What's GPS?

I don't mean to hijack your thread so I hope you're cool with me posting my test results real quik.

I tried D151 on my rubber weatherstripping.

Cleaner wax. Didn't stain a thing...

Clean.

Then I tried Ultimate Polish on the right side, I figured this should surely stain because it says to keep of trim on the directions.

Didn't stain it either...

I guess Hyper Dressing [even though I haven't applied it in well over a month is protecting my rubber from any harm

I think if you tried it on certain textured plastics you would have an issue but I could be wrong. thanks for the testing!!!

I figured rubber would be more susceptible since I've stained some rubber trim on a sunroof pretty bad way back in the days. Lol.

No problem, I'll do pretty much anything to car except for messing with the fabric top [because it looks good and I'm not about to mess it up. Lol]

Just today I thought of testing several metal polishes for an extended period of time on my already broken plastic chrome trim that's on my rear bumper.

I'd like to test metal polish applied aggressively several times per week for a month, to find out if it really destroys it or not.

My other paint preps work on plastic. Why would you create a product that wouldn't? Products that stain plastics are usually in the very low end of what is available in the industry. Since plastics are gonna be coated, they need to be prepped. If I purchase a product to prep the surfaces for coating, why would I want one that only work on paint? Or to turn this around, if I need to have a prep product that works on plastics and and other surfaces, why would I need your product? It simply makes no sense and saying "Well, we never said it would work on plastic" is a ridiculous defense.

Why would you be surprised that the product isn't meeting your expectations if you aren't following the directions?

It's a polish, for paint. We have a dedicated cleaner for trim - Wax Remover For Plastic.

Our rinseless wash, N-914, can be used as a prep spray for all exterior surfaces. It doesn't, however, deep clean paint like the Coating Prep Polish does.

It it almost seems like your questions are rhetorical? Are you genuinely seeking advice or are you here simply to point out that a product doesn't work for an application that it's not even designed for?

this is one of the "silliest" threads ive ever seen on AGO. if you have a product that already does what you want it to do, just use that. seems a little easier than asking the manufacturer or someone else to justify you buying a product. certain product lines have specialized products that are formulated for very specific purposes so that people can easily reach for what they want to do(clean trim, clean an interior, etc.) and they don't run into any surprises. It's the preferred method for some.

there are even prescription drugs that have off label uses. once you go off label you lose the right to complain about it working for whatever you're using it for. that should be common sense.

This product is NOT made for plastic. Simple.

What's GPS?

You asked for it.

GPS or Global Positioning System is a network of orbiting satellites that send precise details of their position in space back to earth. The signals are obtained by GPS receivers, such as navigation devices and are used to calculate the exact position, speed and time at the vehicles location.

thanks for the clarification. i was thinking here at work it was the Great Plains Software

with that said. I just put an order last night for my first coating products. i also put fathers day in the comment field so im hoping to have a review of my own for McKee's 37 next weekend.

 

[WillSports3]

GPS is also an optimum glaze polish and sealant, an AIO basically. It's a spray liquid like hyper compound and hyper polish.

I've used both products in the original post. I've gotten excellent results and am very pleased.

I purchased a bottle of McKee's Paint Coating and a bottle of Coating prep polish last year and was only able to try them today.

It appears that you are more disappointed with the prep polish more than anything. The fact that you dis-like that it can stain plastic trim has nothing to do with the performance of the Paint Coating.

The prep polish was designed for paint not plastic, The fact that it has the possibility to stain trim should not come as a surprise.

So my first experience with those 2 products were less than satisfactory, will definatelly not buy them again.

Did you even give the coating a chance to see how you like it? How do you even know if you like it or dont? I think you jumped the gun, you said you installed the coating today, That means it has not even been on the car for 24 hours yet. How can you possibly know if you are satisfied or not with the coating? prep-polish staining trim has nothing to do with the coating performance wise. The product has not even been on the vehicle long enough for you to wash it, Give the product time to see how you like it for a proper assessment.

I use McKee's 37 exclusively in my shop, I have countless hours of experience with each product, McKee's 37 Paint Coating is the coating I install most, the majority of my clients that get their coated, Have maintenance program washes set up with me, All customers are extremely satisfied with the performance of the coating.

The McKee's 37 Paint Coating characteristics are very appealing to the professional auto detailer/weekend warrior/enthusiast.

1. Good Price Point increases Profit Margins
2. Easy Installation
3. Great Performance

The thing I love about the McKee's 37 Paint coating the most, Is I can do a one-step polish and coat a car the same day if I start early in the morning. That means I can make 400+ in 1 day and get ready for the next one the next morning. Those are my favorite type of jobs.

This Genesis was done in 1 day.

You are right, I was very disapointed with the prep polish. Why would I buy this product when I already have similar products in my arsenal; synergy. I think that products made with work with one an other produce better results.

As for the coating, I was angry when I was informed via the promotional video from McKee's that is was a 1 year coating and not 2 year like advertised when I purchased it. Now they say it was a mistake in the video... ok.

As for use of application, did not see much issues there. About performance, I will know shortly, the customer someone I see often so I will know how happy he is with it when he first washes his car. As for durability, I really hope it is 2 years protection.

What durability results have you seen with McKees 37 coating?

awesome to hear. great work.

whats the durability youve experienced with this product if i may ask?

Also,im looking into offering coatings for my customers now and would like to start a maintenance package like you.

How often do you recommend to your customer to come back for maintenance ?

Can black label paint cleansing polish be used instead of the mckee 37 one? I've got plenty of that. I considered the m37 paint coating for customers as an option.

Use this thick cream to prep your vehicle’s paint, wheels, and glass for application of a Black Label Diamond coating.

Right but does it play nice with the m37 coating? For example eraser doesn't play nice because the lubricating agents in eraser cause the m37 coating to not bond properly. Just wondering if it's a similar issue with the pbl polish.

I've tried the PBL Surface Cleansing Polish with the McKee's 37 Paint Coating and it worked just fine. I didn't notice any bonding issues.
