    Question What is a good substitute for Finish Kare 425 to use over their Hi-Temp paste wax?

    Hello. It seems the Finish Kare Extra Slick Final Body Shine #425 is not easy to come by these days. Can anyone recommend a good replacement that I can use post-wash on a car that has Finish Kare Hi-Temp Paste Wax (FK1000p) applied to it? I'm looking for something that may help extend the life of the FK1000p. I really liked how slick and shiny the 425 made the car, too.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    I tried Bead Maker, it has been good so far.

    I either use ECHo2 but lately I finish from paint to windows with Aqua wax. After I'm done in the shade and take it in the sun, I always bring a bottle and a few rags to do a once over. I feel in is the best of the best for my purposes.

    I've used Aquawax, UWW, Megs UQW, AMMO NYC Spit. All work great over FK1000p. What didn't work was the ceramic detailers I've tried,(Sonax, DP, Griots' Ceramic Speed Shine). All were grabby. I haven't tried my Armour Detail Amplify yet.

    Update: tried the Amplify, plays well with the FK1000p. The beading is wild and pretty much self-cleaning. We had a heavy rainstorm on my already dirty car. I was going to do a rinseless wash, but I saw no need for it. After driving for 40 minutes in suburban traffic, it was clean.
