Supaguard?
- Thread starter R20 CWH

RB 182
From looking at this thread, it's not worth it.
Mercedes SLK350
I helped a lady friend buy a Corolla from a Toyota dealer. The price was agreed, then we got the "for £500 extra Supagard will protect your investment" line, along with a demonstration.
I told them to get stuffed, but my lady friend said she would like the car treated, especially the fabric and mats. So I bought enough Supagard stuff to do the car twice over inside and out for less than £20 off Ebay.
The dealers are getting huge backhanders from selling this stuff, if you must have it, do it yourself.

You can wash Superguard of with a bucket of soapy water and a sponge! My Trophy had been Superguarded and I had it off in no time!
If you want a proper durable paint protection go for Permagard. Mines been done for a few months and it cleans back to a deep, glossy, water beading shine:

Once over with a jet wash, a bucket of tepid lightly soaped (provided by Permagard) water, hosed down, a blade to get the worst of the water off and then once over with a towel!
Here's a couple of pics from 50 mins before I started.....
You can see that the shine is still there under the dirt.
PG is hugely populat with the Supercar Club. One of the guys had his whole collection done including his pair of F40s!!!!!

Liking the clean trophy pics.

I'd parked under a tree the other day and noticed some bird crap on the body work. First opportunity I stopped at a garage to jetwash it but I'd been driving in the rain and most of it had disappeared.
Permagard originated in the marine and aviation world and one pilot who's had his plane treated flies through a rain cloud when it gets a little dirty!

I've been thinking about Permagarding mine, as i do alot of miles, and don't have a great deal of time to keep on cleaning her.

Waste of money... it's normally gullible old ladies who pay all the extra for this
and apparently makes about £215 profit for the dealership!

Permagard is only available from Permagard no matter what anybody else says! The basic treatment is about £150 with an additional charge of upto £30 determined by the condition of the paintwork!
They also do a glass treatment for £40 that's well worth it, an engine bay treatment and an upholstery treatment. I didn't bother with either!
There was a guy on here claiming he could offer it at half the price Permagard do which interested the guys at PG hugely as they had never heard of him and he certainly wasn't a licensed franchisee!!!!
Take a look at their website www.permagard.info and if you want more info then call and ask, they are more than happy to chat about the treatment!
Bottom line is, if you love cleaning your car and can think of nothing better than spending countless hours with a toothbrush and a cotton bud cleaning the road grime out of the exposed thread on the steering arms then you're never going to look at something like Permagard.
If on the other hand you have better things to do at the weekend then a £150 for a treatment that lets you keep you car in virtuallly showroom condition for 1 hour every few weeks then I'd strongly recommend you investigate something like Permagard!

this gem again......
unless you've had permagard done, please understand that you can't comment.... I've never heard of one person that's had it done that's had a bad word to say about it.
People who've spent thousands of pounds on Zymol etc have switched to PG.
You can't get the kit off ebay - if it's on there then it's probably not the real deal, as it's made by permagard for permagard franchises. If they sell to anyone else they break the franchise agreement and would face a lawsuit.
It's the best stuff i've come across in 15 years of driving and owning cars!

People often ask "what is it?" or "how does it work?". All you need to do is pick up the phone and the guys at Permagard will tell you everything you want to know.
To get you started however:
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica][FONT=verdana, Arial, Helvetica]PERMAGARD is a concentrated emulsion of aminomethoxyfunctional ethyl polymers which form a plasticitised film on all hard paint and gel coats by reacting with the moisture in the air.[/FONT][/FONT]

Superguard?

It's a waste of time and money!
not sure if its the perma or superguard.
agreed its a waste of time, used it once and i think a decent few steps of polish seal wax is by far better and the results are incomparible.
clio 182 black /gold
Yes. It has carpet protection, fabric protector, alloy wheel and paint protection.
Trophy
It's Superguard. You can't get the Permagard treatment anywhere except Permagard and it is worth the time and money as my earlier pics show....
You can pretty much rest assured that if someone is offering you Permagard then they are lying, just have a look on ebay!
