Paint Protect

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Is this the same product that was introduced in Asia several years ago? I almost asked someone to pick me up some of that and send it to me.

Here is an odd question, but I am serious. Can I wax my shower with this? I am looking for some way to help keep my shower clean (really want this for my car, shower is side-issue). I tried a standard wax years ago, but it does not hold up again bar soap and shampoo.

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

detailing.com shows availability of this product as: "On backorder. Ships in approximately 2-9 business days." I'll be stopping in at at their store location in Irvine, CA sometime today and will see if they have any additional information on availability and post here again later.

Typical mass market retailers have to "reset shelves" before placing new items, and that usually happens in late January or February. Internet retailers don't have this constraint so it's easier for them to make new products available sooner - like as soon as they ship. That means places like amazon, autogeek, autodetailingsolutions, detailing, etc will generally have it available first. I don't know that this particular product has actually hit the distribution center just yet (I'm out of the office for a couple weeks on vacation) but if it isn't yet, it should be quite soon. Last I heard all the new products should be shipping by end of December and, well, we're pretty much there now, aren't we??

No, not the same product as M188 Deep Crystal Coating that we market only in Asia - far, far from it as a matter of fact. The only thing they share is the Meguiar's brand on the packaging, nothing more.

As for using it on your shower walls, go for it. We know plenty of people who have used Cleaner Wax via DA polisher to clean their shower walls and even glass doors. Obviously this won't clean like Cleaner Wax will, but it will be far more durable. If you do decide to treat your shower to an application of Paint Protect, please let us know how it goes. Oh, and we're sure this goes without saying, but please don't apply it to the floor of the shower stall or tub.

Michael,

Would you be able to tell me the difference between the M188 and the paint protect 365? Just curious.

I will keep you posted on the shower. Might try next weekend if I can get the product.

EDIT: Sorry if I missed it, but what are the lower and upper temperature ranges to apply this product? I've used UWP high 90s and near freezing, not sure this will be so flexible. Thankfully I don't live in a frozen region anymore

Ordered mine! $7 and change shipped!

Then I turned around and ordered the new 5" thin pads and a new backing plate! Next up is the new buffer!

Wish ads still got all the new Meg's stuff. This is the first year in probably 5-6 years that I didn't get a ads gift certificate for Christmas.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Just ordered from AutoGeek. I can't wait to give this a shot!

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Ordered! So, Mr. Stoops, it seems it is ok to apply ultimate wax, give it a day to cure, and then apply paint protect over the ultimate for a best of both worlds approach?

Thanks.

You could but then paint protect becomes your sacrificial barrier and who knows how long it will last on top of another wax. I would just polish and use this and be done. No toppers either and not even a spray wax.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

I have this on its way. I hope it works well. I want to try it on my daughters car.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

I ordered some as well. Going to use it on my brothers car when my new MT 300 arrives.

Theoretically, yes, but............

Honestly, this is the way we'd go with it. Either stick with Paint Protect or stick with Ultimate, whichever you prefer. We aren't really sure what "best of both worlds" with these two products is since it's not like topping a synthetic with a carnauba where visual characteristics can be quite different.
