FAQs
How long does the protection typically last?
Durability can vary based on environmental conditions and maintenance. Typically, the hydrophobic properties and gloss enhancement can last several weeks to a few months with proper care.
Can I apply this product in direct sunlight?
It is best to apply in the shade or when the surface is cool. Applying in direct sunlight can cause the product to dry too quickly, leading to application difficulties and potential streaking.
What is SiO2 polymer technology?
SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide) is the main component in ceramic coatings. When combined with polymers, it creates a durable, protective, and hydrophobic layer on your car's paintwork, offering enhanced gloss and protection.
Does this product remove existing wax or sealant?
No, this product is designed to be applied over existing treatments. It will enhance their appearance and add its own layer of protection and gloss without removing what is already there.
How much product should I use per application?
Use sparingly. A thin, even coat is all that is needed. Over-application will not increase durability but will make buffing more difficult and can lead to wasted product.
Is this a sealant or a wax?
It is a hybrid system combining advanced SiO2 polymer technology with wax properties, offering benefits of both for enhanced protection, gloss, and hydrophobicity.
Can I use this on matte paint finishes?
This product is designed to enhance gloss and is not recommended for matte paint finishes, as it may alter the finish's appearance.
Troubleshooting
Product appears streaky after buffing
This can happen if too much product was applied or if it was buffed off too soon or too late. Ensure a thin, even coat is applied and buffed when the haze is present but not fully dried. Use a clean, soft microfiber towel for buffing and work in small sections.
Water beading is not as pronounced as expected
Ensure the surface was perfectly clean and dry before application. Contaminants can hinder the bonding of the SiO2 polymers. Reapplication after a thorough wash and decontamination might be necessary.
Masking of swirls and holograms is not fully effective
This product is designed to mask *minor* imperfections. For deeper scratches or significant swirl marks, professional paint correction will be required. Super Ceramic can help improve the appearance of light defects.
Product feels difficult to buff off
This often indicates the product has been left to dry for too long or the application layer was too thick. Try buffing a smaller, freshly applied section or use a slightly damp microfiber towel to help lift stubborn residue, then immediately follow with a dry microfiber towel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This product requires no complex setup. It is ready to use straight from the bottle. Ensure the surface you are applying it to is clean, dry, and cool to the touch for optimal adhesion and performance.
Compatibility:
CarPlan No.1 Super Ceramic is compatible with all types of car paintwork, including clear coats. It can also be safely applied to wheels, rubber trim, and plastic exterior trim. Importantly, it can be applied over existing wax, sealant, or ceramic coatings to boost gloss and hydrophobic properties.
Care:
To maintain the finish, regular washing with a pH-neutral car shampoo is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which can degrade the protective layer. For best results, dry the vehicle after washing using a clean microfiber drying towel to prevent water spots. The product's durability is enhanced by gentle care and avoiding harsh chemical exposure.
