Automotive Paint Protection & Beautification

**Luc testing out new tooling on a black RAV4 over 20 years ago**

In the world of automotive paint protection, Permagard stands out as a leader in quality and durability. CEO/Founder Luc Lefebvre d’Argencé started as an independent, small-time automotive detailer over 40 years ago. He started detailing cars in his home state of California at only 15 years old, and just like the many satisfied Permagard customers today, his quality of work spread through word of mouth. It resulted in a successful small business for him that ultimately led to the founding of Permagard, and therefore, allowing him to develop a product that would revolutionize the aviation, automotive, and marine industries. With his passion and expertise, Permagard has since earned a reputation as a world leader of automotive paint protection in the industry.

Permagard is ISO 9001-certified and all our products are proudly manufactured and handmade with American-made materials in Miami, Florida, USA, under strict ISO 9001 quality standards set by our quality management system.

Let us tell you why Permagard is the perfect choice for your automotive paint protection needs.

How Does Permagard Work?

Permagard is a handmade, aviation-grade paint protection coating that is applied directly on top of your car’s paint. Permagard protects and enhances your car’s paint and clearcoat, ensuring maximum environmental protection for your car’s original factory paint specifications from daily environmental attacks. Permagard also vivifies your car’s paint to create a beautiful, bright gloss and depth of shine that cannot be replicated by any competitive product in the industry.

Cross-Linking

The Permagard coating utilizes a chemical bonding process called, “cross-linking,” which creates a strongly linked chain of ionic bonds that produces a highly-durable, sacrificial layer across the entire treated surface. Permagard is an excellent, non-invasive form of paint protection that effectively guards 100% of your paint and clearcoat. Protecting 100% of paint’s thickness is what produces the deep depth of shine that Permagard is so famous for.

Environmental Attacks

Environmental attacks such as UV radiation, extreme temperatures, road salt, exhaust residue, tar, tree sap, bird droppings, acid rain, and insects, affect every car on the road. Fading and oxidation, corrosion, snow, and heavy storms also take their toll on your car’s paintwork. Permagard acts as a highly-durable protective layer, producing 4 microns of flexible thickness. Permagard acts as the first line of defense against environmental attacks to protect your vehicle’s original factory paint specifications.

Unparalleled Shine

Permagard’s aviation-grade coating produces an unparalleled gloss and shine that no other product can effectively replicate. When applied to your car’s painted surfaces, the Permagard coating ensures that your car will maintain its better-than-new shine, due to our exceptionally high gloss unit readings in the high 90s or even low 100s. Your car’s superior appearance will turn heads everywhere you go for many years to come.

Key Benefits To Our Automotive
Paint Protection

Permagard leads the way when it comes to beneficial properties for automotive paint protection. Whether it’s simplifying the application process, providing full durable protection from environmental attacks, or producing a superior gloss and depth of shine like no one else, Permagard’s benefits outclass the competition every time.

Ease of Application

Permagard is easy to apply for anyone with automotive polishing experience. Permagard can be applied to a car in as little as one day, without the need for paint correction (compounding) or paint decontamination (clay barring), prior to the application. Our application process can be learned in as little as two hours, and with no requirement for a sterile, temperature-controlled environment, such as a paint booth, to apply any of Permagard’s products. This is one of the best benefits that separates Permagard from our competitors and their strict application procedures.

Cures as You Drive

With Permagard’s automotive paint protection, the initial application can take as little as one day to complete. Permagard does not require IR curing lamps for our aviation-grade paint protection coating to fully cure. The Permagard coating will fully cure on its own for the next 24 hours after the initial application, which results in minimal downtime without your car. As soon as your initial application is completed, your car can be driven immediately. The Permagard coating does not contain any wax or silica, so if you encounter extreme heat or blistering cold during the curing process, rest assured knowing your car will still be strongly protected from environmental attacks and the elements.

Enhanced Paint Vibrancy

The Permagard coating works to enhance your car’s paintwork by vivifying its colors and bringing deeper contrasts to give your car a breathtaking appearance. Your car’s paint will flourish, with colors showing off our signature “Permagard POP!”, and heightened contrasts to produce better overall paint clarity. All while producing a high gloss and deep depth of shine that Permagard is so famous for. The Permagard coating also works to reduce the appearance of marring and micro-scratches to bring out an impeccable finish on your car’s paint. Whether it’s a brand new supercar or a classic town car, no painted surface will appear dull, aged, or lifeless, if it’s protected by Permagard.

Whether it’s Modern or Classic

Brand new or freshly painted car? 20-year-old dull, oxidized paint? Permagard protects and bonds to all painted surfaces, regardless of their age or paint system. For brand new or newly painted cars, simply apply the Permagard coating. For older cars, one of our Permagard pretreatment products (Treatment for Slightly Damaged Surfaces or Treatment for Very Damaged Surfaces) is required before applying the Permagard coating to guarantee the best results. Our Permagard pretreatments are designed to clean, prep, and polish painted surfaces, so that when the Permagard coating is applied, your car will be restored and revived to look better than brand new. Whether it’s straight from the dealership or 20 years old with thousands of miles, there’s nothing quite like seeing a freshly Permagarded car, looking better than brand new, drive off into the sunset and shine with the sun.

Simple Maintenance

Permagard prides itself on having a simple and easy-to-learn application process. Therefore, maintaining your Permagard coating should be just as simple and easy. Permagard does not require any strict cleaning protocols or countless maintenance products to keep the Permagard coating in good standing.

Wash Routine

Cleaning your car is as easy as following your regular car wash routine. The best wash results will always come from handwashing your car with simply water and a PH-neutral shampoo for removing dirt and grime. However, we do not warn our customers against using automatic car washes, like our competitors do. Permagard is incredibly durable and will not be removed from automatic car wash brushes.

One-Stop Shop

Our maintenance process consists of only 2 products to help maintain your Permagard coating: Permagard Shampoo for Painted Surfaces for wet washes to remove excess dirt and grime, and Permagard Cleaner for Treated Surfaces for spot cleaning, removing insects, and stain removal. There is no need for numerous sprays of various liquids, waxes, or wax-based cleaners to maintain the Permagard coating.

The Annual

Permagard acts as the first line of defense in protecting your car’s paint from the elements and environmental attacks. The only product that is required to maintain the Permagard coating is the Permagard Service Treatment. The Permagard Service Treatment is applied every 11-13 months to deep clean the Permagard coating and fill in any micro-scratches that may have appeared on the treated surfaces over time.

What About
Competitive Products?

One of the many things that sets Permagard apart from our competitors is how simple it is to maintain the Permagard coating. Permagard does not require multiple layers of coatings, countless maintenance products, or an unreasonable application environment. We pride ourselves on manufacturing high-quality, aviation-grade, handmade products in the USA. All our competitors require paint correction (compounding) and paint decontamination (clay barring), in order for their products to be effective. The problem with that is every time a painted surface is paint corrected or clay-barred, a layer of paint is removed. These processes reduce your car’s overall paint thickness, and therefore, its depth of shine as well. Our competitors can make paint shine, but they will never protect 100% of your paint’s thickness due to their processes. However, Permagard can protect 100% of your paint’s thickness, as no paint correction or paint decontamination is required to apply the Permagard coating.

All Permagard products are non-toxic and non-dangerous goods that are regularly drop-shipped worldwide, using all available ground and air freight options.

All Permagard products have a shelf life of 18 months from the date that they are proudly manufactured at our Permagard Headquarters location in Miami, Florida, USA.
