CERAMIC SHIELD PRO- 5 YEAR CERAMIC COATING

How to use

For optimal application ensure that the vehicle is clean and free from surface contaminants.

We recommend carrying out a paint correction stage prior to using a ceramic coating for optimal adhesion and finish.

• The surfaces to be coated should first be treated with Prep -It surface preparation solution or equivalent to remove any residual polishing oils. ( Surface must be cool and dry)
• To prime your new suede applicator, apply approximately 5-6 drops of coating spaced evenly across the surface. Upon subsequent applications, a thin line applied along the centre will be sufficient.
• Apply the product evenly to an area of no more than 40x40cm (15×15 inches) ensuring complete coverage and an even layer. We recommend using a cross-hatch application technique to achieve this.
• Allow the product to remain on the surface for 1-2 minutes before removing. Using a clean lint-free towel lightly buff the area to level the coating before using a second towel to remove the remaining product. Always buff an area that is larger than that of the initial application to prevent product transfer and curing on adjacent panels.
• Check the area with a suitable light source to identify any high spots or remaining residue. For a short period of time, high spots may be removed by applying the additional product and removing it immediately. Care should be taken to identify and remove any streaks or high spots before curing is complete.
• Allow the coating to cure for approx 18-24 hrs at ambient temperature before exposing it to rain/moisture for maximum durability. During the first 48hrs after application, any water droplets should be removed by drying where possible to avoid the possibility of mineral deposits affecting the coating.
• Curing can be accelerated by the use of infrared heaters/lamps

Remember temperature and humidity can affect the flash time of ceramic coatings. Higher temperatures or humidity levels may reduce removal times.

Ceramic coatings can crystallise on your applicator during installation, we recommend changing your applicator towels at least once during the process.

Coating Maintenance

Do not wash the vehicle for at least 7 days after application to allow the coating to fully harden before contact washing.

Use only Ph neutral or balanced products to clean the vehicle. The use of quality wash media and drying towels is also recommended.

Recommended Maintenance products

For your prewash needs, we recommend Superfoam PH neutral snow foam for regular washing.

For the contact wash stage consider our Ceramic infused shampoo to clean and actively help maintain the ceramic coating at its optimum performance level.
