    Section 1: Preparing Your Vehicle for Perfection

    Before you apply the coating, you need to make sure your car is ready for the shine.

    1. Start with a Clean Surface 🧽

    • Use a high-quality car shampoo to wash the vehicle thoroughly, removing any surface dirt or grime.
    • Dry the car completely to avoid water spots.

    2. Optional - Clay Bar Magic ✨

    • For a glass-smooth finish, use a clay bar to remove embedded contaminants like tree sap, bird droppings, or industrial fallout. This step is optional but highly recommended for maximum results.

    3. Optional -Β De-grease Like a Pro πŸ’§

    • Wipe down the surface with isopropyl alcohol using a microfiber cloth. This ensures no oils or residue remain, creating the perfect base for the coating to bond.

    Pro Tip: Always work in a shaded area to avoid premature drying or water spots during preparation!

    Section 2: Application Process

    Now that your car is ready, let’s get that shine on! 🌟

    1. Gear Up 🧀

    • Put on your applicator gloves to keep oils off the surface and your hands protected.

    2. Shake It Up πŸ”„

    • Shake the bottle well to ensure the graphene formula is evenly mixed.

    3. Coat Like a Pro πŸ–ŒοΈ

    • Wrap the cotton applicator cloth around the block, then place a synthetic cloth over it.
    • Apply a few drops of the coating to the applicator and begin applying to one panel at a time.
    • Use a crisscross pattern to ensure even coverage.

    4. Bonding Time ⏱

    • Allow the coating to bond for 2-6 minutes per section (adjust for temperature and humidity).
    • Keep an eye on the coating as it starts to form a slight haze.

    5. Buff to Shine ✨

    • After bonding, use a clean microfiber towel to gently buff the surface, removing excess product and revealing the glossy finish.

    Pro Tip: Always use a light touch when buffing - let the towel do the work!
    Pro Tip: Keep a high amount of coating on the cloth - don't worry you won't run out quickly

    Section 3: Post-Application Care

    You’ve applied the coating – now let’s make sure it lasts! πŸ›‘οΈ

    1. Curing Time πŸ•’

    • Keep the vehicle dry and out of the elements for at least 48 hours to ensure proper curing.
    • Avoid washing the vehicle for 7 days after application.

    2. Regular Maintenance πŸš—

    • Use a pH-neutral car shampoo for regular cleaning to maintain the coating’s integrity and shine.
    • Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals.

    3. Top-Up Coating πŸ› οΈ

    • For extra longevity, consider applying a top-up coat every 6-12 months to maintain peak protection and gloss.

    Pro Tip: The longer you let the coating cure, the better the protection will be. Always check for high-traffic areas like the hood or roof that may need extra attention. We have attempted to go up to 10 minutes. But it does get harder to take off.

    Pro Tip: If you accidently leave it on

    Section 4: Advanced Pre-Preparation Process (Optional)

    For those looking for the ultimate finish on their vehicle, taking these extra steps will set your ride apart from the rest!

    1. Polishing πŸ’Ž

    • If your vehicle has minor scratches or swirl marks, use a polishing machine before applying the coating. This ensures an even smoother surface for the coating to bond to.

    2. Scratch Repair πŸ› 

    • If there are visible scratches, use a scratch repair kit before application. Polishing helps reduce these marks and allows the coating to lay flat on the surface.

    Section 5: Post-Application (Aftercare and Maintenance)

    Once your coating has cured, keeping it in top shape will make it last for years!

    1. Washing and Maintenance 🧼

    • Wash your vehicle regularly with a pH-neutral soap. This prevents buildup of dirt and maintains the hydrophobic properties of the coating.

    2. Avoid Harsh Cleaners 🚫

    • Stay away from harsh chemicals or abrasive cloths that could strip away the coating.

    3. Reapplication πŸ”„

    • Depending on the climate and usage, apply a top-up coat every 6-12 months to maintain maximum protection and shine.

    Safety and Tips:

    • πŸ”₯ Use in Well-Ventilated Area: Always apply the coating in a space with adequate airflow.
    • 🚫 Store Properly: Keep the product in a cool, dry place, securely out of reach of children and pets.
    • πŸͺŸ Windows Caution: Apply cautiously on windows and remove within 5 minutes to prevent visibility issues.
