Ok, so I tried some FK products on my car, here is the process used:
Washed car with foam gun using Smart Car Wash.
While the car was still wet, applied #1119 Paint Decontamination Step #1.
I am on top of my car, always trying different items, etc., so I new I would not
need #883 Paint Sub-Surface Decontamination Step #2.
So I proceeded to step #3 which was basically to rinse and then wash with a PH neutral car shampoo, so again, I used Smart Car Wash via a Foam Gun.
After this, I pulled out the Electric Leaf blower I recently found on sale at HD for 14.99, and blew the water out of the crevices, badges, and panels.
The panels were sqeeky clean, and I did not feel the need for claying the car, which is what the Decon system is supposed to replace.
After masking off the black trim and badges, I was ready to either try 330, a micro abrasive light compound for some light swirls or try the #215 Ultra All-in-One Cleaner Polish Sealant, which is what I opted for.
I used this with a Propel Green Polishing Pad, and my Metabo Rotary set on Level 2.5-3
This product has a adequate working time with the rotary. Similar to Chemical Guys Polish 1,2, or 3, or PB 1,2, 2.5,3. But no way as long as OCP w/ a rotary.
It applied easy, and came off easy except for where I went a little thick. I used some QD to assist in removal, but really that was only needed in a couple of areas in the lower rocker panel area...my error in over applying. Oh yeah, no dusting issues when removing either.
After applying and removing #215, I used #2180 Ultra Poly Wipe Sealant, step #4 in the Decontamination System. I applied very thin using a Propel blue pad, and I let the product sit on the car for 30 minutes, then removed. It came off easily, no dusting.
It immediately added a glow and wetness to the car, but I really could not tell any other nuances since I was now working in garage.
After this, I added two coats of Pink Wax by hand. Stuff smells like chemical, but applies and removes easily. This really added some gloss. I debated if I should use #425 Ultra Slick Poly Wipe Spray Detailer now or wait till the next day, which is what I did.
So, prior to taking these picks, I applied #425 to the car. As luck would have it, after one of the first pics, hazy/clouds move in, taking away the sun.
But I will say, the car has never been this slick and shiney, and the depth and clarity is right there with the better products I have tried.
So, here you go....comments and advice are welcome.
