am I missing something? I guess I could use this in place of the soap I currently use as a lube when Nano Sponging the vehicles simply because it couldn't hurt to use it. Not sure yet.
If I’m not mistaken this soap is safe to use on coated cars and will not strip it. So maybe it could be used like twice a year to do a deep clean on the coating? I’m thinking this followed by Iron-X will get the coating back in great shape. Hopefully Nick can confirm this will indeed not affect the coating.

Re: McKee's 37 Coating Prep Auto Wash
Is it safe to say McKee's 37 Coating Prep Auto Wash is McKees 914 (diluted 8:1) in a soap formula?

From a chemical standpoint, Coating Prep Auto Wash is 3 to 4 times as strong as a normal auto wash. This was made possible thanks to a very advanced alkaline detergent that will help remove remaining traces of previously applied waxes and sealants.

Yes, very effective with either wash method.

Not when used as directed Paul.

Very little impact, if any.

Quoting myself from the video on the product page: "...what if you're working on something that hasn't been as well maintained as your own vehicle. If you're a detailer, you encounter this situation often. If you have a customer's vehicle that hasn't been properly washed in months, or even years, you NEED a STRONG wash to cut through all that grease, grime, bird droppings, and bug splatter."
Coating Prep Auto Wash makes the frustrating task of washing a filthy, neglected vehicle easier. In the process, it's going to remove remaining traces of previously applied waxes and sealants.
I also mention, in the video, that removing old waxes and sealants will improve the performance of your polishing compound.
The video is only 2 minute and 34 seconds. Check it out.

They are very different products.

So it won’t strip off Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant, but will strip off McKee’s Hi Def Paint Sealant. Got it.

Re: McKee's 37 Coating Prep Auto Wash
@ Nick Can you explain the difference? I like Mckee's 914 8:1 for paint prep.

Nick underlined “remaining traces”, so I’m guessing it’s not going to strip any strong LSP that is fairly fresh (just my interpretation).
not sure how this impacts WETS.

I think Glug-Glug in the Nick scale = 2-3 oz into the bucket (3gal) or foam gun container.
