It's the lack of paint you see.

I've read that FK1000p is good and also heard about maybe using Z8 sealant on top of it?

EDIT: Just realised FK1000p is a sealant not a wax so Z8 ontop is probably unnecessary for me! Looks like I'll be investing in some FK1000p and a clay kit

fk1000 is a sealant but looks and applies like a wax. i use it topped with z8 on my own car and it looks spot on. (if i do say so myself lol)

instead of. it is a sealant but unlike any other. all other sealants are either sprays or runny liquid. fk1000 is a rock hard block in a pot. if anyone buys any use a sponge applicator pad and moisten it first. it helps put a thin layer on and spreads easier.
