did you read his dribble.... HE's a moron " I do exactly the same thing as PG and only charge a £10" Permagard spend a day with your car - if he does that for just a £10 he's a fecking idiot. Gerald Ratners business sence there!
Anyone had a Permagard treatment?

One thing I have noticed in the last couple of weeks is how clean and clear the glass is. When I was cleaning with Zymol and using their 'Glas' cleaner the windscreen seemed to get dirty very easily. Now it's like looking through a new spotless screen!

Can't wait.
No more back breaking hours of cleaning and polishing
You'll love it, if you're anything like me (attributing a soul and personality to a metal box) you'll have to stop and have a little look every time you walk past your window. The Trophy deserves nothing less.
Rather than trying to keep it clean all the time, you'll be driving through puddles, knowing that it'll rain pretty soon and clean itself.
Whats the costs involved????
Depends on the mileage (wear and tear on the paint).
My Trophy has done 9.5K so I'm looking at £150 + VAT.
Well worth the expense though as just washing isn't gunna protect the paint from UV rays and the resulting fading. (What colour fades most on cars - red!)
Then after that just a yearly top up. Not sure of how much that is, but I think that there is some due to be done soon, so keep an eye out for that one.

You get a courtesy car for the duration, which is from 0900 - 1630.
So if you want it doing, either take a good book or plenty of dosh and go shopping :!:
As my wife is coming guess what I'll be doing :!:
oh dear Trafford centre maybe calling lol. courtesey car is a pug 106 from memory. Were you talking to him about the CS forum ? - he knew all about it, said he'd been talking to a couple of Trophy owners......
No. Told him 'bout this one. Thats when he mentioned some others coming for their top ups.
And yes you're right about the 106 and Trafford centre.
At least I can finish my Christmas shopping
Are you still waiting for your carbon fibre bonnet :?: :!:

It is a Pug 106 and surprise surprise my missus came with me too just cos the Trafford centre's close to!!
That 106 could probably find it's own way there by now!!
Cue, did Graham mention if he's busy before xmas? - might book in for a top up soon.

i'm probably wrong here but i thought paint fade was mainly down to oxidation and as you are sealing the paint with the treatment paint fade was negligable.
It's also why i asked on here about car covers, and everybody laughed :lol:

Could be wrong myself. :-s
I thought a combination of oxidation and sunlight was harmful to brightly coloured paintwork. I may be incorrect about this but I think Permagard provides a barrier against oxidation and a filter against UV rays.
Fell free to correct me if I'm wrong. :wink:

your both right. Fade is down to oxidisation and UV.
