Paint Protect 365 review

Re: Paint Protect 365 review

If you read my first post you will see that I fully prepped the hood of my car prior to using it. I even stripped the polishing oils from M205.

I forgot that part, it's been so long since I read it.

Interesting ..I thought it was supposed to be a final top layer. Hummmm. Not sure I would bother buying it if it is deigned to go under UPW. Thanks for your reply.

It's designed to be used a stand alone product. Not to be used a s a topper for anything else. Could you do it? Sure. But then you would not get the full longevity of the product. We all know the gloss comes from the paint prep. Why bother topping it? It would be a waste to top it. By doing so you have changed the surface tension to that of the topper.

So with this PP365 just clay, polish and seal. Your maintenance would be a simple wash and dry. PP365 will not alter the paint in any form. Meaning it will not darken or add shine. If you want shine this is not the product for you. On a light colored car one will not notice.

The Wally World near me doesn't have it either, but I would like to see how it works as a stand alone after the car has received a full paint prep. You figure Meguiar's designed it for the non-enthusiast who will never prep their paint so I wonder how it will work on a fully prepped surface.

Re: Paint Protect 365 review

I am still looking for this stuff. While I would not use this as a stand alone product, I would like to try it over UPW and see what happens.

I have seen it at every auto parts store I have been to in the past month...
Not sure that it is intended to be the top layer as that would degrade longevity and would negate the look of the UPW.
I would PP365 as the base and layer UPW on top of it.

Re: Paint Protect 365 review

I have it, but haven't tested it on a vehicle yet.

I am curious to hear your thoughts when you get to use it.

I just picked some up last week and used it on my white F150. It haven't seen wax in some time, I am curious to see how it holds up.

Let us know how it works out for you.

Re: Paint Protect 365 review

I almost hit it with D156 when I was using it as a drying aid. I caught myself lol. I have no problem letting it go to see how it looks as the weeks go by. The rain was heavy this time do the drops were fairly large. But so far it's still on the paint.



That pretty good and durable. Did you ever get PP365?

Re: Paint Protect 365 review

Thanks for the update Guz. The beading looks ok after 6 weeks.
I'd be interested to see what it looks like at the 2, 3, 4 month mark. That's if you can control yourself and not put anything else on it during that time! I know I probably couldn't!

Thanx for the info.

I am impressed with Hydro2, it lasted 5 months through a horrible winter for me.

Re: Paint Protect 365 review

It's not as smooth after the initial application but still smooth. For me personally it tends to start to sheet rather than bead when I wash. The sheeting is a little slower as well.

I wanted to show that it has lasted at least a month. Some have claimed that it has failed within a month. So far it's still on the paint.

Hydro2 is a cool product. Great for a detailer who needs a quick detail.

Re: Paint Protect 365 review

Does the paint still feel slick and smooth after washing? Beeding isn't the end all of test to show a products protection abilities, but on the other hand we all love our beeds.

Check this out from Hydro2, not to hijack but I was very impressed. It was still going strong as of last week on the top of the car, not so much the lower panels and doors.

Re: Paint Protect 365 review

I forgot to post these. This was back on 3/2/2015 when it rained over night. This is the morning after. This is the beading after 5 days of initial application back on 2/24/2015.










Got some rain today. Here is the beading of paint protect on the hood. I have not topped it with anything else or used any soap with wax on it. I've only used hyper wash and mostly D114. I originally applied it back on 2/24/2015. 42 days after application.
