Important
Avoid mistakes

- !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.
