Re: Anyone try McKee’s Graphene Deep Gloss Ceramic Sealant?
The new version of ULW is actually quite nice. It is a little more liquidy than the previous version, but still spreads very easily and nicely and wipe off is a breeze. I do the entire car then start to take off at the starting point, it comes off so easy and leaves a really nice gloss and darkening. Smells pleasant as all Megs stuff does. I did some friends summer toys this summer, 2 coats of ULW and 1 coat of Megs Fast Finish on top. Cars look fantastic but because they are summer toys it's hard to judge durability, topped with UQW after odd washes with a coat of ULW here and there, they could go a few summers.
So megs original was easy to work with, Megs made it a bit better in every catagory I feel.

Re: Anyone try McKee’s Graphene Deep Gloss Ceramic Sealant?
Haven't tried that LSP, Ric.....
But, every other McKee's product I have tried has impressed me.
I know you'll chime in with the no-BS report on it after you apply it........
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Re: Anyone try McKee’s Graphene Deep Gloss Ceramic Sealant?
I just watch some videos with Extreme Shield.
That's some serious looking stuff.
It has to hurt to not have it available any more. Maybe they'll release a similar product at some point?

That’s funny, I just went and watched the videos just now. It’s been many years since I’ve watched those vids and I’m surprised some of them are even still up. I can tell you that everything in those videos is completely true. A couple of things they don’t mention is 1. The darkening ability which is great. Kind of similar to how Ultimate Wax darkens black & burgundy paint but this wax darkens slightly more. Also, similar to some other sealants it has the ability to hide minor swirls especially in the short term.
2. And IMO it’s best and most important factor [along with the best water beading I’ve ever seen] is it’s ability to protect against bonded contaminants. This product is what allows me to go long term without needing to claybar. As long as you re-apply about every 3-4 months nothing gets past the shield. [keep in mind that’s in the horrible air quality of LA] Paint remains smooth as glass.
It also offers incredible protection against water spots. It even states it on the box and sure enough I never had to fear a sprinkler because any water spots easily wash right off.
Yes it hurts to not have any available now. This is the moment I feared and why I initially went out and hoarded every bottle I could get my hands on. I even bought a couple bottles on Ebay from somebody overseas and paid a premium for shipping because I just had to have it. Lol.
I think I had close to 10 bottles at 1 point. IMO this stuff is like Gold. Lol.
The same exact thing happened with the Turtle Wax Endura Tire Coating, and based on how good that product was I had a hunch they’d be stupid enough to discontinue it and sure enough they did. Luckily I also did my best to hoard that product before it was all gone, unfortunately I made the mistake of including the tire coating in so many of my customers details, so I ran out much sooner than I expected. Lol.

Hmm… I didn’t even know such a product existed. I don’t usually put much faith in spray products, but you never know.

It really seems like an action packed sealant (?). I would have picked this up had I known. But probably better to not taste the bitter tears of sorrow at it's discontinuation!
It looked like a legit ceramic in the videos. Probably wasn't a pain to apply either...
I'm going to give the one Coatingsarecrack posted a whirl.
Crossing my fingers you have a suitable replacement.

Re: Anyone try McKee’s Graphene Deep Gloss Ceramic Sealant?
It's sad companies stop making products that are sometimes so very good, a step above other products. I guesss it usually comes down to the bottom line $$$, if it doesn't sell they kill it. So many hidden gems most don't know about how good they are until too late.
I remember seeing a bottle of Meguiar's Wash+ on a Napa shelf all covered in dust, had it in my hand walking to the cash. For whatever reason I said "ahhh, maybe another day", and set it back on the shelf. Then like fate, read about it on this and sister forum, how good it was and Megs killed it. Well, I headed back to grab it, not worrying it would be gone, as it had a layer of long time sitting on the shelf dust on it. And of coarse, it was gone. What are those odds. So when I read Megs killed Fast Finish, and many people liked it's quality/performance/ease of use/value points, including myself, I figured I should grab a few more than I had. Perfect timing local CT stores had them on 'clearance', great low price. Think I ended up getting about 5 of them.
Some of these great working products could have been ended due to ingredients that were deemed bad, but worked great. Kinda like NeoCitran, remember when it worked so good? Way better than whats on shelves now. Lol.of coarse that is a 'drug', think it was PPA they took out????

It does come down to sales. The bottom line is what tells the company wether or not to continue it or kill it off.
And that always gets me to thinking about companies like Collinite who do ZERO advertising, yet keep churning out excellent products since 1936.
I guess if you don't spend millions on advertising, and just have a small line of products, then it simplifies things.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Remember CD2 ENGINE DETAILER? That was the go-to back in day. Everybody ran out and bought up the remaining stock once they found out it was discontinued.
