Permagard Exterior
The need for protective coatings
Since high value surfaces have been part of our lives the need to protect and nourish them has been recognised. The idea is that prevention is better than cure and that it should be cheaper and easier to repair and maintain the coating than the actual high-value object that we seek to protect.
Most protectants on the market today, offer only some or limited amount of protection from the elements and most will not last or retain their look, even after 6 months of application.
Within hours, bird droppings can eat into the surface of paint leaving permanent scarring which may only be resolved by expensive touch-ups or even a complete respray. Permagard’s protection provides a continual defense against the following contaminants:
ü Acid Rain
ü Alkali Pollution
ü Bird Droppings
ü Tree Sap
ü Insect etching
ü Hardwater Deposits
ü Road Grime
ü Pollution Fallout

Cape Town International Boat Show
The Cape Town International Boat Show, South Africa's leading boat, show took place from 5-7 October 2007 at the CTICC. This year the Boat Show played host to the most exhibitors in the sailing and power boat industries ever assembled in one venue in South Africa,and the PermagardSA team were present to answer yacht/boat maintenance, cleaning and protection queries.
Frequently Asked Questions on Permagard Marine(FAQ's)
Q: Why not stick to the traditional method of cleaning a yacht by cutting and polishing?
A: The abrasive action removes the oxidised film by cutting away the actual surface structure leaving the surface with a reduced layer of pigment and a polished resin. This restoration is temporary and the surface soon chalks over. Which calls for more polishing. Eventually this constant abrading reduces the finish to such a porous state that further polishing has no effect.
Q: So what sets Permagard apart from other polish or waxing methods?
A: A surface treated with Permagard P5000 will not wear done or oxidise, and will not need to be resprayed. The Permagard product fills in scratches rather than reduce the integrity of the gel coat or paint by layers being eventually eroded down. Permagard does not contain ANY silicone which is the base of most waxes/polishes and is understood to be harmful.
Conclusion:
NEVER WAX, CUT OR POLISH - EVER AGAIN!
Which gives you more time to enjoy the sun, surf and sport.

"If its good enough for Virgin airlines..."Superbike Racer, Adam Wright
Superbike racer Adam Wright on Permagard, “In my opinion Permagard should be applied to all vehicles on the road, new or old. It protects the paint and rejuvenates old paint to look like new again. I back this product 100% and have been using it on my bikes for years. Permagard outshines every other product out there, pardon the pun. The way I see it is if it's good enough for Troy Corser and Virgin airlines then it's good enough for me.”

