McKee's 37 mini-rant
Hey guys,
I purchased a bottle of McKee's Paint Coating and a bottle of Coating prep polish last year and was only able to try them today.
So, before doing the application, I watched a video on Youtube where Mike and some other guy explain how to use the coating and prep polish. First thing that jumped to my attention was that Mike mentions this coating can last up to a year with proper care...A year? When I purchased it last year it was stated in the product description that this a was a 2 year+ coating. So really not happy about this one. I have sealants that can last a year with proper maintenance, so this is not really a coating to me.
Second thing, when I started using the coating prep polish, IT STAINS PLASTICS! What the hell? I was forced to bust out a brush and super degreaser to clean the plastic parts afterwards. It seems to work ok on paint but if I need a completelly different paint prep product to do the plastic, why would I bother with this product?
So my first experience with those 2 products were less than satisfactory, will definatelly not buy them again.

The 1 year mention in the video is incorrect ("typo" if you will). Coating Prep Polish is designed for paint. Where does it say on the bottle or the website about using it on plastic?
Have you tried the products for their intended application yet??

Re: McKee's 37 mini-rant
I have used this Coating (DP lab ) and it is ok, but it's so easy to apply that I can't complain. Now the prep polish staining plastics? That's weird to me because I actually use it to revitalize smooth, non textured trim. I feel it works easier/better for trim than it does on the paint.
Also a fellow member (Eldorado2k) has a thread on here with pictures of what it did to the fender trim on a Tacoma.

I second this. I have cleaned lots of trim with it as well. In fact I created a thread when it was released noting how well it cleaned stained trim.
Back to the full-time grind.

It was from your thread that made me try it on he trim. Believe you said you got a lil on some trim and when you wiped it off, the trim looked good. I've been using it on Bpillars that have black vinyl, matte wheels, smooth trim. I usually top with PNS or BSD for added protection. Thanks again for sharing that thread.

Yup.
Not sure what it does on textured trim, but on smooth plastic & b pillars the stuff is sweet.

Re: McKee's 37 mini-rant
Like a cleaner wax, or a paint cleanser of any kind, it will stain rubber trim or textured plastic. I doubt Bob Mckee would put his name on any product that is not well made for its intended purpose.

"Some Other Guy" speaks!!
I've used the McKee's 37 Paint coating and had great results with it. I just need to use a different applicator because I didn't like the Lake Country one.
