I probably won't use it for a couple more weeks. The weather is kind of nasty right now. For now, my washing regimen consists of spraying off the dirt and such in a coin-op booth, and then using Poor Boys Spray & Wipe afterwards. Works fine for now.
I'll use this stuff once I have nice weather to use it in (I HATE freezing my fingers to wash my car).
dunno what's in there.
but I got the sample of 1016 with my gallon of 425. (( still wanna try the griots )).
seems pretty good.
used about 1 1/2 oz per gallon, I can't follow directions, at any rate.
sprayed it on wet surface, hillbilly garden sprayer method, let it dwell, sprayed it on again, then washed with sheepskin into pool double bucket rinse & final rinse with fine mist with flow
of paint.
noticed a pretty serious sheeting action, or filling action, like a lotion as it crosses the panel. it also seemed to encasulate much of the dirt especially on the second pass with solution after letting it dwell.
I hot air dried 90% (( meaning, you can only do so much with air, plus my neighbors were all taking turns looking at me funny )) and 425/viking x3 to finish.

Why can't you follow directions? Don't you wanna be objective? A good product test is/would be beneficial for all of us. Your methodology show what you think is good (or khm economical) for you.
Next time try to test-drive your car from the trunk, facing rearwards. Just be different.
I have to find out myself how good 1016 is...
1016 - THIS PRODUCT HAS LIGHT CRUSTING ISSUES. but sweet none the less. imho.
even at 25% less solution. (( I will just be adding a single capful into my nxt wash for my next go around ))
So I'm glad I didn't follow the directions. 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 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
glad I went with a little less product.
(( sorry no pics, but this is as good as I've ever seen my car look ))

The samples are kinda like the prize in the bottom of the cereal box, you dont know what you'll get but its going to be good.
I'm turning into a FK addict. Everything I've tried so far is amazing! Soon I'll own the whole product line!
