just applied Permanon Platinum last Saturday, now a short review after 2 days...

prep work before applying Permanon Platinum was shampoo with Meguiars Gold Class, claying with Hecta PL, then very light polishing with Meguiars Ultimate Polish to remove the stains, and then following up with another wass with Meguiars Gold Class again to make sure that all polishing residue has been removed..

So then i applied the permanon platinum, mixing 20ml of permanon platinum and filled the provided spray bottle with clean filtered water. after finishing the whole car, i followed up with Meguiars Ultimate Detailer (UQD)..

The day after, Sunday, i did a quick wipe down with ONR and then used the 2 in 1 revitalizer as sort of a detailer, shine was nice after that, but could also be because of UQD.

overall, the shine before detailing with UQD (Permanon only) was OK, but after applying UQD, shine was good, very wet looking finish, one word, nice! and i wouldnt say that beading properties for Permanon Platinum was that great either.. more of a disappointment.

after the super heavy downpour in KL yesterday, the roof wasnt beading water properly at all.. very disappointed.. also did apply permanon platinum onto the windscreen, half of the whole area so that i could see the difference, and during the downpour, beading was also ok, similar to using OCW on the windscreen, however i feel OCW did better on the windscreen..

However, on the windscreen where the wiper doesnt wipe, water wasnt beading at all on.. rain water was was just flowing down, first time  ever happening on my ride since 2 years ago i bought the car.. have always been applying OCW and sometimes Rain X from day 1 on the windscreen, no disappointments with OCW and Rain X, with Permanon, very disappointing. No pics tho coz it was raining like crazy, visibility was crap and lots of traffic.

whereas on the roof, water beading wasnt that great, to my liking, i expected more from Permanon Platinum.. water bead feels like after washing with Meguiars Ultimate Wash and Wax, without applying any sort of wax..

anyhow, since i have about 50% of permanon platinum left, i will give it another go once in maybe another 2-3 months, or once i feel that its necessary.

ultimately, what made me purchased Permanon Platinum was the good reviews on its beading properties, its durability and also the ease of washing off dirt (some positive charge or something that doesnt bond dirts to the paint). so in terms of water beading, very disappointed. OCW + UQD gets the job done much better by a mile..

next review would probably be washing of the dirt after more heavy downpours, might probably wash the car in 2-3 days time and see how easily the stains get removed.
