I ordered some of this to see if there was anyway I could reduce the effects my black car and my dad's black Lexus seem to have on attracting dust. I have been using Gl0ss It Gloss Enhancer for a while and love it as an all round QD, but have always heard excellent stuff about FK 425 so I figured why not?
The first thing I noticed was the cool pink color to it, different and certainly looks interesting next to all my other detailing supplies. The biggest issue I had to adjust to was the sprayer. This thing streams out product and makes it extremely easy to overapply. When this occured, I would get some ghosting on my Saab but it did not streak. I would literally use a half dozen drops from one tiny squeeze of the trigger and that is good enough for a whole body panel.
Cleaning ability is negligable, but this is more of a "beauty" QD in my view. It leaves a fantastic finish, one which I prefer over Gloss Enhancer in the looks department. It also provides good beading properties and leaves a nice slick finish.
Finally, onto the principle reason why I bought it; dust. I am happy to say that once I got the amount to apply down, it reduced the amount of dust on the car from a drive I do regularly by about a third. This is an improvement, and while it is not the cure-all solution to dust, merrits consideration because it actually helped.
Pros:
-ease of use
-would not streak
-slickness is great
-looks great
-lovely pink color
-cuts down on dust, awesome!
Cons:
-applicator stinks
-will leave ghosting behind if overapplied, very finicky
Conclusion:
As far as my last step product is concerned (excluding sealants and waxes), this is my number one pick at the moment. Does what it says with a few issues but those are easily overlooked when you adjust your technique and see the results.
