Pre-Application Preparation: Ensure a clean surface by thoroughly removing any traces of oil, grease, fat, fingerprints, etc., using our recommended PREP solution.
Tools Required: In addition to the coating material, prepare an applicator pad and a microfiber towel.
Application Method:
Apply an adequate amount of the coating material onto the applicator pad, ensuring it’s sufficiently primed for even distribution. If the applicator feels “stuck”, apply more material as needed.
Achieving optimal results when applying a matte surface coating lies in the methodical approach. Employing a systematic technique, such as applying a full part, such as a hood, door ect., ensures a uniform coverage.
Buffing Phase: To promote strong adhesion, refrain from wiping the coating immediately post-application. allow the coating to sit until “sweat” marks appear. This indicates that the coating has fully cross-linked with the surface. Use the microfiber towel to swiftly remove excess material in straight lines; Subsequently, flip the microfiber towel to buff the surface, ensuring no high spots remain.
