Product Review: Permanon Platinum
Introduction:
Like many I am on a never ending quest to find the greatest LSP that provides durability, beading, sheeting, great looks, and easy application. Permanon seemed to hit a few of those attributes with easy application and good beading. So the decision was made to buy a bottle try it out. I was lucky enough to get in on an early group buy and this made my decision that much easier.
Product Description / Claims:
Permanon Platinum is a simple spray and rinse nano coating that creates a durable silicium shell that produces a brilliant shine and long-lasting protection on all hard surfaces. Surfaces protected with Permanon Platinum take on properties that are virtually identical to hardened glass; microscopic pores and pits in paint and other hard surfaces where dirt typically accumulates will be coated so your vehicle will be much easier to clean and maintain.
Permanon Platinum is formulated using nano-engineered particles of Silicium (14Si) that form an electrostatic bond with the surface being protected. Dirt will not bond to the treated surface, thereby reducing soiling and organic staining. Acid rain, airborne contaminants and other chemical compounds that would typically destroy a conventional wax or sealant will easily wash off. Permanon Platinum only takes minutes to apply but the results are long lasting.
Permanon Platinum is resistant to temperatures up to 572 degrees farenheit; a conventional car wax is stable up to 104 degrees farenheit. To get a better idea of how resilient Permanon Platinum is to extreme heat, consider this: brake dust burns at 518 degrees farenheit, well below the limits of Permanon Platinum. The number one cause of dull or faded paint is too much exposure to ultra-violet rays; no other car wax or paint sealant can withstand the extreme temperatures that Permanon Platinum can.
Permanon Platinum bonds on a nano-level so it acts to preserve the original surface being protected. Permanon Platinum is a highly effective water and dirt repellent that lasts while being resistant to nearly all acids, alkaline solutions and solvents, keeping your vehicle clean and protected through any circumstance. What’s more, Permanon Platinum creates an extremely high gloss finish on painted surfaces that is smooth to the touch.

Directions:
1. Thoroughly clean the surface(s) to be protected. Do NOT use any type of wash and wax product as this will interfere with the bonding of Permanon Platinum. To ensure the surface is free of any previously applied waxes and sealants, we recommend adding two ounces of Pinnacle Signature All Purpose Cleaner to your wash bucket.
2.A 5% solution of Permanon Platinum is ideal for daily drivers. If you have an airplane or boat the first application should be undiluted.
3. Pour 50 ml of Permanon Platinum into a 32 oz. spray bottle filled with water.
4. Spray Permanon Platinum starting at the top of the vehicle and work your way down.
5. Thoroughly rinse the vehicle with water and then dry it using a soft microfiber towel or blower, like the Metro Master Blaster.
6. For interior surfaces, spray a 5% solution directly onto surface and lightly buff with a microfiber towel.
Warnings or Precautions:
- Keep out of reach of children
- Store out of direct sunlight at room temperature
- Concentrate is an irritant

Pros:
- Super easy to apply
- Great beading and sheeting
Cons:
- Short lived durability at times
- Expensive per application
Questions:
1. Is the new version any better?
2. What can be done to extend the durability?
Final Thought / Summary:
Permanon is truly one of the easiest product to apply that I have ever used. Simply mist / spray it on and rinse / blow it off. You don't have to touch your paint and risk any marring or towel marks. Although the video doesn't show it my preferred method of removal is using my MasterBlaster to blow everything off and dry. The initial beading and sheeting is excellent as well. The only real downside is the durability in my experience. For the cost and the hype I was hopeing for 4-6 months but in my experience it has been more like 1-3 months. So for the ease of application and to minimize touching the paint you give up durability. To many this is an ok trade off as they don't care about the overal price they simply want the best. I have been left wanting more. I am currently researching some other new options that will hopefully provide the same ease of application with better durability.
I will continue to update this and use it as a real time durability test. As always any comments, questions, additions are welcome. Thanks for reading.
