So, I recently (partially) lost my mind and threw nearly $200 at Autogeek purchases. Do I regret this, no, because I got so many marvelous things!
One of the awesome things I purchased was the McKee's 37 Hydro Blue Wash Kit
I had done an iron decontamination, Klasse AIO and Collinite 845, 24 days ago but Pearl was in need of a bath. (Bugs, rain and dusty roads..)
Klasse AIO paired with fine grade steel wool used to get these results
So, removed bugs from front end with Omni Brite (a Car Brite product I get from work, diluted 10:1).
Washed with McKee's 37 Xtreme Foam Formula Auto Shampoo. Now, I know that it's for a foam cannon, but since I haven't gotten my paws on one of those yet, I settled for the directions for a hand wash. The stuff foams nicely in the bucket, but very few suds transfer from the bucket to the paint. It cleaned pretty well, though I did find myself going over a few panels again. Rinsing it off, however, that was a breeze. The scent was nice as well.
Overall, acceptable product results, but I won't buy again unless I've got a foam cannon to use it with! (soon...) but as a hand wash, I'd give it about 7.5 out of 10 stars.
Then came the fun part. Spraying the McKee's 37 Hydro Blue Sio 2 Coating onto the still wet paint. I was sooooo excited. I still had some beading going on, but in the past month the wax had gotten pretty beat up without much care as I'd been busy.
Rinsing this stuff off, I felt like a kid at a candy shop. I can easily say I've not really ever gotten this much beading/sheeting (depending on how the water lands) without some super hard work. Just spraying this stuff on made me super happy with the beading.
Next came drying. There wasn't too much water cling, but there was some.
Using the freshly washed Cobra Supreme Guzzler Waffle Weave Microfiber was a dream. Until pretty recently I'd always sworn by a good Chamois, made easier with a Chamois wringer at work. I'm a believer in this towel, and would like to add another to my arsenal.
The finished result:
So, the application of the spray-on coating was June 9th. Wednesday, June 14th, we had what could be considered torrential downpours. I had pulled into the driveway in my truck and was contemplating my watery doom when my car caught my eye. The water was sliding off the paint just as quickly as it was falling (which is really quite a feat in the conditions it had to deal with!
So, I'm impressed with this stuff. I'd very much like to see where it will go in the future, but I like it so far!
Happy detailing
