FK1000P On My Metallic Silver C6 z06

[WRAPT C5Z06]

It was recommended to try FK1000P on light metallics, so I did and I'm very pleased with the result. You can see the hood looks very glossy and deep. There is a 250 watt halogen beaming down on the car. I polished a few moths back, so all I did this time around was a valuguard neutralizer wash(strips old wax), 91% IPA wipedown, then apply FK1000P. FYI, crappy iphone resolution.

Wow that's great! I have another option to use on my silver car. Have you tried Meguiar's NXT 2.0 yet? I like how glossy and slick the finish is when the wax is applied.

You keep that car in beautiful shape!

Thanks!

Never tried NXT 2.0, I read the durability isn't that great. FK1000P is supposed to have exceptional durability.

You keep that car in beautiful shape!

Thanks a bunch! I try!

very nice. i too love fk1000p on my light silver metallic. really makes me want to apply it over and over and over lol.

how was applying it for you?

i found using 2 seperate applicators helps alot being they try to dry out so fast and not spread the product thoroughly and in an even coat.

btw, nxt2.0 sure does give a slick finish, but after the 1st wash that goes away quite fast. durability sure lacks also. it does indeed give that "candy shell" appearance but lacks in the "glow/pop" department.

fk1000p gives the best of both worlds, gloss and glow.

as for the dryer in the picture, i'd move it outside i'm sure your wife is careful but in the pics it sure looks like one slip and the door will be sitting on your front clip then again, i'm sure you have that area covered.

Thanks, and I agree! lol

I went through 2 yellow foam applicators on the car. Not sure the foam gave it the most even application, so I ended up putting it on thicker than I wanted to because it's hard to see what areas you've covered on silver. As a result, it was fairly hard to remove. I think using MF applicator would help with a more even application, therefore applying it thinner, and as a result being easier to remove. Once I get the hang of it, it'll be a breeze. Most paste waxes/sealants are not as user friendly as pinnacle sig series II. It glides on and you can put it on ultra thick and it's still easy to remove.

I'm not married(I'm 32) and the GF doesn't live with me, so I have it under control. Thanks for looking out, though.

Thats why he has a Z06

My co-worker, not married. owns his place. Sweet Vette!

And yours looks slick, i'm wondering how FK1000p would work on dark blue metallic

Yes. It has noticeably more gloss than any wax I've ever used, and, it's very durable!!!!!
