What is FK425 exactly?

"Finish Kare 425 Extra Slick Final Body Shine is a quick detailer with a sophisticated anti-static, anti-corrosive formula. Spray it on and buff your vehicle to an instant glossy finish that stays cleaner longer. Cut down on time spent washing and waxing. Spend more time in the driver's seat with Finish Kare 425 Extra Slick Final Body Shine."

Hm okay. Will it be okay to use over and between coats of klasse sealant?

The video was impressive as I was vulnerable. I hadn't petted and rubbed on the car in almost a day and I was having withdrawals.

Live and learn. lol

Of course. It's just a quick detailer. Use it after a wash to add some 'pop'.

Okay so it won't leave behind a residue or anything?

I mean, I layer on some Klasse after every wash but I'm thinking of using the FK between washes.

So basically, my question is, I can do: Klasse, FK, Klasse, FK and the Klasse will still bond regardless of the FK right?

I'm going to help you out with your whole Klasse situation.

Klasse is nothing special, it's a regular every day, run of the mill sealaent. It can have a quick detailer sprayed over top of it, just like all of the other millions of sealants out there.

All quick detailers leave behind a residue, that is what adds the extra pop/shine/slickness. Durability is very poor on a QD, theyre just meant as quick fixes. As soon as you wash the car next or 4-5 days, the QD is gone, and you can go on and re-apply another application of Klasse.

One thing to note about Klasse though is, it does contain cleaners in it, so you're not gaining anything about adding another coat to it weekly or so. It's a synthetic, it should last you 2-3 months unless you get some harsh weather.

I thought klasse was supposed to be some acrylic thing different from other sealants? They claim you can layer it. Shrug?

A lot of companies, like Zaino, claim you can layer their products and they make tons of money off of it. You layer it, you go through more, you buy more! The only reason to do two coats is to ensure even coverage and even than it's not really needed if you applied correctly.

Interesting but that makes sense. I may have to try this aquartz stuff.

What's the deal with Aquartz vs Cquartz? I read that they were the same company but then split up? Any difference in the product?

Also, suppose you have a black car and it has a fair amount of swirls, like mine. Is it worth sealing the paint with nanostuffs without correcting the paint? I would just claybar it and wash it and maybe use some polish by hand over it but nothing intense.

My biggest concern is protection for the winter salts. My second concern is keeping it shiny :beerdrink:

Not at all. With the nano technology sealants you would definitely want to correct it first otherwise you're just locking in those swirls. That's my opinion anyways.

Right but suppose I had no plans anytime soon to get rid of the swirls. It wouldn't prevent me from just removing them later right? My problem with swirl removal is I don't have the tools. I don't know wtf I'm doing either and my parking garage is not well lit so my car looks amazing no matter what. I also have no electrical sockets nearby and it's just all crap. I'm thinking of taking it and paying someone to do it for me but I don't know where to go.

If you apply a nano coating to a swirl filled car, then decide later to remove the swirls, you'd also remove the nano coating. Meaning you would need to reapply. If you read about any of the coatings they all highly suggest only applying to clean surfaces.

Gotcha! Well crap then. I'll just stick to Klasse. It seems to last a really long time on my car but that's probably because my car is parked indoors 95% of the time.

A car's appearance is 95% how it is finished and polish, only 5% goes to it's top layer / protection.
