Ceramic Coating Micro-Suede Swatch Applicator Block The Micro-Suede Swatch Applicator Block gives you a firm, flat backing and a low-drag micro-suede face for even ceramic coating application. Wrap a fresh swatch around the block, lay a thin bead of coating, and glide in controlled cross-hatch passes for a tight, uniform film on paint and gloss trim. Why You'll Love It Even coverage — rigid foam core keeps pressure consistent across flat and slightly curved panels. Low product absorption — micro-suede face helps you use less coating with smoother leveling. Clean workflow — swap to a new swatch as it loads; reduce high-spots and patchiness. Detail-friendly — precise edges help reach pillars, spoilers, and tight areas. Pairs Well With Panel prep: REVEAL — Pre-Coat Surface Prep Paint coatings: CERAMI-X INVICTA, CERAMI-X KRYPTO (Installer Only) Finishing towels (leveling): Premium Edgeless Microfiber Towels — 420 GSM Applicator pads (alternative): D-TAIL MF Applicator Pads — 4-Color Pack How To Use Prep the surface: Correct paint as needed, then wipe panels with REVEAL to remove oils. Wrap & prime: Place a clean micro-suede swatch over the block and secure it around the sides. Apply a thin line of coating to the swatch to prime. Apply: Work a small area (≈2 × 2 ft / 60 × 60 cm) in cross-hatch passes with light pressure for uniform film build. Flash & level: After the indicated flash time for your coating, level with microfiber #1; refine with microfiber #2. Rotate swatches: Replace the swatch as it becomes tacky or loaded to avoid streaks or high-spots. Cure: Follow the coating’s specified cure window before exposure or delivery. Notes: Use fresh, lint-free swatches. Do not apply on hot panels or in direct sun. Dispose of used swatches/towels safely after coating work.
