    Permanon Platinum vs CarPro Hydro2 for wheels Big cost per application difference

    Is there a significant difference in performance between Permanon Platinum and CarPr Hydro2 when used on wheels?



    Permanon Platinum is $25.99 for 100ml, dilutes at 50ml per 32oz

    CarPro Hydro2 is $19.99 for 100ml, dilutes at 50ml per 5.07oz (3:1)


    These differences in dilution ratios make the Permanon Platinum significantly less expensive per application

    Permanon Platinum $.41 per oz

    CarPro Hydro2 $1.97 per oz

    I have never gotten the durability from PP compared to 3+ months from Hydro2. But just looking at the price you could do PP every month and still be fine.

    ^ Factor in labor and time. I can seal my wheels with Hydr02 in less than 3-4 minutes.

    Can you not do that with Permanon Platinum?

    Permanon has the exact same application prep and application process as Hydro2

    I realize i need to further clarify. Factor in labor and time for regular clients. What is the longevity of Permanon?

    If Permanon lasted like a coating (2 years) I would be hooked for life.

    Permanon is great for paint, but I didn't have much luck on wheels. Then again, I didn't prep them as well as I did the paint.

    From AGO's product description page:

    Permanon Platinum is a concentrated solution.
    The 500 ml and 1 liter sizes of Permanon Platinum include a 50 ml measuring cup.

    For a 5% solution, mix 50 ml (1 ounce) of Permanon Platinum into a spray bottle containing 32 oz. of water.

    For a 10% solution, mix 100 ml of Permanon Platinum into a spray bottle containing 32 oz. of water.
    When used properly, one 32 oz. bottle of Permanon Platinum at a 5% solution will cover approximately two mid sized sedans.

    __________________________________________________

    Just wondering:

    Would it make a difference in the calculation of Permanon Platinum's cost per application...versus that of Hydro2's...if:
    1 ounce = 29.573 ml?

    best way to find out is try them both. Then decide.
