Paint Protect

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Ok, so just losing a bit of gloss to get longer life through winter. No extra risk of staining, etching, etc not using the ult wax.

That pretty well sums it up.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Mr Stoops, I think this is a great product for us folks that live in areas that have brutal winters and we typically go 4-6 months without any way to rewax. I have another question; because this product is so extremely durable will it cause an issue 4-6 months later in the spring when we want to go back to using a regular wax? Like is it so durable that when we go to rewax the remaining wax will be so firmly bonded that it will take extra compounding etc to get off.

Compounding will take it off, no worries about that. Heck, compounding will take off a true paint coating, so even those aren't an issue if you want them gone. If, after old man winter has moved out and you want to refresh your vehicle for spring, just do what you've always done. Wash, clay, compound, polish, wax - you'll take off the remains of this product with that full process; you can't just wash it off like you can with most waxes.

Mike, can it be used on black plastic trim and rubber on exterior surfaces? Is there a cur time for topping with glaze or wax?

It won't stain trim so that's not an issue. If you really want to top it, it would be best to give it the typical 12-24 our cure time first.

This product will NOT be for sale at TNOG next week, nor will any of the other new products. They were just introduced today and will be shipping most likely in early December.

As previously stated, this product is not about gloss but rather protection. Ultimate Wax and NXT should prove a bit glossier but this will easily out last them, hands down.

Wow! The only bad thing I see: With the usual delays, it will be over here in Germany next summer, so I won't get to use it on the spouse's car before next year's winter prep. But even then, I have high hopes

Sounds like it will be a good product for people (even detailers) who hate to wax their cars ... in my case I hate to detail my wife's Explorer, it's just too big and the trim is a mess to try and keep wax out/off of.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

This sounds like another must have!!

Can't wait to see some reviews...

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

I really wish Megs didn't make a long lasting product that's very easy to use (at the very least). It gives many (like me or maybe just me) a reason to wax/protect my car more often than needed... It seems to be as easy to use as Ultimate Quik Wax or Ultimate Quik Detailer...

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Looks like this is a great product for areas like Ohio where we have a brutal winter and 4-6 months straight can't possibly rewax and having the best shine is not a problem. Mr Stoops I have a few questions, I see the protection lasts a lot longer then traditional products like ultimate wax and NXT wax, but is the level of protection at least as good? Also what level of prep do we need to do to the surface first, like clay and cleaner to get this product to properly adhere and would using a cleaner wax first and then topping it with this product create an issue with it adhering? Would using a pure polish before using this product cause an issue with adherence?

Prep has been discussed - nothing any different than what you already is appropriate for any other wax or sealant. Protection isn't any better (ie stronger) than other waxes, it just lasts a crazy long time.

Yeah, I'm curious about the protection... is it just for water beading, or a good protection against bird droppings, sap, etc as well?

See above - it's not a coating so we won't say it's super resistant to bird droppings and other severe attacks, but durability is extreme.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

I think this will be another great Meg's product! I'm not liking applying it over another product as some have mentioned. This is the durable product,so if anything, apply this first. Personally, I think I will apply it and probably "top" with UQW. I think this will be a killer combo.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

No reason at all why could not use it on wheels. Viscosity, as mentioned, is extremely thin so dispensing is through a pinhole top under the cap.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

I'm thinking that since no special prep/IPA wipe downs is in order but certainly wouldn't hurt and maybe give that just a little more lasting protection, A 3 step of clay/ cleaning/ PP365 is going to be the new combo and use UQW as the topper for one of the best finish possible along with the durability for the Go to standard for Meguiars

Do have a couple ideal's about application and just wondering how thin this product is? Consistency such as #7 Show Car Glaze?
