Ceramic Coating Directions: Application: Apply to clean, decontaminated surfaces using a cross-hatch method. Level with the first clean and dry microfiber towel after 1-2 minutes when you see rainbowing starting to appear on the surface, and then buff with a second clean and dry microfiber towel. In some conditions, you might get an immediate rainbowing effect, but make sure you still wait a full 1-2 min before wiping. The coating rainbows very quickly because it is quite reactive, but think of that more like a skin that is forming. On a coating that is lower solids it won’t be so pronounced, but because this coating is quite thick there’s still a lot more wet coating under that “skin”. When you are wiping with the first towel, if you feel like you are pushing it around at first and it looks a little smeary, simply let it sit for a couple of minutes, it will then continue to self level and go clear. Then you can start leveling and buffing. Users should follow the times in the instructions with a minimum of 1 minute, and then adjust upwards if they think their conditions require it. Users could even leave the coating for 4-5 minutes and it’s not going to hurt. Make sure you are well within the required temperature range for application and curing.
