The top-of-the-line DIY Detail 8-year coating is pro-grade, yet user-friendly for the DIY Detailing enthusiast. Extended durability is provided by a proven composite of polysiloxane, SiN, SiC and Si02. Easy enough for anyone to apply, but with the durability of the best pro-only ceramic coatings. Directions: start with a clean and dry surface. wipe down with DIY Detail panel prep. wearing gloves, in a well ventilated area, apply several drops to the applicator pad. working in a circular motion apply the DIY Detail Ceramic Coating to a small area ( a front fender for example). allow to dwell 2-5 minutes ( dwell time is dependent on temperature and humidity). observe the surface, as the coating begins to cross link to the paint, the coating will transition from a liquid to what looks like an oil slick on water. when 50% of the surface turns back to clear, start leveling the coating. with a short nap towel, lightly wipe the surface, if the towel is dragging, or is getting wet, wait 1 min more. once the coating leveled, use a plush towel to buff and remove high spots. Comes with a foam applicator.
