Which way to apply

Important

Avoid mistakes

  • !Never apply to wet, dirty or un-degreased paint — the coating won't bond correctly.
  • !Check the forecast: raindrops on fresh coating cause white spots.
  • !Never apply in very hot weather or strong direct sunlight.
  • !Work one panel at a time and finish it before moving on.
  • !Within 1 hour: a mistake can be wiped off with industrial alcohol, IPA or degreaser, then reapplied.
  • !After 3 hours: removal needs machine polishing.
  • !If severe marks or streaks appear, wipe the whole panel and reapply from scratch — do not spot-fix partly cured areas.