Adam Wright takes on the tar and shares his rocky ride...
We've done a little interview with Superbike racer "Adam Wright #39"
Here's what he has to say!
Adam Wright – Superbike Racer
Adam Wright is originally from Rotherham England where he was born on the 28th of May 1976. In 1979 he moved to South Africa with his parents. Wright started racing competitively at the beginning of 2007, but he has been riding bikes since the age of ten.
Wright’s first road bike was a YAMAHA RZ50. To get this bike he had to work in a supermarket for 1 ½ years. He eventually saved up enough money for half of the payment. The other half was paid for by his mother. His first super bike was a SUZUKI GSX – R600 SRAD which he secretly bought without his mother knowing. She liked it, and eventually got over the shock.
His other interests, besides motorbikes and racing, includes; wakeboarding, kitesurfing and diving.
Wright’s racing career at Killarney Race Track in Cape Town is rapidly
progressing. He has won a number of races in the C group, and during his second race weekend he finished second in group B.
Wright’s aim for this season is to consistently get up to the front of the B
group, win more trophies, and then on to winning a series.
Comments from Wright on his race career thus far; “My first race was at the National event in Cape Town, because the regional racers were invited to participate. I had to race with an X on my back so the other racers would know I was a rooky. As it was my first time ever in a race, my main goals were to not fall off, not come last and achieve a good enough time to start off in the C group. Mission accomplished on all three, and if I could have classified I would have got a ninth for the day.
My second race weekend I had put in a bit of practice at the track and got
my times down by 5 seconds a lap. That is a country mile in racing terms and I went out in qualifying and stuck it on pole position in my group. I went out in the first race after a really good start and finished first. When I was on the grid for the second race I was very nervous, I made a complete mess of the start with the front wheel facing the sky. Not the quickest way to get off the line. I was overtaken by quite a few guys in my group so I got my head down and started picking them off one by one. I had a really good race with one of the veterans of group C. He would overtake me and then I would get him back, it was a battle all the way to the line. I managed to get better drive out of the last turn and managed to get him at the line by 0.3 of a second.
I was screaming inside my helmet and I felt like Barry Sheen. In only my second race I managed a 1st for the day. That's trophy number one
for the cabinet! During that race my times came down some more and I managed to "break out" of group C. My next race did not go too well. On the third lap there was a bad crash in turn 3 and they sent the medic/pace car out onto the track. I was having another big battle for position and when we came down the start finish straight I had finally got a bit of a gap. The white flag came out. I slowed as I saw the safety vehicle and moved over coming out of turn 1 as he was right on our racing line. The other racer went round the outside of me and slammed right into the back of the car because he decided to stop on the track. His bike catapulted over the track and smashed straight onto the front of me and the bike. We both went flying into the gravel and the bike was mashed. That was the end of my day so it was off to the bar to watch the second race. I fixed up the bike over the break and got it back to perfect condition thanks to my sponsors, my mom, and the really nice lady at the bank. I practiced again before the next race and was doing consistent times which were 2 seconds faster than before so I was really excited about the race. Qualifying was a wash out with rain and so was race 1.
I wasn't ready to go out on slicks in the rain after I'd just rebuilt the
bike. I will be on the lookout for rain tyre sponsors for next year. Five
guys fell during the first race and luckily none of them were injured too
seriously. The second race was dry so I decided to race even though I had to start last on the grid. I had an amazing start and managed to make quite a few places by the first corner. A couple of laps into the race I developed a shudder on the brakes which was putting me off going into turns. Luckily the field was a bit strung out because of the fallers. I managed a 2nd in group B and that is my best finish yet.
I think I've managed to find the cause of my shudder, but we'll have to wait and see at the next practice session. The next race is on the 1st of
September and I can't wait. Later in the year we are traveling down to P.E. to race. I am looking forward to this as the seasoned racers reckon that once you’ve raced on another track, you return to your local track a bit faster. We'll see. Hopefully there are some more trophies to come by the end of the year.”

New technology in paint restoration and protection
PERMAGARD was incorporated in 1998 and specialises in the development, manufacturing and application of highly durable performance and protective coatings for paint, polyurethane top coats and gel coats. Tested and approved by companies such as; Boeing, BMW, Sunseeker, Virgin Air, Gulfstream and Porsche.
PERMAGARD is now available to the South African market.
PERMAGARD P5000 chemically restores old faded paint to new and prevents new paint from fading. Micro scratches and swirls are “filled in” rather than compounded away. Lastly, P5000 seals the finish to provide permanent protection from the elements.
The application of PERMAGARD substantially increases the durability of the paint surface whilst eradicating the need for chemical cleaning or abrasive polishing. Waxing is now a thing of the past!
Providing the annual service treatment is adhered to, the painted surface will retain its colour and depth of shine for the life of the vehicle.
PERMAGARD SA also has a full range of interior products to coat and protect all interior fabrics, carpets, leather, dashboard and door materials, rendering each permanently water and stain-proof, without affecting the natural qualities of the fabric. These products also prevent sun-fading, premature ageing and cracking of leather and plastics in extreme heat.
PERMAGARD is a privately owned company which operates in 23 countries and specialises in three primary markets: aviation, marine and automotive.

VIRGIN BLUE GOES GREEN WITH PERMAGARD
Virgin Blue will apply a world first green treatment to the paintwork on its fleet;
Eliminating the need to wash the plane as often,
Saving tens of thousands of litres of water.
Also due to reduced drag, the aircrafts are more fuel efficient. The airlines just signed a six year agreement with Permagard Australia to rejuvenate and protect the exteriors of 72, current and future Boeing 737’s and Embraer Jets.
“By reducing the amount of grime which sticks to the aircraft and by extending the life of the paintwork, we can reduce exterior cleaning time, defer major repainting and exterior restoration and increase time in which the aircraft are in the air,” Virgin chief operations officer Andrew David said.
The Permagard process cleans and completely seals the aircraft’s outer surfaces without using water, creating a permanent barrier between the paintwork and the extreme flying conditions in the southern hemisphere.
This same treatment is approved and used in the yachting and automotive industries world wide.
Permagard SA based in Cape Town are in the process of introducing this treatment to the South Africa Market.
