    Re: Looking to take my first dive into Paint and Surface Coatings

    Coat everything; paint, wheels, tires, rims, exterior glass. Life is much easier, car stays cleaner longer, looks better longer, uses less products to keep it so, less towels, brushes and applicators to clean after washing car. With everything coated, maintenance/washing cleanup has been reduced to 2 dryint towels for paint, a waffle weave drying towel to dry wheels and a car wash mitt, all of which have no noticeable dirt on them after wash (including wheel only towel). Gyeon Bathe is the only product used during wash, save for monthly use of SiO2 booster while drying car.

    Re: Looking to take my first dive into Paint and Surface Coatings

    Thankyou for all of these awesome responses guys!

    Right now are most Coating choices pretty even, thus personal preference being the biggest factor in choice. Or are there some than out above the rest?

    Thankyou!

    Re: Looking to take my first dive into Paint and Surface Coatings

    I can only talk about the two coatings I've used. The Blackfire Paint Coating and McKee's 37. Blackfire was a nightmare to apply, McKee's 37 was a dream and not much harder than applying a spray wax.

    You might want to start with McKee's as your first try, and then "graduate" to some of the upper market coatings that take a bit more finesse to apply.

    Optimum gloss coat so easy a caveman can do it.
