[matsu]

i bought this to do my new calipers with 3-4 coats prior to fitting and the shinew even after one coat is amazing.
is this a good wax as any other to use all over the car-esp as im running low on my lusso???

how does it compare -re shine and durability... if it aint i got a big pot of expensive(to my beginner-ness) which is going to last me forever lol

I had to look up "BWM 1000" - it looks like Finish Kare 1000P clicky?

If so, that's the same sealant I've used on my car. I applied it during the autumn period and it looked okay but 48 hours later, after curing, it had this massive shine - like the car had been wrapped with clear plastic or something. If you apply two layers, 48 hours apart, it's very durable.

In fact, for winter protection, I applied two layers of sealant and two of wax. It's a bit overkill but for me, it's fine.

FK1000P is very cheap. Bare in mind you can get waxes which cost over £10,000, £20 is nothing.

1.-so will i need to strip my car with LSP or similer and clay etc before applying?

You don't use LSP to strip the car but yes you need to get to a clean base, otherwise the sealant won't stick well. Clay the paintwork, cleanse it, apply the sealant.

2.- if i apply one coat then leave it on car to cure for how long?

As above, 48 hours minimum. I leave one week between applications because of a lack of off-road space.

3.- then just leave the car and 48hrs re do all over again?

Apply it with a foam applicator, leave, buff off with a microfibre cloth. The next time you apply, I'd recommend still washing the car and drying it before applying a second coat.

Yes. Wash the car, clay it, wash again, dry. Apply wax, leave to cure eg 10-15 mins, buff. Wait minimum 48 hours. Wash the car, dry it, apply second layer, leave to cure, buff off.
