What is the longest lasting wax?

I'm jealous your summers aren't as hot. But not jealous of your winters hehehe!

Winters are beautiful here. No snow at all and perfect temps. :D :D :D I know I know I'm not helping HAHAHA!



Well I've never tried 476. I'm just thinking that when it's 110+F outside, nothing will survive LOL!

Would you suggest another product when it is 110*?

Coatings are the only product I think will best survive our hell of a summer hahaha! Maybe there's a sealant or wax that would survive but I think it will be short lived. But I don't know...

You already got the McKee's 37 Wheel Coating. Time to pick up the McKee's 37 Paint Coating to compliment it. :) On sale right now for $27.99 plus 20% off. Can't beat that.

My car's coating is still going strong after 22 months of application.
 
I think most sealants I've checked out has roughly about 6 months durability (though some claim longer durability).

Apart from sealant and the ceramic coats, anyone tried true nano coatings? Like Plasma coatings or nano sealant type coatings?

I am gonna give them a shot for fall and if they work well, I might stick to them. They claim durability of over a year.

I already got the M 37 Paint Coating too. Just haven't used it yet. My C 476 still looks wonderful. But I guess I will use it next. Or maybe save it for next May. The Wheel coating and glass coating were simple and are performing great. Thanks for talking me into them.

I didn't know you got the paint coating too. I thought you only got the wheel and glass coating. Now you have the entire coating trio!!!

I'm glad to hear they are performing great. That's what's nice about these McKee's coatings - they are extremely easy to use and apply. And perform relatively well.

Sounds like you're talking about the DR's plasma coat, if so I hope you post.
 
TBH I just ensure my preparation is made really well. I wash 2B method, clay, glaze, 2 coats sealant (wait 30 minutes in between each coat), 2 coats wax, and spray sealant. My favorite wax so far is CG Concourse 50/50 or Celeste Detagglio.

Yep, impulsive extra purchase when I really didn't need it. The Wheel and Glass coat were so easy, so I pulled the trigger. If *I* can apply them, anyone can. LOL

We all need coatings in our life. :)

I enjoy applying LSPs but lately, I just don't have as much time as I'd like to detail the cars. Having a coating on gives me a good sense of security knowing that my car is always protected. My coating has been on for 22 months already and is still going strong! :)

Yeah that is the one :) I am intrigued to try the Plasmacoat so much so I went ahead and ordered it. I'll try and use it when the temps here get a little cooler (at least below 95)

It claims durability of over a year and free of VOCs (all their stuff is eco friendly) and the finish looks great from what I saw on done cars (if you search for it, there is already a few people who have done their cars with it and pretty impressed with it).

I have to find out the durability for myself. Application looks very easy. I might put on a couple of coats and then build up one or two more coats in a month after washes. If that lasts a year, then that would be my go to coat.

There are a couple of other products from the Dr I am interested in trying as well. Their Leather Lock and Wheel protectant product piques my interest as well.
 
I've not tried McKee's Coating, but have tried both DP and Pinnacle Diamond Spray Coatings when they first hit the market, and have to be honest, I was not impressed at all with either of them.

I did my Kia Spectra Daily Driver junkmobile with the DP, and that was after a full polish and wipe down with Eraser, and noted the ease in which wash induced marring-swirling occurred. And I used both on other little projects, such as my Cargo Trailer's Fenders, and neither lasted. Sitting in blazing sun everyday, those fenders again re-oxidized within just a couple-few weeks. I actually found Colly 845 to protect longer.

YMMV, but that was my findings with those two products. The science may be different, but those products, unlike some others, will not turn an applicator hard as a rock like the Carpro Products will, and I'm sure some others, from Optimum, and probably GTechniq, and perhaps Gyeon, etc

As for products like McKee's, or the DP, or Pinnacle, yes, they are relatively easy to apply. As long as you're not trying to apply these sprays in gale force winds. Because 1/2 the product you are applying will be wasted.

Slickness of feel, yes, the DP, and Pinnacle Coatings were some of the most "slickest" products I've ever used bar none. If all the proper prep is done beforehand like claying, and polishing, the final buffing towel will not stay on the vehicle, that slick.

In the McKee's nomenclature of this coating, it goes on to say easy, etc etc, but as all know here due to common sense, and the description of use touches upon such, you cannot throw these coatings upon a paint that might have other waxes or sealants still on them. You have to start with a clean slate, meaning squeaky clean paint, hence the paint prep is mentioned which will remove other products beforehand.

With improper prep, no coating will properly bond and protect as advertised.

I agree with a lot of what you wrote especially the science portion. I wonder if Eraser caused you to have issues. It's been mentioned a few times that it doesn't play well with Pinnacle Black Label. I would think DP/McKee's would have a similar issue seeing as it is probably based on the similar chemical make up of PBL.

Interesting...can I use Collinite 845 or HD Speed on the McKees Paint Coating? I just ordered the paint coating and pre cleaner from AG

No to HD speed as it contains abrasives. I would actually not top the McKee's.

That would make sense...that seems like a great combo to me...McKee Paint Coating and then I can top it off with Collinite 845 every few months...that would he's very easy way to maintain my paint

Get yourself the Pinnacle Black Label Coating booster and top it with that.

Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Coating Booster

Would you suggest another product when it is 110*?

Get yourself the Pinnacle Black Label Coating Booster as well if you are going with DP/McKee's 37 paint coating.
 
You guys are all over the place in this thread. Lol
