Overview
|
Toughguard’s Aviation™ Nano Paint Coating Product is known for protecting
some of the world’s most recognizable and prized military, commercial, corporate and private aircrafts. Toughguard’s™ Nano paint coating has met or exceeded industry specifications and proved to be a reliable, safe product that can be counted on in a wide variety of applications. Test results have proven durability and performance levels and have concluded that aircraft protected with Toughguard™ will have a greater resistance to the buildup of harmful environmental elements such as; rain erosion, UV damage, soot and carbon buildup, pollutant & chemical damage and bird/insect residues.
Toughguard’s™ distinct advantage comes from the exclusive proprietary formulations that are truly unique in composition, validated by laboratory tests and satisfied customers who have come to rely on and expect the consistent and dependable durability that has become synonymous with Toughguard™. Boeing recently released a study (Aero Magazine QTR_01 13) proving that maintaining a clean aircraft has many benefits including; reduction of ‘fuel burn penalties’, corrosion control and positive corporate branding. Thousands of gallons of fuel can be saved by maintaining clean aircrafts. The use of Toughguard™ allows operators to maintain cleaner aircrafts for longer periods of time reducing; down time, labor costs and chemical costs. Note: ToughGuard-Aero products meets or exceed the requirements and specifications of Boeing, Airbus, Douglas Aircraft Company and AMS (Aerospace Material Specifications). |

Features
Durability- Once applied, ToughGuard™ will perform and protect for up to 4years with only one leading edge reapplication suggested after 2 years.
- Surfaces coated with ToughGuard’s™ Nano paint coating deterthe buildup of harmful environmental contaminants helping surfaces staycleaner for extended periods of time. Real time studies indicate a commercialaircraft coated with ToughGuard™ can go 600 days before requiring a routinemaintenance washing.
- Ongoing real time experiments on commercialaircraft indicate a fuel burn savings between .4 - .7% indicating a directcorrelation between the use of ToughGuard™ and a positive effect on fuel burn.
- SMI, AMS, Boeing, Airbus and Douglas Aircraft. ToughGuard’s NanoPaint Protection coating met or exceeded all industry specifications.

Benefits
- Protects against harmful environmental and man-made elements such as UV damage/oxidation, rain erosion, soot & carbon buildup, pollution, volcanic ash, hydraulic fluids, insect & bird fouling.
- Improves immediate operational efficiencies by:
- 1) Extending wash cycles, which reduces labor costs associated with routine cleaning.
- 2) Increasing paint life by years, adding to the long-term bottom line.
- Reducing parasitic drag – Clean aircraft simply cut through the air more efficiently which leads to fuel burn reductions.
- “The Wet Look” – Aircraft that have been ToughGuarded have a stunningly wet paint look that delivers a positive image.
- ToughGuard-Aero offers exceptional interior products protecting against UV fade, stains, cracking and hardening of leather and vinyl, problems associated with dye-transfer.

Per the vendor this can be used on polished aluminum but it may not bond as well as it would on paint. In my experience you do not want to permanent or semi-permanent coating on bare alum as corrosion/oxidation comes from the inside out and would show beneath the coating.
Yes it would be safe to use on automotive paint.
