1000P

Just tried this FK1 product a few weeks back and by moly, this product is still beading well. That's after 2 weeks of non stop rain and ZERO washes in between. Have I mentioned 24/7 open air parking conditions?

While the durability was great, I sensed that there was almost zero shine in it. I just simply didn't like the end result aesthetically. My car is supposed to be blazing red, and there it sat, slick as butter, repelling water like no tomorrow but something was missing.

Fast forward to 2 weeks later, after a good wash, I could see just some faint watermarks that came off rather easily with my AIO, Poorboy's Polish with Sealant. After getting most of the random stains off the bonnet, I slapped on a coat of Soft99 premium carnauba wax and the difference was pretty obvious. The colour was back, the gloss was very apparent, it just looked much better than the 1000P alone.

While 1000P is a 2 thumbs up product in its own right, it reigns in the class of protection, not aesthetics. At least on red.
