Life insurance for your paint. Beadlock Pro ceramic paint coating creates a hard-sacrificial barrier which shields your paint from the abuse coming from the sun and other harsh elements. How does it work? Beadlock Pro contains SiO2 (silica dioxide) which is the primary component of glass and is what gives glass its strength and hardness. This integrated SiO2 technology makes this product far more durable and hydrophobic than any wax or sealant. This easy-to-apply coating is specifically designed to protect your paint from the unique conditions it sees both on and off-road. Whether you simply cruise the pavement or get down in the dirt Beadlock Pro ceramic paint coating can take the abuse. Product may be used on single-stage paint, gel coat, and clear coated paint surfaces. Kit Includes: (1) Glass 100ml bottle of Beadlock Pro (1) Ceramic Coating Applicator Pad Watch application video. Directions: Prep: Decontaminate the paint surface using Smooth Move paint decontaminater followed by claying the surface with a clay bar and Shine Mist clay lube. Polish the paint to reduce any surface defects and create maximum gloss. Wipe down the surface with Throw Back paint cleanser to remove any oils/residue left from your polishing step. Apply: Shake Beadlock Pro well. Apply directly onto the applicator pad and spread product evenly onto the surface. Product will have an “oil slick/rainbow” look to it as it begins to dry. This effect should begin within seconds. Give it 45-60 seconds to set up and then remove using a clean microfiber towel. Using an additional towel, lightly wipe over the area again to ensure product is even and level on the surface. Once you have wiped with the second towel the coating will begin to “set-up”. Do not go back into an area minutes later and re-wipe or you could cause streaking. How do you know it’s ready to be removed? Perform a test spot with your microfiber towel. The coating will have some slight resistance when you wipe. This slight resistance lets you know it’s ready for removal. If you have difficulty removing the product, you waited too long. Pro Tips: Applying in colder conditions will give you a longer time frame before wipe-off. Applying in hotter conditions will give you a shorter time frame before you wipe-off. Our Slick Back primer polish will usually remove any product that was left on the paint too long. FAQ's Q - How many vehicles can you coat with a 100ml bottle?
