FAQs

How long does the McLaren Ceramic Dura Coating last?

The coating is designed to provide protection for up to 12 months, depending on environmental conditions and vehicle maintenance.

Can I apply this coating in direct sunlight?

No, it is crucial not to apply the product in direct sunlight to prevent it from drying too quickly on the surface, which can lead to issues like streaking.

What is the best way to prepare the surface before application?

The surface must be clean, dry, and completely free of any wax, contaminants, or residues. A thorough wash, decontamination, and drying process is essential.

How do I use the included microfiber cloths?

Use one microfiber cloth (or application sponge) to spread the product and a second, clean, dry microfiber cloth to buff the surface to a high gloss. The cloths are also ideal for general car cleaning tasks.

Is this product suitable for all car surfaces?

The coating is generally suitable for most automotive paint finishes. It is not recommended for matte or satin finishes unless tested in an inconspicuous area first.

How should I wash my car after applying the coating?

Use pH-neutral car shampoos and avoid abrasive cleaning methods to maintain the coating's integrity and performance. Do not wash the vehicle for at least 24-48 hours after application.

Do I need to apply a second coat?

Applying a second coat is recommended for optimal results, providing enhanced gloss and longer-lasting hydrophobic effects.

Troubleshooting

Streaking or hazy finish after buffing.

This can occur if the product was allowed to dry too long before buffing or if the microfiber cloth was saturated. Buff again with a clean, dry section of the microfiber cloth. If streaking persists, reapply to the affected area, ensuring to buff off within the recommended time frame.

Product seems difficult to spread evenly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and free of any residue. Apply in a slightly cooler environment. If the product is challenging to spread, you may be using too much product; use lighter sprays.

Water beading is not as strong as expected.

Verify that the surface was thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated before application. Environmental factors can also influence performance. Ensure a second coat was applied for optimal hydrophobic effects.
