    Putting some Fleet vehicles away for winter, which LSP?

    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...

    Re: Putting some Fleet vehicles away for winter, which LSP?

    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.

    If I wanted to do a machine wax I would try Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Paste Wax 15 oz. , 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 ), 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

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

    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.

    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.
