    Coatings?

    So im pretty new to coatings and all i know bout them is just that they are available. So my question is which one is the better one to try out as a beginner with them and why you recommend it. I live in north central USA where we have drastic changes of weather and sometimes it seems to be in the same day. Also should the paint be cleaned after polishing with a product to remove anything left behind from wiping off with mf towel that the naked eye cant see. Any advice will be greatly appreciated .

    And if there is a thread on this i`m sorry but i didn`t see one.

    Re: Coatings?

    Another vote for the Mckee. Great price and very easy to apply.

    I`m a noob at coatings and this is the only one I`ve used, I was worried in was going to mess it up...but it ended up being so easy that I applied a second coat just so that I could play with it more.

    I gotta go with Kamakaze or Gyeon prime. Both very easy. Yes you should wipe the surface down with the coating manufacturers recommended product.

    Re: Coatings?

    While we are on the subject of coatings, I have only heard of them a couple days ago. So questions are running through my head, but its something I would look into in the future. But I am wondering, If I had applied a coating to my car, and then something happened to it and it needed body work and to be re-painted? Sounds like it would be awfully difficult to remove in order to paint. I don`t know how thoroughly a wax and grease remover will work and may result in fish eyes and such. I realizes the areas are sanded and filled etc, but painting goes way beyond the damaged area in order to blend it in well with the rest of the car. Surely that entire area would not be sanded. What do you all think?

    Re: Coatings?

    I`ve missed the boat on coatings. I remember when they first came out (or at least started up on the forums), and you had to know a pro detailer who knew the super secret handshake just to let them apply it for you. LOL. From a personal standpoint, I was never really interested, and from an enthusiast standpoint, I never understood them since most people here like to try out as many new products as possible. Nice to see it`s a lot easier for those who want to try them to be able to get them, and quite a large selection at that.
    I still don`t believe in grit guards.
