Has anyone polished, used Carpro Eraser, and then applied McKees paint coating all in one day? Does Eraser hinder the adhesion or bonding of the coating? I know CQUK would work as they are in the same lineup, but not sure about the McKees paint coating.

Looking to do a panel wipedown after polishing the paint.

On a side note: do you guys think it's a huge deal to NOT use a polish by the same company? What I mean by that is say, can I use Poorboys SSR1 polish, then use McKees paint coating? I don't see it as an issue. A polish is a polish, and a compound is a compound...no?

That would be there chemical cleaner compound. But that won't remove polishing dust etc I don't think. I think it's just a chemical stripper to remove oxidation etc, clean deep dirt etc right?
 
I would follow there instructions using the coating polish that they recommend because it say it has no oils it may be a water based polish too promote adhesion its kind of different coating form a normal coating so too be safe that's what I would do if you have dusting use a tack rag or something too remove the dust without effecting the surface

I think it will work. Keep in mind "synergistic compatability" that Mike refers to. Certain products are made to work hand in hand with others and been tested as such.

I say this because if you have issues with McKees not lasting, it can then be contributed to not use the suggested products.

Me personally I own products from various manufacturers and would probably try.

The lubricants in CarPro Eraser do not bond well (pun intended) with McKee's 37 Paint Coating. I would not suggest using it as your prep.

The following products have been tested and approved. Obviously I would encourage you to use McKee's 37 Coating Prep Polish OR N-914 (paint prep dilution) for best results, but these work well too if you have some on hand:

  • Wolfgang Perfekt Finish Paint Prep
  • BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Prep

Poorboy's World makes great polishes. Any of the recommended prep products listed above will remove the polishing oils from SSR1.

Is D114 anything like the Wolfgang or BF ( seems very close to the N-914 ) you mentioned above? Im on mobile and have looked those up yet.
 
so ive done quite a few cars with mckees paint coating and have started to notice that when I use eraser I have more issues them when I use say wolfgangs paint prep. I have n914 and just didn't think about using it as a prep wipe, but now I think ill try that on my next coating application.

I can attest to the Blackfire Coating Prep working with the McKee 37 coating. That is what I used when applying the coating on two of my cars.

I'm encouraged to see N-914 has a coating prep dilution. I really like the spray preps vs having to go over my car with a DA after already spending hours polishing out defects. N-914 being considerably cheaper than the Blackfire prep is a nice touch too!
 
I have about 2 gallons of D114 and IM thinking its the same thing as the N-914? OR at least can do the same thing,.


edited: Nick PM'ed me stating that N-914 would be best.
