Finish Kare #425 Review

What works very well for me is to use a 4oz. pump spray bottle. It puts out a very fine mist which covers the area very well and avoids using too much product. You would be surprised how little product is required to do the job.
 
Lol! I just ordered 128oz. of this stuff!

Since winters are here I guess it wont streak now! :D
 
I agree with the fine mist bottle. Works perfectly. Takes very little and each tiny particles of 425 rip through every bead of water they touch.
 
I just noticed I put some FK425 on my wife's car, it currently has no protection. It rained, and with only 425 it beads very well when before it was just sheeting.

Honestly I didn't notice any difference at all on the dust collection. I bought it specifically for that reason. I ended up doing a 50/50 on my hood with FK425/Crystal Mist to check for any difference in dust collection and after the car sat overnight I compared the sides....there was no "dust line". They had both collected the same amounts of dust. The way I read it originally I was thinking it was more of a dust repellent, and it's really just anti static properties to keep the car from attracting more dust. Similar to ESD spray for electronic tools and benches it just neutralizes static charge. So if your cars are collecting a lot of dust simply because there is a lot of dust in the air, I doubt you'll notice a difference. However, if they are collecting more dust than they otherwise would because they are charged with static then it may in fact reduce the amount you collect.

I still think it looks pretty good while not being terribly expensive.

Very well said. I agree!

I agree as well regarding FK 425 NOT being a dust REPELLENT as nothing can do that. Is just has anti static properties as he stated, so it won't attract dust itself.

Rob, for me it removed the static charge from Fuzion. It was attracting dust. I think the drastic difference in our climates plays a major role in this.

Perhaps. All I know is that Fuzion did not create any static charge at all for me, and didn't attract dust, even immediately after wiping (which is the most likely time that you will have a static build up).
 
Is it safe for trim? Let us say I get some on the trim by accident while spraying the painted parts of the vehicle, will this be fine? I have a CRV and as you all know its full of plastic black trim all over its lower body panels.

Thanks!

It looks great on trim and windshield cowls, etc. No decent detail spray will fowl trim.
 
I use 425 regularly. As others have mentioned, I have sometimes experienced streaking/hazing when applying to a warm hood. I have also experienced hazing after the car (a black car!) had been sitting out in the sun for a while. Perhaps I used too much product. I don't know. An ONR rinse cured the problem. I still like 425 very much, but it's not problem-free, at least with black cars.

I havent tried any QD that is trouble free on a hot surface.
 
I've heard that Gloss-IT QD spray doesn't streak even on warm paint!(thats what they claim anyway!)

I might get some to try it on!

@Mods - if the link is a violation of rules, please remove it!
Thanks

Just to clarify: the hazing occurred the day after I applied the 425 after being exposed to several hours of sun.
