Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Washed the car and wheels today and cleaned the wheels with Griots Paint Prep, dried well and applied PP. Put a small amount in an atomizer spray bottle which made it great to spread it evenly on a B&S red hand applicator pad. Only took two sprays per wheel. Since it was 45 degrees in the garage let it cure for an hour before wiping off--no problems removing and the wheels are slick as eel snot. Now just wait and see how it holds up.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

I had some time before I went to work to use 365. I polished out the hood on my daily driver with M205, followed by DP Prep Polish to remove the oils from M205 and then applied 365. DP Prep Polish is optional. I am just curious to see how it bonds to paint with no polishing oils on it.

Unfortunately my daily sits outside so it will not get the 24 hour cure in an enclosed area. The good thing is that it is 71 degrees here today so hopefully the sun's heat will cure it a little quicker. The low for tonight is 52 degrees. Looks like there is a 10% chance of rain this friday and saturday but that usually means it won't rain. That's the benefit of living in Southern California.

Anyone who has tried PP 365 have a durability updated? How is it holding up?

I don't know where the heck I have been at just now reading about this new product and wanting to try it out. Glad to know I can go to Autozone and get it. I haven't made it through all of threads yet but I like what this offers.

No ned for the Black Wax in that case.

Exactly this. Seal the paint after M205 and be done.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

So, Im about to detail a black z06. Paint is pretty bad due to the car has been sitting for the past 3 years outside. I plan on using m105, then to m205. But my question is do I use my black wax then to the 365 or just skip the wax and apply the 365???? Also, what pad should be used with the 365?

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Picked up a bottle today at AutoZone--$9.99

Mike--do you think it would be OK to apply PP with an air temp of 42-44 degrees?? Perhaps letting it cure a little longer than 3-5 minutes???

Mike
Would you recommend using 365 in a spray bottle or would this apply to much product?

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Hey guys, I have read a few reviews on Autogeek's product page and I had a member on YouTube comment in my video saying they are seeing better repellency out of it, one even mentions better repellency than the ICE in my test. If you have applied this, please give it a rinsedown and share your experience here. I would hate to have my video showcase results from this product that aren't typical for most other users.

I did my Jeep last weekend and I agree. A little goes a long way and very slick feeling. I wear nitrile gloves but agree the bottle gets hard to hold. Maybe mold the bottle with a handle.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Just finished waxing/coating my 2015 white Toyota 4Runner with Paint Protect. A VERY small amount goes a long way. 3-4 small drops would easily cover the entire hood. To cover my entire SUV I would say that I used 1/40 of the bottle. The directions say it will not dry to a haze like normal waxes and I believe it. I am not sure the stuff would ever dry. I wiped it off after 5-10 minutes. It took probably 4x as many microfiber towels to buff it off compared to normal waxes because wax eventually dries where this stuff doesn't seem to. I may have used too much. I have never seen a product where so little goes so far. It has no noticeable smell. It has the consistency of water. It is without a doubt the slipperiest stuff I have ever seen. 1 drop of this stuff on your shower floor and you will be in the hospital. It did not appear to hide any defects, but Meguiars never claimed it would. I did use it on the black trim. So far the black trim looks like a freshly dressed tire and there is zero white residue anywhere. I'll let the Paint Protect sit and cure for a while and we'll see what happens.

I would suggest a redesign to the bottle if the opportunity presents itself... This stuff is super slick... By the time you get some on your hands and a little on the bottle... You will find it hard to hold on to the bottle. I wrapped my bottle in a microfiber just to keep from dropping it. The bottle needs a slip-resistant surface.

Hope this helps someone here... Remember it goes a loooog way.

I had a chance to play around with this on a small exterior panel. A little goes a long away. It spread out real easy. It removes very easily and it left the surface very slick.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

I'm curious as to how well this product will withstand washing at a coin-op car wash. I seem to recall that the detergents used there are more harsh than standard car wash soap.
