Roll on Duco protection - Autoskin and the likes

Yes Ron but at $700 for enough to do the bonnet, front bumper and headlights of a Toyota Landcruiser and roughly $100 per Square metre after that, It's pretty exxy.

We're talking two different purposes here with the 3M being designed to keep your new vehicle in showroom condition with normal road use. The Autoskin/scratchpro are temporary sealants only to help prevent your paint work from taking a pounding in rough conditions and on rocky roads. $39 worth will cover your whole vehicle twice with a bit left over.

Works a treat.

Cheers Mick

Mick - Yow! - Yeah, I thought that the 3M product might have that cost problem. Never seen a 3M product yet, that isn't top class - but they always want your right arm and leg, plus your firstborn, for virtually anything they sell.

I've never tried any protection material for paint, it's an interesting concept. I've always just given any well-used vehicle a cut and polish before it got sold, and that generally removes the worst of the paint scars.

Cheers - Ron.

Yes Ted it really works and works well. I wouldn't leave home without it. Two coats on with a small foam roller from Bunnings and the job is done. A bit of work with a pressure washer to get it off at the end of the trip but you will be amazed at the difference. I left an area uncoated two years back after the Gibson Desert jaunt and wish I had a photo to show the difference. I'll do so when the vehicle is back from the engineers. You will be amazed.

If you're worried about your duco, it's the best $39 you'll ever spend!

Hi Ted it works a treat i have used it a few times,last being on the hay River when we had thing scraping up the sides for 3 days,Huge dry rolly polly things and just over grown tracks.When i got back and cleaned the autoskin off the paint was perfect the canopy on the back which i didn't protect had scratches everywhere which doesn't worry me.
Like mick said the best $39 you can spend.

I have also used Autoskin and I can attest to it's value. On a trip through the Gunbarell, the bracket holding the ladder on the shippshape broke due to vibration and the ladder swung right down the side of the car. Ended up with only one scratch about 2cm long and through to the base coat of the paintwork from where the step hit the top of the door panel. I recon I got out of it very lightly in the circumstances.
Only problem I had with it was that I waited until I got home about 8 weeks later to clean it off and some was especially hard to remove.
I wish that I had put it on last year when we did the Hay River and Kitson tracks with the overgrown scrub.

Cheers Phil. I had a bit of a chat to John Gregory (MD of GoGreen) today about the product and was much relieved to find that he is still committed to manufacturing & supplying the product. Might have to talk to Adele and see if the EO shop will become a distributer.

Think it's Scratchpro that's gone belly up.

Cheers Mick

A product name would be great Alby. Any chance of you digging one up and posting back?

Cheers Mick
