I got a chance to try my 425 this weekend and I have to say, I wasn't that impressed. From the crazy good reviews Trance has been giving and some others as well I really had my hopes up.
This stuff streaked like crazy for me, even in the shade. It was so much harder to use than the Adam's. I typically spray a whole panel and sometimes two with the Adam's and then remove it. If adam's dries up a little, it doesn't really cause a headache, but if the FK1 dries up, it is impossible to remove with a mf cloth, you have to reapply the liquid.
The smell of it is alright, but not as good as Adam's either
Once I finally got the hang of the stuff and realized I had to do very small sections at once and really buff it out good, it was alright, but still not my favorite. I did like that I could spray the stuff from about 6 feet away if I wanted and still get a good spreadop:
I was also waiting to see how well it protected against dust with it's antistatic formula, but again, I was very disappointed. I used the stuff in the morning - about 10am, and by about 4pm my car was COATED with dust. I think some of the dust could have been some pollen, but I was hoping it would repel it anyway or something lol, guess not. So, I didn't notice any increased dust repellent at any rate. Not that any QD I have used would have prevented this.
All in all, I'll finish this bottle, but something seems off with it. It is almost like it is sugary or sticky or syrupy or something, which makes it hard to remove and causes streaks... obviously it isn't sugary or anything, it just seems like it. Kinda like detailing the car with soda but I guess that doesn't make sense. I have only used it once so it is possible it will grow on me, but my intial impression tells me I'll be buying the 5gal of Adam's :rockon:
