Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Can we mix a little Paint Protect and Ultimate Quick Wax to increase the durability of UQW?

Great idea for those of us who like experimenting! Perhaps someone should try it out and see what happens.

We wouldn't recommend this. UQW is a fantastic "maintenance" type product with surprising durability for a spray wax. Your best bet would be to use Paint Protect as intended, and add some UQW following your regular wash routine.

How well will it work and last on windows?

We don't recommend it on glass, primarily due to people's almost natural tendency to overuse wax. Do that on the windshield and you just know things are going to streak badly at night, in the rain - when you least want that sort of thing.

That said, we hear all the time about people using UQW on glass and loving it. That would probably be a better choice.

Pretty exciting product. Question, 1 bottle of 365 is enough for how many cars?

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Sounds very exciting, even if it won't be known as the king of shine. I understand the durability of the water beading should be incredible but how well will it stand up to environmental issues such as bird droppings, sap or even road tar and such?

It would be nice to get a coat on before winter or in winter. Sure feels like winter already with the salt and buildup.
When it hits the market I will break a jackson and throw a coat on. Shouldn't be to much of a problem since I bought a torpedo heater.
I want to see how it compares to ULW and 845 in winter.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Does this product have a "slick" surface feel to it seeing that it's a polymer or is it "grabby" like most of the coatings currently on the market? (The exceptions are Optimums gloss-coat and Car's Bullet proof). Will this offer any UV protection for a vehicle that sits out 24/7?

Looks like a very interesting and affordable product...

I can confirm it is indeed slick. I currently have it on my hood 50/50 with Ultimate Paste Wax. I did a rinseless wash with D114 and the 365 side was noticably slicker than the UW side of my hood. The reflections are slightly sharper on the Ultimate Wax side.



It beads too.

Cool, great pics.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

How does this stuff compare in the shine department? I know the shine comes from polishing. Just want to make sure Im not dulling my shine when I add this stuff as a final wipe.

Nice update. The beading looks great. I meant to ask you how it's been holding up.

Seeing it first hand applied to the hood in the previous photo it won't dull the paint. Ultimate wax has more gloss to it.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Ah , yes.. Even more choices these days…
Before, paint sealant is topped with carnauba wax for the best of both worlds.. Great protection and crisp reflections offered by the sealant, great depth from the carnauba. Thanks to Meguiars, now we have another option.. Great protection and crisp reflections from the sealant, even more protection (not so much added shine) offered by paint protect 365. Plus, even more choices with the advent of synthetic+carnauba LSP’s…
And thanks to the Paint Protect 365, I may just stick with Meguiars waxes and sealants..

Availability?

Where is this available?
I've looked on Detailed Image Autogeek and Meguiar's online direct. Is it at retail brick and mortar?
