What is Permagard?

The Original
Aviation-Grade
Paint Protection Coating

Permagard is a curious name. We often get asked by inquirers: “What is Permagard?”, “Is it a wax?”, “Is it a ceramic coating?”

Permagard is an aviation-grade paint protection coating that was engineered specifically for aerospace environments. Permagard was designed to protect 100% of the maximum paint thickness available to keep your asset’s original factory paint specifications in the best possible condition.

Let us tell you why it’s your time to shine in your brand!

What is Permagard?

Permagard is a handmade, aviation-grade paint protection coating that is manufactured exclusively at our Permagard Headquarters in Miami, Florida, USA, using 100% American-made materials. Permagard is the only paint protection solution that can protect 100% of your clearcoat and paint from environmental attacks, while providing a deep depth of shine that cannot be replicated by competitive products. Permagard’s “wet-look effect” on treated surfaces is what makes Permagard outshine the competition.

How Permagard Works

The Permagard coating utilizes a chemical bonding process called, “cross-linking”. As Permagard’s proprietary formula bonds to the painted surfaces’ molecular structure and fills in its pores, the coating creates a strongly linked chain of ionic bonds on the treated surface. This provides a durable, non-invasive, sacrificial layer to protect the integrity of your original factory paint specifications. Permagard protects against many environmental attacks including, but not limited to, corrosion, oxidation, bird droppings, tree sap, salt-laden air and water, acid rain, road grime, anti-icing and de-icing chemicals, runway grime, and barnacles, among many others, that consumers’ assets can encounter in aviation, automotive, or marine environments.

Permagard’s History

Permagard was founded in 1998 in Mougins, France, by Luc Lefebvre d’Argencé. For more than 25 years, Permagard has been an industry-leading paint protection solution for protecting aircraft, cars, and boats worldwide. Today, Permagard is still owned and operated by Luc to ensure the integrity and quality of Permagard’s products and business relationships.

Benefits of Permagard

Acts as a Sacrificial Layer

After the Permagard coating has been applied and undergone its bonding and curing processes, Permagard produces 4 microns of flexible thickness that provides maximum protection from environmental attacks, while allowing the substrate to freely breathe and flex. The Permagard coating acts as a durable sacrificial layer to protect 100% of the integrity of your clearcoat and painted surfaces. The first few microns of new paint are the most important to protect, and with Permagard, protecting that crucial aspect of your paint system is exactly what is has been designed to do.​​​​​​

Easy to Apply

Permagard can be easily applied by anyone with aircraft, car, or boat polishing experience. The application process can be learned in as little as two hours with our meticulous and easily accessible training program. All Permagard products were designed to be easily applied, without sacrificing performance and protection.​​​​​​

Convenient Maintenance

With a reasonable maintenance routine that was designed to streamline the process, Permagard saves you continuous maintenance costs and time spent maintaining your asset. Permagard doesn’t require countless maintenance products, like our competitors do. With only one product required to maintain the Permagard coating, you can spend more time admiring your asset’s appearance, and less time and money maintaining it.

Touch as Smooth as Satin

Once Permagard has fully bonded to the treated surfaces, the Permagard coating will produce a smooth, slick touch across the entire treated surface. This is only one of the many exceptional qualities that Permagard is capable of. The smooth, slick treated surfaces also reduce the effort required for washing an asset that’s been treated with Permagard.

However, Permagard can be applied to any painted surface. Motorcycles, RVs, personal watercraft, golf carts, or even pianos, can also have Permagard applied to their painted surfaces.
