    Got a gallon of FK425 in monday from Michael @ finishcareusa@hotmail.com. Customer Svc was great. We even talked shop in some emails. They'll have their website up soon. $8 Flat rate shipping on the gallon via usps priority mail (with tracking info). Thanks Michael!!

    Get a gallon. You wont be disappointed. Its a very very nice qd. Maybe not as slick as OID, but one of the best out there.

    Thanks!

    wah ... NIce FK425 ...

    Its too expensive for me to import ... 1 galon = USD 57.75 for shipping cost + 22.5% government tax ... total about USD 100 / galon ... is it worth to buy then? OID 1 galon only cost abt USD 66 in Indonesia, so which one i should go then?

    Man, tough question. FK425 is awesome though. Tough one there man. I love FK425, so I probably would.

    Your not missing out on too much if you go with the OID. A gallon of OID makes 4 gallons. Me personally, Im a big cheapo and I would go with what gets me the most bang for my buck.

    I think 425 boosts gloss a tiny bit mroe but at the expense of cleaning power. OID is more of a better all around QD while 425 is just what it says "final body shine".

    Hi dude,

    thks for your input ...

    can we dilute OID 1:3? is it true? how abt fk425? if 1galon become 4galons ... its really cheap n worth to consider lol .... if we dilute 1:3, the quality of QD will affect? like less slick or shine?

    tq

    As long as your buying the 32oz bottle or gallon than it comes in concentrated form. The 17oz bottle DOES not, its already diluted. OID must be diluted 1:3 or else it streaks as it will be too concentrated. Some have diluted it more. All in all, OID comes out to about 12.50 a gallon when you buy the gallon concentrate. Not bad for, imo, one of the best QDs out there.

    The 425 shouldnt be diluted. Use it straight. I know someone said they diluted it 1:1 to use as a clay lube but IMO using it for anything else except as a final wipe down is a waste.

    Hmmm, maybe I should dilute my OID more than 3:1. I get terrible streaking with it, so I always use FK425.

    it's my favorite qd by far. Nice pick up.

    Yea pek try diluting it a bit more. Maybe start with 1:3.5

    I personally love OID and find myself reaching for it more than 425.

    Hate to differ, but FK425 is slicker than OID.

    I found that OID is great to use as a "spit shine" product. After, I just use FK425 for the supposed more dust free qualities. Both have a place in my arsenal thats for sure :)
