    New coatings?

    So I used to wax the truck now that tines getting short, id like to coat it. I've been weary because of the old coatings of yesteryear would fash quick or they were hard to make sure they were leveled out well. Now days they seem super easy to use.

    What's a good coating to use, that has ease of use etc. Im going to polish the paint using Poor boys SSR line up prior. Then I guess use Eraser to clean the paint or DuPont wax and grease remover.

    Re: New coatings?

    Optimum Paint Coating This is the first I used and was super simple to use. Problem with this is it lasts a long time and you will need to wash less often and no need to wax. I find myself walking around my van and realizing it just needs a rinseless from time to time. I spent money on a pressure cleaner that only gets use on other peoples paint now. I spend 1/3rd of the time that I used to spend cleaning my own ride. Sounds strange but sometime I miss the old days of 3hr wash,dry,wax. I also have Tuf shine tire sealant on the tires.TUF SHINE Tire Appearance Kit, tuf shine tire dressing, permanent tire shine, permanent tire sealant

    Optimum and Pinnacle Black Label are good coatings. Very easy to use. Gloss Coat is currently my favorite to use at the moment.

    And neither one is sold on the Autogeek store. This forum is paid for and supported by Autogeek - We Are Car Care, Car Wax, Car Polish, Auto Detailing Supplies, Car Buffers & Car Accessories Store not Kamakaze Myabi or ism.

    You've been a member here for 6 years and you don't know the forum rules?


    Forum Rules


    The purpose of Autogeekonline.com is for detailing discussion, providing a place for likeminded auto "Geeks" to share knowledge and partake in fellowship.

    1. The AutogeekOnline discussion forum is exclusively sponsored by Autogeek.com. Product discussion should be limited to products that are available from Autogeek.com and PBMA's family of websites.

    Links, videos or recommendations to competing products and companies that are not available through Autogeek.com will be moved to the Moderators forum and offenders will be warned or simply placed into the SELF-BANNED catogary of member groups on this forum.

    Repeated linking and recommendations of products not available through Autogeek.com may result in a permanent ban. Moderators have the right to edit any posts that contain links, recommendations or other information pertaining to competing companies that are not associated with Autogeek.com


    2. No arguing with Moderators or Administrators.

    3. You are welcome to disagree but you must be polite.

    4. No bashing any company or their products. No bashing other people. If you can't say anything nice about someone, then don't say anything at all, this also includes talking to others in a demeaning manner.

    REMEMBER this forum is here for those that are new to detailing and those that have been doing this for years. We expect that you treat everyone with respect no matter what their level of detailing is. We all had to start somewhere.


    5. Forum Nicknames and Avatars must be family friendly, they cannot even hint towards anything raunchy, sleazy, sexual or inappropriate. When in doubt we will err on the side of caution and ask you to choose a different Avatar or Nickname.

    6. E-mail addresses cannot be used as a forum nickname.

    7. If any thread gets off topic it will be at the discretion of the moderator to close and/or move it to moderators corner.

    8. Keep language "G Rated", this includes insinuations. If you wouldn't say it in front of your grandparents, your parents or your children, then you shouldn't probably be posting to the AutogeekOnline forum.

    9. Self-promoting clickable links are not allowed in your posts. Detailers can put a link to their company in their signature, as long as they are not selling anything but their services.

    10. Moderators have the right to move any thread that does not follow within the AGO rules to moderators corner.

    11. Only one account per member! The only conceivable reason for multiple accounts would be for fraudulent activity. You will be banned for this action immediately.

    12. Continuously breaking the rules to disrupt the online community will result in you being banned from the forum.

    13. No Commercial sales, personal sales or samples from competing companies. One post trying to promote and you will have banned yourself permanently. This is a private forum not an open forum. No links to outside companies for sales either.

    14. All messages posted to AutogeekOnline become the property of Autogeek.net. and may not be deleted without first obtaining permission.

    15. No personal attacks toward members or non-members will be tolerated.




    Exceptions:
    We stand behind our Moderators, if our Moderators think you're causing problems for the online community they are empowered to take whatever action necessary to correct the problem.


    Rule Infraction Enforcement
    Everyone makes mistakes however; pushing the house rules to the limit will not be tolerated. Therefore, chronic and severe violators of AGO rules will be warned, put on a Queue (time-out), or completely banned based on the severity of the violation. We will apply rule enforcement as follows:

    1st time offense - Warning: Minor rule infractions, you will be sent a PM or email by a moderator pointing out the infraction. There will be no action at this time outside of the warning.

    2nd time offense - Queue: This will give you a 24 hour up to a two week forum break. This will occur after you have been warned previously or if you are involved with bashing of other members, being a hot-head, spamming, bad language, posting inappropriate materials.

    3rd and last time - Banned: You will have effectively banned yourself if you are a repeat offender or if you are involved with any of the following....blatant spamming/selling, attacking forum moderators, pornography, racial/sexist/threatening posts, trolling, fraud, liable/slander, multiple accounts, shills.

    Using two solvents to strip the paint is overkill in my opinion and experience. Just do a good job with one. Use lots of microfiber towels for the wiping process so you don't simply cross contaminate the paint finish by transferring polishing oils from one panel to the next panel.

    The simplest, easiest coating I've ever applied is the McKee's 37 Paint Coating. I believe it's also the most economical.

    It also leaves the paint feeling slick or slippery. Some, maybe most coatings leave the paint feeling rubbery. Personally I don't like the paint on my cars to feel rubbery and I notice microfiber towels don't "glide" over them when drying or wiping. That's my personal preference though everyone can decide for themselves if they like the slick feel or the rubbery feel.

    That's all.

    How's the durability on M37 vs Gloss Coat?

    Also I didn't mean two solvents, I meant either or. I may use the eraser as I've had it sitting here and I need to use it up.

    I can't speak for Gloss Coat, but I'd think it would be in a different league than M37. I'm running M37 on my wife's car right now and I'm very concerned about the durability. I'll be starting a thread about my observations in a few minutes.
