QUARTZ99. Layerable quartz base coat

QUARTZ99 must be applied by a NANOLAB Certified Installer Only!

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 on small areas such as: 1 door, 1/2 hood etc.
Apply in an air-conditioned area with low temperature and low humidity
Do not apply in a direct wind area

1. 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.
2. Commence by outlining the area for application, starting from the surface edges. Then, create a central X shape to facilitate uniform coverage.
3. Employ crisscross motions to spread the material along the X and Y axes, ensuring thorough 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.

Curing Times:
Tack-Free / Top-Coat: 40 Minutes
Initial Curing: 6 hours
First Wash: As Recommended For The Top-Coat
Full Curing: 14 days
