Paint Protect

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Got mine and have started the application. I am applying after clay (white) and two coats of #7.

So far looks good, although the #7 is doing most of the heavy lifting for looks.

Application is ridiculously easy.

Hope it lasts. Really don't want to apply #7 again...

Been away for some time, and i can't believe this thread has blown to 14 pages now.


I am curious if this product has any UV protection?
I'm concern with headlights yellowing, and want something that adds to it. I know there is "headlight protectant", but curious about Paint Protection.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

I think somewhere in this thread Michael says that it does have UV protection.

Yep, it definitely has UV protection. While you certainly can use it on your headlights, there are better things out there for that. Like our new Perfect Clarity Headlight Restoration Kit and the aerosol protectant spray it includes.

How does the spray compare to the liquid version of head light protectant? Same stuff or?

I'm curious as to how well this product will withstand washing at a coin-op car wash. I seem to recall that the detergents used there are more harsh than standard car wash soap.

I had a chance to play around with this on a small exterior panel. A little goes a long away. It spread out real easy. It removes very easily and it left the surface very slick.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Just finished waxing/coating my 2015 white Toyota 4Runner with Paint Protect. A VERY small amount goes a long way. 3-4 small drops would easily cover the entire hood. To cover my entire SUV I would say that I used 1/40 of the bottle. The directions say it will not dry to a haze like normal waxes and I believe it. I am not sure the stuff would ever dry. I wiped it off after 5-10 minutes. It took probably 4x as many microfiber towels to buff it off compared to normal waxes because wax eventually dries where this stuff doesn't seem to. I may have used too much. I have never seen a product where so little goes so far. It has no noticeable smell. It has the consistency of water. It is without a doubt the slipperiest stuff I have ever seen. 1 drop of this stuff on your shower floor and you will be in the hospital. It did not appear to hide any defects, but Meguiars never claimed it would. I did use it on the black trim. So far the black trim looks like a freshly dressed tire and there is zero white residue anywhere. I'll let the Paint Protect sit and cure for a while and we'll see what happens.

I would suggest a redesign to the bottle if the opportunity presents itself... This stuff is super slick... By the time you get some on your hands and a little on the bottle... You will find it hard to hold on to the bottle. I wrapped my bottle in a microfiber just to keep from dropping it. The bottle needs a slip-resistant surface.

Hope this helps someone here... Remember it goes a loooog way.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

I did my Jeep last weekend and I agree. A little goes a long way and very slick feeling. I wear nitrile gloves but agree the bottle gets hard to hold. Maybe mold the bottle with a handle.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Hey guys, I have read a few reviews on Autogeek's product page and I had a member on YouTube comment in my video saying they are seeing better repellency out of it, one even mentions better repellency than the ICE in my test. If you have applied this, please give it a rinsedown and share your experience here. I would hate to have my video showcase results from this product that aren't typical for most other users.

Mike
Would you recommend using 365 in a spray bottle or would this apply to much product?

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Picked up a bottle today at AutoZone--$9.99

Mike--do you think it would be OK to apply PP with an air temp of 42-44 degrees?? Perhaps letting it cure a little longer than 3-5 minutes???

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

So, Im about to detail a black z06. Paint is pretty bad due to the car has been sitting for the past 3 years outside. I plan on using m105, then to m205. But my question is do I use my black wax then to the 365 or just skip the wax and apply the 365???? Also, what pad should be used with the 365?

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

No ned for the Black Wax in that case.

Exactly this. Seal the paint after M205 and be done.
