I received a phone call Friday afternoon last minute to see if I had room to take care of this vehicle the following day on Saturday. As this person is a friend of a friend and drove over an hour this way, I moved another client to take this job on. Luckily I had no problems shuffling vehicles around.

I had one full day to knock this one out from interior cleanup, dress/protect vinyl, leather, rubber, and plastics to transforming the exterior and applying a coating. The total transformation lasted 10 hours and by the time I was finished I was whooped from this one.

Upon receiving the car from the owner she could not believe the transformation and that it was still her car. She could not believe the level of glass the car now possessed. She was very thrilled to have her baby brought back to life.

Great job as always buddy! McKee's 37 wins again!

How did the XFE feel?

How do you like the coating?
 
Great Work Mike.

How will you rate Mckee's Coating w.r.t. ease of application.
Say from 0 - 10. With 10 being the easiest.

Thanks
 
Excellent work as always Mike! Eager to hear your thoughts on the XFE as well :)

That is one RED interior!!
 
Great job. Thanks for the detailed write up. How are you liking the McKee's 37 product?

Thank you sir!

Great job as always buddy! McKee's 37 wins again!

Incredibly smooth. Will get into more details when I officially review it.

Really impressed with the ease of use.

Thank you good sir.

Without a doubt, 10.

Thanks Ian! Will do on on the XFE when I officially review it.

Sure is. This combo does not work for me. I think the coral red leather would look great on a Le Mans Blue Metallic M Sport with aluminum trim.

Great job. Thanks for the detailed write up. How are you liking the McKee's 37 product?

Thanks Mike! Hope you enjoyed.

I am really enjoying the McKees's product line. The products flat out work with exceptional quality results.

Excellent work Mike !!!! McKee's 37 for the win !!!

Thanks Pat!!! I agree!!!

Nice work, Mike!

Thanks Chad!!!!
 
Very nice Mike. I'm just wondering how in the heck you did all that work in 10 hours! You must've been movin the entire time.
 
Excellent job.

I also have had great results with the Mckee's product line. Used the Compound and Polish on a black Range Rover this past weekend and they left the finish flawless.
