Paint Protect

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

To add to the point above me, I've heard that ULW has a small amount of cleaners in it to aid in removing old coats of wax already on the surface. If this is true, then would topping this product with ULW be out of the question? Like The Guz said, would something like M26 better since it's a "pure" wax?

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Another question. Any special prep for this product?

Ultimate wax has no cleaners in it. You should be fine using that over PP365. Check out post 173 by Mr. Stoops. Hope this answers your question.

The first on the future approach on an simpler way to paint protection.
Very interesting.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Ah I see thanks! I know I read something about NXT containing some of those micro chemical cleaners somewhere and I also heard somewhere that ULW had some, hence making layering useless (I still did anyways).

*Edit: I realized I meant polish in it. Not thinking cleaner wax type abrasives. So completely ignore my prior statement. I've actually read that thread before yet for some reason I keep thinking other wise.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

This product should be in our shores now! I wonder if this product offers more shine than Ultimate, NXT 2.0 or any of meguiars "older" products.. Because I read in a meguiars asia website that the deep crystal coating while it offers more protection than other megs waxes doesn't offer the same shine or depth...

Mike one more question. This states beading but how would you compare the sheeting of it to UW?

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

I am almost certain that Art will try applying this with a rotary.

That is Funny

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

I'm just curious if this product sheets water like collinite

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

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.

As for sheeting vs beading - this product is all about relentless beading. Will it sheet water off if you do that final rinse sheeting process after a wash? Of course, and it will do it quite well.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

While the product is indeed quite thin in viscosity, the bottle has a pinhole type opening that allows for controlled dispensing of the product. Again, application is essentially like any other wax - very thin and uniform, but you find that a little goes a very long way with this. Essentially apply and wipe off.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Thanks for clarifying some of those things Mike. Really excited about this product, but it almost seems too good to be true...

Can it go on over a wax like ULW or an AIO like M66 or D151? I'm thinking it would be a great product to add on to a basic 1-step detail since AIOs don't have the greatest durability.

Also, if it can't go on over a wax, do you need to do anything to the paint to prep it first so that it bonds properly...ie IPA wipedown?

Finally, what category are you guys considering this to be in? Wax? Sealant? Coating? Something new all together? Thanks again!

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Jarred, there really isn't anything special you need to do to prep for this. Of course claying is always a good idea but no IPA wipedown or anything outside the normal wax application routine is needed. You shouldn't have any problems applying this over an existing wax so it should be able to fit into your scenario without issue.

We definitely do NOT classify this as a coating. It's a paint protectant, so it's right in there with waxes and sealants, except that it's crazy durable and the very thin viscosity of the product make the application and wipe off a somewhat unique experience in the world of waxes and sealants.

Re: Paint Protect - 365 Day Durability

Thanks for such a quick response Mike! It sounds super easy as for application, so a great add-on that doesn't need a bunch of prep work like a coating.

I'll be looking forward to seeing some pictures of it in action after the TNOG next week! Hopefully some of those guys will give us some first hand experiences too! Thanks again!
