Paint Protect 365 review

Re: Paint Protect 365 review

1 coat is all that is really needed. 2 coats is recommended by Meguiar's to ensure even coverage. You will not gain any extra protection by adding more coats.

A glaze will not remove paint protect. So something like M7 will not. An abrasive polish or cleaner wax will remove it and you will have to reapply.

Thanks. Appreciate the reply.

Re: Paint Protect 365 review

Hello guys. I have a question and hopefully a Meguiars team will answer. Maybe it's been brought up before but there's a LOT of pages in this section. I've been using Meguiar's as long as I can remember and when I read about the Paint Protect , I thought I'd give it a try. I've put on about 3 coats so far each after 2 days of curing. Great stuff.
My question is, I tend to over detail my car. Will polish or glaze remove Paint Protect ? I would think so but I thought I'd ask. Does one need to reapply Paint Protect after each time it is polished ??

Re: Tree Sap Protection

Does anyone know if 365 will temporarily prevent tree sap from damaging your clear coat?

All of Meguiar's Waxes & Sealants, including Paint Protect will provide a sacrificially barrier against elements of the environment. When it comes to harsh elements like tree sap or water spots, it is always going to be best to remove these ASAP.

Re: Paint Protect 365 review

I know Meguiars usually recommends a second coat on many of their LSP products to ensure even coverage. Would the same apply for PP365 after an initial 24 hour cure or would there be no point in doing so with this particular product?

I only went with one coat. But I typically only apply one coat. My application technique is a little different with PP365. I applied it as if it were a coating. I posted a video a couple pages back. I was able to get better coverage doing it this way.

If you feel you need a second coat then follow what Nick said below.

Yes, the same would apply for Paint Protect, a second coat, ideally after the first is fully cured, would ensure even coverage.

Hope this gives you an idea of getting in the nooks and crannies.

Thanks Guz

You're right, it does look pretty flexible..

Re: Paint Protect 365 review

Tonight when leaving the office I saw this. Car is parked facing south with the wind howling out of the west, right to left in the picture. Large beads from the TW coat and small beads from the PP 365. I noticed the wind had nearly cleared the downwind side but not the upwind side, interesting...

Thanks for that - I like the PP365 side better!

Re: Paint Protect 365 review

Interesting indeed.

But it doesn't look that great for getting into nooks & crannies. How did you find it in that regard Mike?

Hope this gives you an idea of getting in the nooks and crannies.

Last week whilst playing in the garage I TW coated my trunk lid (boot lid for all of our UK/AUS friends, er mates!) Afterwards I applied Paint Protect 365 to the left hand side of the trunk. I eye balled the trunk lid backup camera lens for center and did not use tape to separate the two sides.

Yesterday my vehicle got rained on. I snapped a quick pic of the trunk lid. I noticed the beading on the PP 365 side was far tighter than the right side.

I plan on leaving the trunk lid alone this winter, just washing it. This means no further spray wax, wax, rinseless wash with wax, detail spray, etc. until spring time. We'll see how this plays out.


BTW: Meguiar's, when are you coming out with a paint coating for the United States market?


Michael, my apologies for hijacking your thread. I meant to put this under the durability thread.

Not a problem. The beading looks good. I am in agreement with the coating.
