Must have products 2016

**Calendyr** · 03-12-2016, 01:18 AM

Ok just need some suggestions on things to buy for my pre-season order.

The 3 things I am buying for sure are:
1. CarPro Essence
2. CarPro Reload
3. McKee's AIO Headlight Polish (Formelly Detailler Pro)

Now, I still have not decided on a Coating for this year. I am leaning towards McKee's Paint coating (formelly Detailler Pro)... but I am unsure. Has anyone used this product and can comment on it? 30$ for 4 ounces and it can do 4-5 vehicles. To me that is a great value. The protection is listed as 2 years so that puts it in the CQuartz and Opti-Gloss range but at a fraction of the price.

Any new products that you feel are must have?

I have all the needed products except a coating. So no need to recommend existing products from previous years.

This is business purposes btw.

Are you buying the 250ml or 500ml bottle of Essence? I've heard there's a shelf life on this product. Is that true?

I will order the largest size available. I don't know what the shelf life is but I would assume there is one since it contains a coating and these products are usually in a sealed container like a syringe to prevent contact of the product with air. Since Essence comes in a normal bottle, air must be curing the coating over time Inside the bottle.

Anyhow for me the problem with a smaller bottle would be that it usually takes 2 weeks to receive my orders from Autogeek being in Canada. I was hoping to order from E-Shine but they don't have what I need in stock... heck it's not even listed on their website

Just read a good review for McGee's coating... I think I will pull the trigger on that tomorrow.

So Correcting Cream over Fast Correcting Cream?

Personally, I'm looking forward to picking up some Fast Correcting Cream along with the Boss microfiber pads, that way, if and when I run into some super hard paint, I'll be prepared for it.

With you going with Essence i chose correcting cream cause you will get more cut but can finish lsp ready. If there is any hazing from correction cream then the finishing sealant will take care of it plus leave protectiin as well.

If you already plan on getting fast correction cream then just get the whole pad and cream line up. You wont regret it. Yes i am on a huge Griots B.O.S.S. kick right now. Have used the system only a few times with my GG6 and i am blown away. Also check out the Mckee line. Used them on the 1940 Ford and got a bottle of fast polish i am playing with at work and really like it

So are you saying you'd rather play it safe and deal with any possible hazing left by Correcting Cream with either Finishing Sealant or Essence rather than chance them not being able to remove the hazing left by Fast Correcting Cream?

Yes I am. If you need more cut step up the aggressiveness of the pad. Correction Cream should still finish nice with more aggressive pad and if pad leaves any hazing Finishing Sealant should take care of it.
