ratio of these instruction is too high and let the foamer do the work.
 
yes, I am a bad boy.



If I'm the last poster, and I see a change, and don't think anyone is on, or has read it yet, human nature will cause me to delete and re-submit.



okay, what's the punishment, I confess.
 
DuMouixe said:

That' why I recommended the new driving style. Why are you thinking that much (on behalf of the manufacturer)? Just do what they say, then rinse it properly and it will work as intended. No crust, just results.
 
re: post 24, I don't even have a foamer yet. Just a garden fan sprayer, but it makes suds.



sorry bence, not trying to drive you crazy, honest.



1016 is bitchin' as they say. I'd venture to think griots car wash or ps21 would be just as good.



has anyone tried the menzerna's auto shampoo? I have some of that I've been waiting to try also?

OMG



:nervous: :scared: :think: :shocked :nono
 
okay, no more funny business outta me.



I'll meter my shampoo, leave my typo's up and buy a $.49 hose attachment to free flow.



I'm hoping the 425 helps with brake dust. Mazda OEM's pads are awfully dusty.
 
I'm hoping to get my order of fx-100, pink wax, 425, and a sample of 1000P this week. Their store/distributing center is about 20 minutes away(based on their phone #) but it's too bad I can't pick up my stuff.
 
Bence said:
I have had three samples in my last order. :bigups



Spring cleanup will be: 360/330/17 + 218/1000P×2/FX-100×2.





Curious why you use 218 and FX-100x2...Aren't both sealants?
 
Yes and no. 218 is a conditioning sealant, which cleans a bit. This layer is the base and looks excellent. This time I want a bit warmer look than the 2180, that's why I decided to go this route. The 1000P layers are there for protection and durability, while the FX-100 is a wonderful appearance and slickness enhancer. You have to try it to believe it.

So FX-100 is an appearance enhancer...Isn't this what 425 is? or does FX-100 do the same as 425 but add sealant as well?



Thanks for your replies...I have other products I would like to trade to try some of the FK series...Don't need to keep buying everything....I have half a gallon both PB S&G and S&W. Brand new jar of pinnacle souveran, PB Nattys Blue...Optimum Compound and Polish...New PB QD+, Meg's DACP....See why I need to get rid of stuff... :rolleyes:
