    Mckee's Coating Prep Polish - Off label use

    Hello everyone, not too long ago I was told that Mckee's Coating Prep Polish could be used to deep clean certain hard exterior plastics such as the wheel well guards on Toyota Tacoma's...

    Well I decided to give it a try today and wow it sure did work and worked pretty amazing! I don't think I've ever been able to prep this hard plastic trim anywhere near this good in previous efforts using APC or other plastic cleaners.

    Check out these 50/50 shots.



    Btw, the trim has fully dried at this point. The Coating Prep Polish removed all the oxidation using a terry applicator pad by hand.



    I forgot who gave me this tip, but thank you! I thought I'd pass it along for anyone who has this sort of oxidized hard non porus trim in rough shape... I can't wait to clean the rest of it and see much better results and longevity once I coat it with a spray aerosol.

    This is the Prep Polish I used.

    Coating Prep Polish, clear coat polish, best car polish

    Thanks for sharing!

    Certainly answers the question "Does it stain trim" if anyone was wondering!

    Seriously huh? The 1st thing you usually think is to keep polish off trim, but the cleaning ability of this stuff opens up some possibilities now. That trim has never looked looked that good before dressing/coating it.

    Thanks for posting this Eldo 2K

    I have the previous version when it was DP Coating Prep so I assume it will be the same results.
    When you are done with the Prep, what are you using for a coating on the trim?

    It's actually is the DP version that I used, thx to The Guz who hooked me up back when I needed to re apply Mckee's Coating on my paint.

    On that trim I like to use Meguiars D4510 Plastic & Vinyl Coating aerosol, works great on it.
