Applying Permanon to my car...

So tomorrow I will be applying permanon to my car. I will see if all the hype is really true.

Check it out:





I will first wash the car and then clay bar it to remove all waxes, oils, residues. Then I will apply the permanon.

I will not wash for a week and post results. Then post results after a month.

And if I can manage a dirty car for long enough, I will post results on two months.

That's what I would have to think too. But I gotta see things for myself. If it turns out to be lost money, well then I have a lesson learned

Do you think that it is really possible to change the charge from negative to positive and that's what repels the dirt, dust and any other elements that strip the wax.

I would like to see how well it repels bugs while driving ( I mean to where the bugs don't dry and stick to the front facial or bumper) and especially bird poop.

Let us know how it works - ihaveacamaro.

I doubt it to tell you the truth but if you see some videos on youtube, the sheeting action is insane! I've never seen any wax or finish sheet the water like that before.

Regardless, if it works I'll be happy to report on it. If it doesn't, well then it's a lesson learned

FOR STARTERS, it says on their website thay had a both at SEMA, so I went to find some info, jsut for S7G's, well, that bottle he showed must cost a BUNDLE, although he stated it was INEXPENSIVE...it certainly would take very much to SPRAY it on....."the amont it would cost of a typical drive through car wash"....so about $5 for say 2 oz....THAT's EXPENSIVE!!, that was about a 32 oz bottle, so, that bottle probably cost about $80.....if he was actualky telling us how to use it and how much it cost, which he NEVER tell you in the videos. I TRIED to find it online to get the cost, just for info....I went to THEIR website....they do NOT sell it on line, but have a list of distributors....I went to EVERY ONE and when to their websites....NO ONLINE STORES and none of them would even tell you what it cost. sounds pretty fishy to me!!!


It seems like they are trying to sell us an "INVISIBLE FORCE FIELD".....YEAH RIGHT!

Bird Poop is negative. It must be because it is a very negative thing for car paint. So it will be permanently bonded to the permanon.
