Many dealers charge $ 500 for an application of this polymer ( Perma Plate ). The body shop I use claims their wholesale cost for a 12 oz. bottle is $ 100 and they get about 6 applications from that. They charge $ 100 per application ( P&L) and

maintain that you will not need to wax your car for at least 3 to 5 years. The dealers supposedly guarantee this never-wax-again application for the life of the car ( whatever that guarantee may cover and exclude remains to be investigated )



Being the skeptic that I am, I see this product as may be par with Rejex at a ridiculously higher cost. Or, I could be way wrong and maybe this is the holy grail

of finish applications.



Do you guys have any experience with the product ?



I "Googled" the subject and you get various opinions at each end of the spectrum, but most tend to lean toward the belief this is indeed a high grade wax, but not much more...

For the average american car that doesn't ever get waxed and is just a thin coat of acrylic, fine.



But for Porsche's, nope, nada, no way...

Well being a professional part time skeptic, I call BS. Pure bold-face-marketing-elitest-overpriced-take-advantage-of-the-stupid-but-rich snake oil.



Think about the chemistry for a moment. What do you think is more durable? A sprayed on urethane clearcoat that has be catalyzed with a hardener, or something that is wiped on and wiped off with a soft cloth. A gallon of the high tech urethane paint is about $100.



Get some Eagle Nano wax, Meguires NXT or Mothers Reflections and you have the same thing as Perma Plate. Bastards.

Yeah, notice that every diet pill bottle says that TOGETHER with a sensible eating plan and execrcise routine you can lose weight if you take their pills ? Gee, if you were eating sensibly and exercised consistently, you would not need any diet pills !! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> Oops, got O.T. a bit.



Back on topic.. I've been very happy with the results of what I have used so far, ( Meguier's NXT with Rejex over it, every four months, and clay bar prep once a year ) but technology improves from one year to the next so always searching for the REAL new and improved product out there..



Dave, funny you mention those particular products: I use Eagle One nano-wax with a coat of Rejex over it for our SUV, Mothers' Reflections with a coat of Rejex on the MBZ, and as mentioned above on the 968. Brilliant results that last at least 4 months for all of them.



I have used Zymol, Klasse and Zaino.. and do not think either one matches NXT. Yes, not even Zaino.. but I recognize this is all subjective, so one man's lustre may be another man's dullness.. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/cool.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



I actually think Mother's Gold Class paste produces the most brilliant shine, but I

rarely get 2 months out of it..
