Paint Protect

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

I had similar issues with removal, but I was applying by hand. Thin coat. Curious what was the humidity like when you applied it?

Was not very humid. Even went for a 10 minute drive in the sun to take my son home. Looked at it again in the sun at lunch and you can still see some on the hood that has not been removed. Will wipe again tonight in garage when car is cool

^^ wow that's good beading. Better than others I've seen with PP365.

D156 on the hood. About a week old


PP365 on the roof. About a week old.

As far as the beading properties that I have seen so far with PP365, it is almost as good of beading as the CQuartz UK car I coated. I doubt it will keep up in the long run though.

Tried it on the weekend on my daily driver which is a dark grey Impala. it went on eazy but I could not get it to wipe off.

Tried it on the weekend on my daily driver which is a dark grey Impala. it went on eazy but I could not get it to wipe off. Put in on with a rotary buffer. Only sprayed the applicator pad once and did the whole car. Made the plastic look great. finally washed the vehicle a second time to get the product off so that it did not look smeared? Tried wiping off 4 times with different cloths? Finally washed a second time? Thought possibly too much product but it should have wiped off NO?

This is used in place of a wax.

It's applied like a wax but it doesn't haze. The bottle states it can be applied and removed within minutes. You can use it on those surfaces you listed.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Can this be used in place of wax or is wax supposed to be done also?

It says no rub, so how do you apply and take off if no rub.

Can or should this be applied to chrome and plastic chrome and cast aluminum stock wheels (motorcycle) not tires.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

I was having way more trouble than UW. Like having to chase residue down. Thought it was my towel at first, so I switched and got the same results.

It's rare that I get physically tired from taking off an LSP, but I was worn out last night. Going to grab a brand new applicator tonight and see if there was some cross contamination from the app I tried before.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

I noticed the removal to be a little more difficult than ultimate wax or M21 as it is on the more oily side.

Your beater looks better than 90% of the cars out there!

Strange about the removal of the product...

Thanks. The car has been in the family since new and I've always been the one to take care of it. It's far from perfect, but well maintained.

I'm almost wondering if my applicator was contaminated with another product. It was a clean app, but I've used it with another sealant before... I still haven't touched the hood. Maybe I will grab a new applicator and see if it does it again.

Looking good. Keep us updated on how long it lasts.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Decided to detail the daily beater last night and picked up some PP365 to try out on it.

It turned out nice. A few comments:
It was almost like my applicator was catching and dragging on the surface. Way different feeling than when using a wax or sealant.
It was a bear to remove. I found the longer I left it the easier it was. Humidity was a bit more than normal yesterday here in CO. Could have played a role in that. It made me work for it.
Seems to look decent on trim. I'll see if that is just the carrier oils though in a week or so when I wash it again.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Got a chance to try the PP 365 today. Very easy to apply and wipe off and for that this product receives a 10 out of 10 rating. PP does seem a bit on the oily side when you apply, but after 5 minutes it wiped off effortlessly. Prior to waxing I polished the vehicle, which is a darker red color with Ultimate Polish and then used Ultimate Paste Wax on all but one half of the trunk which I used PP 365 in a comparison. I have to say if the UPW is supposed to leave a glossier finish than PP 365, than my eyes can't see it. No doubt some of gloss is due to the polish i applied before hand, but IMO they looked equal. The PP felt like a slicker finish after wipe off IMO.

For $10 It's a no-brainer for me.

Nice, keep us updated with durability comparisons!
