The longevity depends on environmental factors and washing frequency, but the hydrophobic properties typically last for several weeks to months, making surfaces easier to clean in the interim.
This product is specifically formulated for automotive glass (windshields and headlights). It is not intended for use on car paintwork.
A minimum cure time of 2 hours is required after application before the treated surfaces can be exposed to water or rain. This allows the ceramic coating to bond properly.
No, the product comes with two high-quality microfiber towels which are ideal for application and buffing. Ensure they are clean before use.
It's best to apply in moderate room temperatures (as stated, not in direct sunlight). Avoid application if temperatures are below freezing or excessively hot.
On the contrary, by reducing the need for frequent wiper use in rain, it can help extend the life of your wiper blades.
This usually occurs if the product was applied too thickly, not buffed off completely, or applied in unfavorable conditions. Ensure the surface was buffed thoroughly with a clean microfiber towel. If streaking persists, re-clean the surface and reapply, ensuring proper buffing and cure time.
Verify that the surface was properly prepared (clean and dry) and that the minimum 2-hour cure time was observed before exposure to water. Reapplication may be necessary if initial application was compromised.
Ensure you are using a clean, high-quality microfiber towel for buffing. If residue is difficult to remove, it may indicate it has cured too much. Try dampening a clean microfiber towel slightly with water and buffing gently.
Application Instructions:
Compatibility:
Suitable for automotive glass, including windshields and headlights. Ensure compatibility with any aftermarket tinting if applying to interior glass (though primarily designed for exterior use).
Care:
Coated surfaces will remain easier to clean. For regular maintenance, wash the vehicle as usual, avoiding abrasive cleaners directly on the treated glass. The hydrophobic properties will gradually diminish over time with exposure to elements and washing.
