wow used some[FK1 2180 SEALER] on my wifes DSG focus toniteover some AIO. we will see how long it lasts but i put on with pc and a finishing pad then wiped off with micro fiber towel. came off real nice and really made the metalic pop! no pics cause it got dark but i was impressed. real nice product for 17 bucks,give it a try.
 
I used it on my dad's truck and liked it. It's not a super slippery sealant like Wolfgang, it's more like Meguiar's #21 on/off application. But it's antistatic properties make it a good choice for a work truck - it does not attract dust as much now. Just my $0.02
 
I've got some 425 and 108 on the way as we speak. I can't wait to test them out. Driving a convertible my whole car gets dusty about 1 day after I clean it. If this stuff cuts down on it at all it is worth any price.

I like the 2180 as well. I got the sample pack and have used it on a few details.

425's still a favorite of mine. I also like the FX-100.
 
Watching the other boards, I cannot decifer fact from fiction. To many Zaino guys worried FK is moving in on the durability factor. I really want to know what is 2180's true durability with or without 425. After all I would not use either of the Pro's (Z2, Z5) without Z8. So apples to apples, tell me like it is !!!
 
killer i will keep track of durability, i applied it sunday sept 17th. my wifes car is a daily driver garaged at night, so say that would be a fair test to see how long it lasts. would you rather i qd with 425 or not for the test?
 
personally I rather like 425 and would use it weekly after each wash. But thats me ....
 
FK 2180 looks like a good sealent from what I've read as well on other boards, might have to pick some up. Any pics? Wonder how it compares to say EX-P, WG etc.

Have been using finishkare #216 High Gloss sealant glaze followed with there pink wax #2685 on my vette and my better half's AcuraTL. Durability seems to be acceptable since the Acura is a daily driver. Depth and shine is good. Also, use #425 polywipe spray as needed. Very pleased. Just my $.02:cheers: :applause:

thanks........:)
 
Have used 2180 on the daughter's Ford Focus. It was at school for a month with out any thing done to it at all. When she returned home the protection was gone. This was in the Texas sun so it was a hard test. I am not a fan of a product that loses protection in a month.

Comparing it to Zaino sealant is not comparing apples to apples IMO. Slickness was not the same. Durability was not even close in my testing. Did not experience the anti static properties that have been claimed by others.

It does go on and off very easy. Even if it is put on thick. That is the only plus that I found with 2180. Been there....will not go there again.

Just my $.02 Have used FK1 products and I am very pleased. Durability seems to be adequate. i have used #216 and #280. do not see much of a difference. Very easy to use. I have used 216 and #280 on two different autos. there #425 poly wipe is one of the best. It is ultra slick. used it in my BLK vette. There #1000 Hi temp paste wax is good, again easy on and off. durability is acceptable.
:awesome: :cheers:

I've used the 425 by far my favorite QD spray!
