Platinum Ultimate Paint Protection

This is one special product. I have used Klasse SG, the original Blackfire, Liquid Souveran, and Blitz. None of these compare to the shine I get from the new version of Platinum. It really makes my car glow. The more applications the better it gets. Since the roads are coated with salt and now also with calcium chloride, I must say the durability is quite good. It has been a month since I applied two coats and a simple soap rinse made the car shine like I just waxed it. Platinum really keeps the dust and dirt off. Platinum is thick, but applies very easily. It takes a little longer to dry than most sealants, but definitely worth it. It also has a good price when compared to Klasse SG, Blackfire, Liquid Souveran, or definitely Zaino.
 
Great news!! I have a very short list :D , and UPP version 2 is definately on it. I talked to the good guys at premiumautocare.com when they were about to complete testing it, and they said the slikness was unbelievable. A friend of mine has it on his auto and it really looks "wet".:) . A great alternative.

I can attest to that :up. I've used the rev 2 PUPP and it is simply outstanding. My only problem is finishing up the rest of my ver. 1 PUPP :D .



EDIT: Forgot to mention I use AIO as a base rather than the Platinum Paint Cleaner. AIO is a much better cleaner and unlike the Platinum Paint Cleaner will add to the longevity of the final finish.

Was this recent ?



I thought the new formula came out back around the end of summer.

This is actually the third version of it. The second version came out around the end of the summer, like you said. The new version is slicker and more durable than the second one was. They've done something tricky to it I guess. They've made it slicker and more 'Zaino-esque' I guess. :nixweiss
 
So, sounds like AIO as a base is better than their cleaner? Anyone else have an opinion on this? I am really keen to try out Klasse, PUPP, or BF this winter, but I only want to get one.
 
AIO is a fine base. I think the reason that people use it here is because they had it on hand so there wasn't a need to purchase another cleaner product. I'm sure the Platinum product works just as well as Klasse. I'd like to try them side by side so I could tell if maybe one works better than the other. Platinum has been a really good product for me in the past. The results are a little different that Blackfire, but they are both very pleasing. I think Platinum sparkles a little more than Blackfire does. Platinum doesn't have quite as bad of a dust attraction problem either. They are both awesome to work with.
 
$12.95 for the paint protection, $8.95 for the pre-cleaner? Wow, talk about a bargain!



According to what I've heard, the first revision was an increase in the polymer content and the second revision was a much larger, more significant increase in the polymer content.

The Platinum cleaner is super mild and would be fine for new, like new or extremely well maintained finishes. AIO will get more of the "funk" out of the paint and do a much better job on daily drivers. AIO will also add some of the Klasse acrylic protection whereas the Platinum cleaner is purely a cleaner with no protection.
 
I have a question- I have heard that you can apply the new Blackfire on top of a glaze, (eg. No 7), but can you apply the new version of Platinum UPP over a glaze?



So far I have been applying P21S/S100 as a topper over AIO by it self but I am looking for an even better protection/shine under the P21S/S100 or not using a carnauba topper at all.

Instructions regarding Blackfire are similar to the instructions for Platinum. They aren't the same product, but they are used the same way. If Blackfire can be put over a glaze then so can Platinum.
 
Anyone tried the PUPP QD, and is it effective? Meaning, does it enhance the polymers, or should I just continue with my Meguiar's QD. I think I am going to get PUPP, just because of the price break. I am not worried about having protection from the cleaner, or harsh cleaning ability. I have lots of paint cleaner (Mother's) and SMR's for that.
 
Ok... Last comment on Platinum and then I'm done. :) I don't want to look like I'm pounding the Platinum drum or anything. ;)



Platinum QD is awesome. I haven't used anything else since. Do a search on it an you'll see some of the rave reviews. It helps improve the apperance of the car. I've never used a QD that actually makes the car sparkle. It is awesome stuff. Two thumbs up :up :up
 
While away on vacation in the end of August, Premium Auto Care sent me a free bottle of UPP. I also have the bottle I ordered back in the start of June. Do I have the first and second versions, or the second and third? I've used both, but still aren't 100% sure on which is better.
 
You probably have the first and second. I don't believe the third was out untill later in the summer. I bought a bottle of UPP in June and it was the first version. Then I bought one in August and it was the second. You could always check with 4 Star to make sure.
 
I have PUPP I and II. But I got them mixed up. One is colored white and the other is off-white. Which one is which ? (I knew I should of labeled those bottles)







Thanks !
