Hello Blake,
Glad to hear the Perma Shield is doing well for you. It's strong suit is durability, so let the PA weather give it a test. Do you guys get a bit of snow ?
Our conditions here (near Anza, CA) are tough: wind, heat, dust, freezing temps & winter snow & ice. I get about 10 months of nice protection & great shine. Matter of fact, last time was late September last fall, so almost 1 year. When washed, most think it was done just last month or so.
Good thing, too, cause my carport project is stalled, just a pile of lumber & steel right now !!
Jammar, good standard body shop prep takes it right off, as would be advised if one were using any finish care product. '
The problem with adhesion of repaint jobs is more to do with "cheap shops" (ie "We'll paint your whole car for only $ 39. 95 !), that don't do proper prep, than any thing you might use on your finish.
Good shops (I look for a show where you can deal with the owner) do correct prep, and the price will reflect that. If you're curious, it will include: mineral de-waxing, sanding & tack-cloth & that twice.
Basically, you get what you pay for.
Best Regards to you,
David B.
