Bonding Issues - How to Spot Them?

[Swishbrade]

Hi all

 

I had just tried FK1 FX100 on Meg's #26 but it didnt seem to give me the desired effect in terms of shine and slickness.

 

Is there a bonding issue between these 2 products? And can the more experienced bros here advise me on how to spot bonding / product compatibility issues? How do we spot them, and tell if 2 products go well or don't go well together?

 

Also, rain water seem to dry "white" in colour after the FX100 application. They are not hard and can come off with a gentle rub from my fingers. Help! What are they and what's happening?

 

Thanks!

Bro,

 

I put FX100 on top of KSG, FK1000P or Pink Wax all gave me shine & slick.

 

I always spray FX100 in a MF applicator to apply the and only buff off after

applied on the whole ride. Actually as what PPL said in Autopia, at the time you

apply, the FX100 was melted into the paint and it really nothing more to buff.

 

By the way I dun hv the white spot after rain.

Yo bro MarcosTan. Thanks for coming to my rescue again. I think I do have a bonding issue cos maybe PW or 1000P is specially made to go well with FX100.

 

After thinking about it, the symptoms are all there.

1) Streaking

2) Very visible hazing after application of a thin layer only

3) White spots

 

I think these symptoms may mean that the FX100 has not really been absorbed into the Meg #26 layer...just a guess...but a good reason to get the PW and 1000P...hehe

 

Bro Marcos, when is your next order? Can tumpang?

 

BTW, do you apply the FX100 in a front back manner or circular manner?

Bro,

 

Still got gallon of 425 & 2/3 bot of FX100, so no need to reorder so soon.

 

Want to try 1000P

Wow! That's a lot of 425!

 

I really like the dark colour of Meg 26 but for the sake of using my FX100, I will definitely like to try the 1000P. I read that a 1000P / PW / FX100 and 425 combo is an eye dazzling combo! Have you tried it yet?

 

When is your next Wash and Wax bro?

 

Cheers
