The Three Systems (Quick Overview)

Nano-Hold Technology Armor

Reusable • Removable • Trail-Ready
Advanced, patent-backed protection for JL/JLU/JT/Bronco with zero permanent commitment.

Magnetic Armor

Instant-On • Customizable • Proven
High Energy magnetic panels for TJ/LJ/JK/Toyota platforms. Fast install. Bold style.

PPV (Paint Protection Vinyl)

Light-duty paint protection
Semi-permanent vinyl for daily-driver wear zones like hoods, vents, tailgates, accents.

Nano-Hold Technology Armor — Full Technical Details (JL/JLU/JT/Bronco only)

Best for:

  • Frequent trail use
  • Rock rash, brush, and debris
  • Protection only when you need it
  • Visual customization (graphics, patterns, themes)

Material: Lightweight ballistic resin utilizing nano-hold technology gel-based reusable protective panels

Attachment Method: Proprietary nano-hold technology gel adhesion (non-magnetic)

Patent Status: Issued U.S. patents covering reusable vehicle armor systems and nano-hold adhesion architectures

Designed exclusively for:

  • 2018+ Jeep® Wrangler JL
  • 2018+ Jeep® Wrangler JLU
  • 2020+ Jeep® Gladiator JT
  • 2022+ Ford Bronco (2 & 4-door)
  • Select stock hood and tailgate applications

Performance:

  • Installs in minutes with no tools
  • Removes cleanly when maintained correctly
  • Does not use traditional adhesives — the “stickiness” is a characteristic of the gel
  • Reusable up to 200 times
  • Rated for all legal highway speeds when properly installed

Environmental & maintenance requirements:

  • Ideal install/storage temperature: 65–75°F
  • Operational range: 15–180°F
  • Surface must be clean, dry, and chemical-free
  • Remove immediately after wet or high-humidity trail conditions
  • Clean gel side with water only (warm water + mild dish soap if oils are present)
  • Air dry to reactivate adhesion
  • Store flat with original liner or in MEK storage bag

What it is NOT:

  • Not magnetic
  • Not permanent PPF
  • Not a cold-wet weather product
  • Not designed for TJ, LJ, JK, or Toyota vehicles
Magnetic Armor — Full Technical Details (TJ/LJ/JK/Toyota platforms)

Instant-On • Customizable • Proven on the Trail

Magnetic Armor is removable, heavy-duty trail armor engineered for fast installation and bold personalization.

Best for:

  • Quick trail runs
  • Instant protection
  • Visual customization (graphics, patterns, themes)
  • Events, overlanding trips, and seasonal use

Material: Vehicle-Grade High Energy Magnetic panels

Attachment Method: Precision-engineered high energy magnetic hold

Platform: Original MEK Magnet armor system (actively supported)

Designed for:

  • Jeep® Wrangler TJ (1997–2006)
  • Jeep® Wrangler LJ (2004–2006)
  • Jeep® Wrangler JK (2007–2017)
  • Toyota Tacoma (3rd Gen)
  • Toyota 4Runner (5th Gen)

What makes it different:

  • No adhesives, no residue, no tools
  • Swappable designs for different looks

Technology & IP foundation:
MEK Magnet’s systems are protected by issued U.S. patents covering reusable vehicle panel systems, layered protective architectures, and removable vehicle armor applications. This is engineered armor — not decorative magnet material.

  • Not compatible with aluminum vehicles (JL, JLU, JT, or Bronco)
  • Not gel-based
  • Not interchangeable with Nano-Hold Technology Armor
PPV (Paint Protection Vinyl) — Full Technical Details

Light-duty paint protection • Semi-permanent • Style-forward

PPV is a low-profile vinyl protection option designed for everyday wear areas with a clean, subtle aesthetic.

Best for:

  • Daily drivers
  • Hoods, tailgates, vents, accent areas

What it is NOT:

  • Not reusable
  • Not trail armor
  • Not designed for rock or branch impacts

PPV is a complementary product — not a replacement for trail armor.

Patent-Backed Design Philosophy

MEK Magnet is the inventor and patent holder of reusable, removable vehicle armor systems designed to protect painted body panels while allowing customization, reuse, and clean removal.

Our patents cover:

  • Layered vehicle panel systems
  • Removable protective panel architectures
  • Reusable adhesion and mounting methods
  • Vehicle-specific panel design logic

This technology exists to solve a problem permanent solutions cannot: protection without commitment.

What MEK Magnet Is — and Isn’t (Plus how systems work together)

MEK Magnet is:

  • ✔ A protection ecosystem
  • ✔ Vehicle-specific
  • ✔ Material-specific
  • ✔ Patent-backed
  • ✔ Designed by off-roaders, for off-roaders
  • ✔ Trail tested for real off-road use

MEK Magnet is not:

  • ✖ Universal
  • ✖ Permanent unless stated

How these systems work together (common setups):

  • PPV on hood + Nano-Hold Technology on doors for trail days
  • Magnetic Armor or Nano-Hold Technology Armor for trips + remove after the weekend
  • PPV to accent hood, vents, tailgate, or side body for a wrap-look without wrap price
  • Nano-Hold Technology over factory paint or high-quality wraps for targeted protection

You choose when, where, and how much protection your vehicle gets.
