    Traverse

    Dear Forum Members...today I did a friend's Traverse. I believe it's a 2017 and unfortunately is not garaged, but worse - it sits under a tree most of the day/night. It was covered in sap, tree mold and tree "worms" (those little things that look like worms - not sure what they are called). Anyway the paint was near lifeless, but came alive after 8 hours. First pic is the before, and the rest "after".

    Meg Gold Class Wash
    Mckee's Foaming Wheel Cleaner
    Griot's Rubber Cleaner (for tires)
    Megs Clay
    Griot's Speed Shine (as lub)
    Griot's Fast Correcting Cream (orange LC pads)
    Griot's Correcting Cream (white LC pads)
    McKee's Coating Prep Paint Polish
    McKee's 37 Paint Coating
    Stoner Tire Shine
    Stoner's Clean/Repel Glass Cleaner
    Stoner's Leather Cleaner/Conditioner
    Griuot's Engine Cleaner
    McKee's Headlight Polish and Sealant

    Hope everyone is having a nice Memorial Day weekend. Let's remember Monday for it's real reason - the men and women of our military that gave everything. God Bless them!

    Nice save on that, Scotty!
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Scott...is the McKee's Paint Coating as easy to work with as they claim, simply spray, wipe, and buff....after of course applying the paint coating prep.

    It’s quite easy to work with - as are other coatings. As you alluded to - most of the work is the prep work but that is also the case prior to any LSP really - you want as perfect a surface as your time, skills and tools will allow. Application of McKees is easy and the only thing I would stress is to ensure you buff out (by hand) to avoid high or ‘sponge spots’ - spots where the applicator is heavy with product when you lift it off the paint.
