Fw1?

Anyone use it? My wife bought me a can and I tested it on a lil spot and its seems to do what I need (get out light oxidation and water spots). But I'm just wonderin if anyone has any bad long term results?

I have heard of it; I have not tried it.

If it works for you and you like the results -- that's what matters. What FW1 (I keep thinking fiscal week one) product is it?

hey joe, i know you posted this a long time ago. This hott chic sold me them at the gas station, i couldn't resist, not to mention she gave me her #.

The great thing about it is that it can be used anywhere without consequences. Unlike regular wax, where you have to watch out for plastic. I've personally haven't used it yet, but from the practice runs she did on my truck, it looks like a good product. I got a great deal on them, 3 for 30$....cant pass that up since they go on ebay for 34.95 plus 12$ shipping. REDICULOUS. It must be a badass product.

Since i've got some play to work with, because of my 3 bottles, i'll give them a little test and see what happens. I'll let you know.

I have been using it for a few months. Same here....I was accosted at the gas station by some cute gal from Hot'lanta, GA with a sales pitch and a demonstration! I probably would have bought lipstick from her if that's what she was peddling!!! The FW1 stuff works! I really like the way it keeps the brake dust off the wheels.

just saw this post today. Guy I work with was telling me about this stuff he cleaned his wheels with. he drives through fields and stuff regularly and his alloy wheels have been shiney for a month. Normally he has ton of break dust, etc on them. Finally brought me the can and it was this FW1. Fastwax is the name of company on bottle

The last time I had someone demonstrate this stuff for me, was about 3 years ago at a gas station, of course. Now, let me first say, I'm driving my '86 F150 in the winter, so it is also covered with water (rain), dirt and grime from the road. The guy walks up to me, asks if he can give me a demonstration. It's the truck, "sure." He sprays it on there, rubs, and goes, "Look at that! Look how shiny and clean that spot is compared to the rest of the truck!" Who'da thunk? Wiping water, dirt and grime off of paint makes it shiny? No way...

I've had others try the same things when I'm in my other cars during the summer; when they are cleaned, waxed and looking good. I get into a detailing talk with them, that lasts about a minute with them saying, "yeah, that stuff's all right...," and then walking away. Of course, when I ask them what they really think that stuff will do for my car, they don't really have a definitive answer. I wonder if they've added it to the books by now...

YEP, tried it out on my wife's rims, alloys. it works good, cleans & brightens it up for sure. Just would not risk it on the paint on my vehicles.
