FAQs
Can I apply Crystal Serum Light over wax?
No. The paint must be completely bare, stripped of all oils and waxes, to ensure the ceramic bond.
How long should I wait before washing the car?
Wait at least 24 hours after application before exposing the paint to water or washing the vehicle.
Does this product work on matte paint?
It is designed for gloss finishes. It may alter the look of matte or satin surfaces, so testing on an inconspicuous area is recommended.
How many coats do I need?
A single, even application is sufficient. Layering does not provide additional durability.
Can I use it on glass or plastic?
It is specifically formulated for automotive paint. Use dedicated products for glass and trim for best results.
What happens if it rains before the cure time?
If the coating is exposed to water during the first 24 hours, you may see water spotting. Wipe it down immediately with a clean microfiber towel.
Troubleshooting
Coating is difficult to wipe off
You may have left the product on the paint for too long. Apply a fresh layer of the product to the affected area to re-liquefy the coating and wipe off immediately.
High spots or streaks visible after curing
These are areas of excess product. Use a light polish or a dedicated panel wipe to gently remove the high spot and re-apply if necessary.
Water spots forming shortly after application
The coating was likely exposed to moisture before it fully cured. If they are fresh, use a quick detailer; if they have etched, the section may require light polishing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, the vehicle must be thoroughly decontaminated. Start by washing, claying, and performing a machine polish to remove existing wax, sealants, or minor surface defects. The surface must be treated with a panel wipe solution to remove all polishing oils. Apply in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight. To maintain the coating, avoid aggressive car washes and use a pH-neutral shampoo. Regularly topping the coating with a dedicated ceramic maintenance spray will help extend its life and refresh the hydrophobic properties.
