OK, here goes:
http://www.permafinish.com/ ???
This is only available in the Atlanta area. My father-in-law swears this is the be-all end-all of all waxing. He has had 3 cars treated with this method over the past few years, including a recently acquired red Infinity G35 coupe which looks great. Supposedly they treat the paint which makes it very soft for about 4 to 6 weeks, during which time you are not to treat it harshly and are only allowed to hose it off (no rubbing). However, after about 3 to 4 months, once it has fully cured, the paint is ultra-hard. It will bead water, and nothing will stick to it, including tree sap and road tar which wipe right off. The appearance is that of a freshly-waxed car, with the paint feeling like glass to the touch. The company guarantees your paint will never need waxing for 6 years, and my father-in-law attests to the truthful claims (he owned a Pontiac which was treated with this system for about that long).
I of course, having recently obtained my PC, am skeptical. Surely there are some drawbacks? I asked him if the finish is more prone to scratching, he says nope. He doesn`t have any spider scratches or key/ring scratches by the door handles, water still beads like there`s a fresh coat of wax on there, and I will testify that the car does glow. Cost for the treatment was $400 - could this possibly be the only drawback?
I`m sure someone out there has used it??? Let`s hear about pro`s con`s...
