NE Ohio, kinda wanna keep it under $50 for enough for 6-7 vehicles. Have some Collinite 915 but already know what that does.

- FK1000P
- Collinite 915
- Jescar Powerlock
- New McKees Paint Coating
- Gyeon Can Coat (wonder how many Ford Rangers I can get outta a bottle?)
- Something else?

Would prefer an LSP that can be machine applied because, well...I`m lazy.

Could just hose `em down with Wetcoat or has McKees come out with similar?

Will give `em a quick Foam, Decon, probably a quick once over w/ M101 and Flex 3401

Was considering an AIO (instead of compounding) but no HD Speed cuz that`s got no longevity in my experience. McKees 360? Megs 166? How aggressive are those, some of these trucks kinda beat, not going for perfection 70% correction would be fine by me. Looking for quick, low effort.

Anything anyone wants to see how it works/holds up? Trucks will just be parked in back lot from now until March most likely. Would like to try something new to me...

Based on your list, the only ones I have experience with are Power lock, Can Coat and Collininte

I would opt for the can coat for durability, crazy beading and looks and Colinite for economy and 2nd durability.

I would guess you could get 3 cars minimum out of the can coat aerosol. I have the new pump spray package in my garage but have not used it
I cant speak for the products I have not used.

Hydro Blue would be an option by McKees

Could try Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/meguiars-ultimate-fast-finish.html#.WcE6_MiGOM8) and see how you like it. I tried it for inlaws car but have no clue how long it lasted I just used ti because its easy and cheep.

If I wanted to do a machine wax I would try Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Paste Wax 15 oz. (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/finish-kare-hi-temp.html#.WcE8l8iGOM8) , i have never heard anything bad about it and its cheap.

Regulars here know what I`d recommend for the LSP (trashmanssd beat me to it anyhow :D ), and FWIW for an AIO I`d use Zaino`s.

Can Coat would be a nice, easy choice; still have some unopened in my cabinet

Now there`s something I didn`t think of..even easier!

Perhaps I`ll try two different; from cost perspective, hard to beat.

Really wanna try this based on everyone saying it`s great.

Did you just actually just utter the `Z`-word?

Crap...I see myself being drawn down the rabbit hole again...

If you really want to try the Z aio I`ll send you some, think I have a bottle or part of one. Got some Klasse aio also. If you really want to do some testing.

The ZAIO is the only thing of theirs I`ve ever used, other than the old Z16 for my tires. The tiny bit of cut might be beneficial in this case, otherwise I`d just say to use the KAIO because it seems to play nice with most anything. The ZAIO works fine under FK1000P, but I don`t like using it on exterior plastics (prefer the KAIO for that).

I`d dial back my Inner Autopian and aim for the biggest return on time/effort. Wouldn`t use pricey stuff, wouldn`t use anything that`s not user-friendly, wouldn`t use anything that won`t last a long time.

Thanks...still have some, it`s the only Z item I saved for some reason...

Hmmm..never used Klasse for anything, could be interesting.

IMO it`s handy stuff to have around...pretty much OK on any surface and compatible with any LSP I use. Very user-friendly (use a damp applicator) by hand or machine. Just don`t expect it to last (on its own) or do correction, or fill, or strip polishing oils.
