This is a 3 step paint decontamination system consisting of an alkaline cleaner, acid cleaner and lastly a neutralising shampoo.
Finish Kare’s system deep cleans not only the surface of the paint, but beneath the surface. Ferrous particles penetrate the paint, creating corrosive compounds that damage the paint’s sub-layers. With this system, these ferrous metals are removed, preventing long term paint damage.
Claying is an effective way of removing only particles bonded to the paint surface. The Finish Kare Paint Decontamination Kit is designed to remove paint decontamination beyond what washing and claying is capable of.
The three steps of Finish Kare’s decontamination system are formulated to neutralise and remove the contaminants not only to stop any damage being done to the paint, but also to prevent any future damage.
The Finish Kare Decontamination System Removes:
- Industrial Fallout
- Rail Dust
- Oxidation
- Silicone and Waxes
- Vehicle Wrap Adhesives
- Tar and Road Grime
- Tree Sap
- Insects
- Bird Droppings
- Hard Water Spots

Finish Kare FK425 is an ultra-slick Quick Detail Spray that contains anti-corrosive agents, UV inhibitors and anti-static agents that reduce dust build up. FK425 is not a car wax. Instead it uses polymer resins to protect the surface.
Although Finish Kare 425 does offer some protection, it does not match or replace your other forms of paint protection like paste waxes, sealants and spray sealants. Primarily it is used to remove finger prints, water marks, to maintain your protection beneath and reduce dust attraction keeping your car cleaner and brighter, for longer.
Blackfire Midnight Sun Carnauba Paste wax is considered by many professionals as one of the best car wax pastes available on the market. It has a good balance of durability, gloss and ease of use. These 3 major points are what makes a good car wax. It particularly excels in the gloss department making it an ideal “beauty” wax for concours events and exotic cars in general.
There is a bit of history behind this product. The manufacturer was initially involved with the development of the Pinnacle brand, now owned and distributed by Palm Beach Motoring Accessories. Blackfire Midnight Sun is a “next gen” version of the Pinnacle Souveran. For the Pinnacle fans, think of Souveran on steriods.
Meguiar’s M205 is regarded as one of the best car polishes money can buy. The M205 utilises Meguiar’s non-diminishing abrasive technology and has a low cut rating ideally suited for hard-to-deal-with paints and colours like soft black paints.
M205 has an extensive working time and when used with a soft pad like a Lake Country Black Finessing pad produces a flawless finish and maximum gloss from the paintwork.
Prima Amigo is easily one of the best products I have ever used and smells good enough to eat (chocolate). It’s more than just a car polish. It is a polymer based glaze, extremely easy to use, and buffing off is the best I have experienced. The residue falls off the paint with next to no pressure.
Unlike most glazes, Prima Amigo won’t cause bonding issues if you layer a synthetic product on top. It will also conceal some pretty heavy spider webbing (swirls). I found applying it by machine with a black Lake Country pad the best option. Buff at low speed until the product starts to disappear into the paint. The residue can even be left on overnight.
The latest product to be released from the world’s leading buffing pad manufacturer are the Lake Country 6″ Kompressor pads.
These pads are specially designed for use with dual-action / random orbit polishers. Something that was the 7″ Kompressor’s downfall. The recessed backing and resin style velcro system has been replaced with the traditional velcro and tapered in from the edge like the Constant Pressure pads to ensure no scratching occurs.
After using the 6″ Kompressor pads with the Flex XC3401 VRG it is easy to say that the cusioning is superior to any other pad I have used. The pad felt like it was floating on the surface and the diameter is perfect for the smaller backing plates.

Meguiar’s Quik Clay Detailing System safely restores a smooth-as-glass feel to your paint by removing bonded contaminants from the surface. The clay bar safely traps and lifts off contaminants as you lubricate the surface with Quik Detailer (included). Use a Microfibre Polishing Cloth for the final wipe down of each cleaned section.
This is one of the best value clay kits you’ll find. Although it only contains a small clay bar, it’s more than enough for multiple uses and will go a long way.
