What more could you ask for?
I have just started using Finish Kare products, specifically I started with Finish Kare's synthetic paste wax even though it is actually a finishing sealant.  (Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Paste Wax [[ASIN:B002NZL6M6 15oz Finish Kare 1000P Hi Temp]] They sell 1000p for boats but it works wonderfully on cars as well.  This is a dynamite product because it is both easy to apply and buff off plus because it's for boats which see a much more difficult environment than most cars, one can expect a much longer period of protection than typical car waxes give.  If you're looking for one wax to protect your ride, you really can't go wrong with the 1000P.  It also produces a beautiful shine though some might claim that it doesn't have the depth and wet look that many carnauba waxes give.<br /><br />To see if I could get the depth of shine and wet look, I was eager to purchase some of Finish Kare's 2685 Pink Paste Wax. It's made from #1 Brazilian carnauba plus some reinforcing resins to give the wax more durability, especially it's resistance to burn-off from heat.  In what has to be one of the sweetest deals I've seen in a long time, you can get three cans of the 2685 for the price of one.  If you apply this wax properly, you'll be fixed practically for life.<br /><br />I applied one coat to my Ranger this afternoon and it couldn't have been easier.  I did the entire truck including wheels and tonneau cover in about an hour.  I applied this wax during a very humid day (like we have anything else in GA at this time of year) and it went on smoothly and it hazed in about 5 minutes.  On other waxes, I've had a hard time getting them off if they sat too long but the 2685 buffed right off with a cotton towel.  Normally, I have to use microfiber to remove sealants and waxes and on many days, static becomes a problem but not so with cotton.  It's just my opinion but with a cotton towel, you don't remove any of the newly applied product.  Another possible advantage is that this wax (like 1000p) doesn't stain exterior vinyl.  In my experience all I had to do was use a soft bristle brush to remove the dry residue. NOTE: I keep my vinyl in pretty good condition and you may have a different experience if your vinyl has weathered so test and test again.<br /><br />Note that neither 1000p nor 2685 have any cleaning properties.  If your paint has corrosion, stains or other problems, you'll need a cleaner wax or a polish to fix the paint.  Finish Kare make some products that will help you here: Finish Kare 215 One Step Cleaner & Surface Sealant ([[ASIN:B002NQXLP0 Finish Kare Cleaner Surface Sealant]] but once your paint is good you can add a couple of coats of 1000P to keep the paint protected.<br /><br />Since neither 1000p nor 2685  have any cleaners in them, they can be layered.  I had three coats of 1000p on my ride before I added the 2685 today.  Tomorrow, I'll add another coat.<br /><br />Finish Kare, like to many other companies is very spare with information about how to use their products in the most effective way and the stores that sell Finish Kare products just mouth the basic superficial marketing hype without going into the nitty gritty.  So after perusing the forum where these product have been discussed, figure about 24 hours for each layer to cure before another layer can be applied.  If you don't leave enough time between coats, you risk taking off the first coat with the second one.  The current thinking is that it takes about 3 days for 1000p to cure completely and I'd guess a similar time for 2685.<br /><br />I would have given this product 5 stars except durability is a critical feature of a wax and I haven't had time to test the durability of either 1000p or 2685 yet.  I'll update when I know more.
