Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, start by thoroughly washing and decontaminating your vehicle paint using a clay bar or iron fallout remover if necessary. The surface must be completely dry and free of old waxes or sealants before application. Apply a small amount of Hard Coat to an applicator pad and work in circular motions on a panel-by-panel basis. Wipe off any excess residue with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. While it is safe for satin, vinyl, and PPF, always perform a small test patch in an inconspicuous area if you are unsure about a specific aftermarket material. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain product integrity.
