FK Pink Wax = Blingtastic

(1/3) > >>

vRS Carl:
Morning Peeps,

Gave my car a maintenance wash and clean yesterday (5 hours in total but that was due to prepping the glass for some GTechniq goodies which arrived this morning)

I then applied 2 coats of FK Pink wax which were left to cure for 30 mins each time and with a 1hr interval between coats.

All i can say is I am impressed and if i am honest it seems to give a better depth of gloss to it than anything else i've had on it before (Swissvax Shield, Crystal Rock, Best of Show, Gtechniq C2v1, C1.5v1 etc)

It's getting another coat this evening when i get in from work and then i will see how it looks before i decide wether to apply the GTechniq C2v3 that i received this morning.

Some pics, sorry they are crap as i took them with the iPhone. Will do some with the proper camera once i have applied the sealant to the glass when i get home from work later today :smiley:







Comments good, bad, indifferent welcome as always.

Carl  :happy2:

Swissvax is vastly overpriced imo, as there are products as good if to better then itself at a tenth of the price.

nice work there Carl  :happy2:

It's not dusty at all. It is exactly the same as the Swissvax shield i have in terms of how easy it is to use. It goes on and literally just wipes off. No matter how long you leave it for. Longest i have ever left it was overnight and it still came off no problem the next morning.

Regarding prices

Swissvax Crystal Rock - £795 for 200ml
Swissvax Best of Show - £195 for 200ml
Swissvax Shield - £130 for 200ml

FinishKare Pink Wax 2685 - £17.95 for 450ml (so more than double in the tin)

As with anything though it's the preparation that does the most.

Thanks

I agree to a certain extent (especially Crystal Rock as it does not last anywhere near 6 months on a daily driver!  :fighting:) However i think a lot of stuff in the detailing world can be vastly overpriced. But it's what people are prepared to pay. After all there is a fabled Zymol Solaris wax that costs £40,000  :surprised:

However no pro detailer anywhere knows of a car with that wax on it to see it's fabled quality! A lot of stuff is just hype IMHO.


Carl :happy2:

Sound interesting, how come you left it on over night, I always wanted to do that to see how the finish would turn out.

It would defiantly get enough time to cure to the paintwork then  :rolleye:

Did you notice a difference with leaving it on?
