Pre-Application Preparation: Ensure a pristine surface by thoroughly polishing and 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 two microfiber towels. Opt for towels of different colors if possible for better organization.
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.
- Commence by outlining the area for application, starting from the surface edges. Then, create a central X shape to facilitate uniform coverage.
- Employ crisscross motions to spread the material along the X and Y axes, ensuring thorough coverage.
- For optimal results, consider applying an additional layer while the previous one is still “liquid” to guarantee complete coverage.
Buffing Phase: To promote strong adhesion, refrain from wiping the coating immediately post-application. Allow it to haze over or display the rainbow effect before proceeding. Use the first towel to swiftly remove excess material in straight lines; speed is key at this stage, with no need for perfection. Subsequently, utilize the second towel to buff the surface in circular motions, ensuring no high spots remain.
