Thanks, Their site is quite large. I watched some videos and ordered the High def paint sealant and some microsoft towels. I didn't know that Mckee worked for autogeek and that it was sold. I bought much from AG and liked their products but noticed a little change in the product recently. Glad I found out about Mckees 37 on this site.
Thanks

I used the P21 Carnauba wax recently and its a great finishing wax...car is newer and paint in good shape.

Years ans years ago, I detailed cars and while plenty of new products have come out (I use Griot and one Chemical guys protect) One I continually go back to as a "cleaner" wax is 3M. (they own Meguiers for those that didn't know)

Works better on slightly older cars, but does fantastic job on swirls marks, blemishes and acid rain. They also have a machine wax if prefer, but twice/3 times a year, I use this on flat spots (can do back and forth and not circular) and finish with P21 or finish wax. (dont have too, but makes finish a bit nicer)Takes minutes and looks almost as good as others more advance/time consuming processes. Works great on softer paints - Their Hand glaze is good too, but prefer P21

Carpro Cquartz or Gtechniq crystal serum light both are ceramic coating. I personally use Gtechniq C2V3 it's easy to apply and protects for 6 to 8 months.

I use Meguiar's Gold Class Carnauba Plus Premium Paste Wax. A bit of a pain in the neck to buff off, but lasts a long time.

Wouldn't be surprised if it goes more than a year.

If you don't mind spending once or twice a month waxing the car, then I have had pretty good results with Maguires ultimate liquid wax. Collinite was pretty good too but was more of a pain to apply vs ultimate liquid wax.

I just actually purchased CQuartz 3.0 and a bottle of Reload in a kit for $80 on Amazon. It's kind of a pain to properly ceramic coat a car, but it saves the $1500+ paying someone else to do it! I'll be doing this in a couple weeks.

Used Gtechniq C5 on my new wheels, helps with cleaning.
