    Dedicatedperfection: Mineral White Metallic 3 series sedan McKee’s 37 makeover

    I received a phone call Friday afternoon last minute to see if I had room to take care of this vehicle the following day on Saturday. As this person is a friend of a friend and drove over an hour this way, I moved another client to take this job on. Luckily I had no problems shuffling vehicles around.

    I had one full day to knock this one out from interior cleanup, dress/protect vinyl, leather, rubber, and plastics to transforming the exterior and applying a coating. The total transformation lasted 10 hours and by the time I was finished I was whooped from this one.

    Upon receiving the car from the owner she could not believe the transformation and that it was still her car. She could not believe the level of glass the car now possessed. She was very thrilled to have her baby brought back to life.


    Interior:
    Vacumed out with Shop-Vac
    Dash and door panels cleaned up with Pinnacle Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner Conditioner
    Leather surfaces cleaned up with McKee’s 37 Total Interior Cleaner
    Leather surfaces protected with McKee’s 37 Interior Surface Protectant

    Wheels and wells:
    Wheels Cleaned up with McKee’s 37 Foaming wheel Cleaner Gel
    Tires Cleaned with McKee’s 37 Tire & Rubber Rejuvenator
    Wheel Wells Cleaned with McKee’s 37 Cleanse all Exterior Cleaner

    Wash:
    HP rinse to knock off loose dirt
    Pre foamed with CarPro Iron-X Snow Soap and left to dwell
    HP rinse to remove Snow Soap
    Bugs removed with McKee’s 37 Road Kill Bug Remover & Bug Scrubber
    Foamed with McKee’s 37 Xtreme Foam Formula Soap
    Washed via 2BM, Grit Gaurds, & McKee’s 37 Xtreme Foam Soap
    HP chassis rinse with Kärcher chassis cleaner

    Decontamination:
    Decontaminated with CarPro Trix
    Clayed with Nano skin medium grade pad via 3401 and Meguiar’s D155 LT
    Smaller areas with Nano skin medium foam hand sponge & Meguiar’s D155

    Correction:
    One step polish with FLEX XFE, white LC Thin Pro pads and McKee’s 37 Fast Compound
    Smaller areas with 3M 3” pneumatic DA, 4” Meguiar’s 8204 yellow pads
    Coating prep with McKee’s 37 Coating prep polish & FLEX XFE & black pad.
    McKee’s 37 Paint Coating applied via LC Coating applicators.

    Miscellaneous:
    Tires dressed with McKee’s 37 Tire Gel
    Trim protected with BLACKFIRE AIO Trim & Tire
    Windows Cleaned with Wolfgang Perfekt vision glass cleaner
    Exhaust cleaned with Pinnacle Exhasut Cleaner & Brightener
    Door jambs/trunk jamb cleaned up with McKee’s 37 Cleanse All Exterior Cleaner and loose dirt blasted away via Tornador Black

    Great Work Mike.

    How will you rate Mckee's Coating w.r.t. ease of application.
    Say from 0 - 10. With 10 being the easiest.

    Thanks

    Thanks Marc!! For sure!

    Incredibly smooth. Will get into more details when I officially review it.

    Really impressed with the ease of use.

    Without a doubt, 10.

    Thanks Ian! Will do on on the XFE when I officially review it.

    Sure is. This combo does not work for me. I think the coral red leather would look great on a Le Mans Blue Metallic M Sport with aluminum trim.
