FAQs
How long does the protection last?
The durability can vary depending on environmental conditions and washing frequency. Typically, users can expect several weeks to a few months of enhanced protection and gloss before reapplication is recommended.
Can I use this on matte paint finishes?
This product is designed to enhance gloss. It is not recommended for use on matte or satin paint finishes, as it may alter their appearance.
Does it require a special applicator?
While a foam applicator pad is recommended for even application, a clean, soft microfiber cloth can also be used. Always use clean towels for buffing.
How often should I apply it?
For best results and consistent protection, it is recommended to reapply every 1-3 months, or whenever you notice a reduction in water beading or gloss.
Can I layer this product with other waxes or sealants?
Yes, CarPlan No.1 Super Ceramic can be applied over existing paintwork treatments like waxes or sealants to enhance their gloss and hydrophobic properties.
What is the difference between this and a professional ceramic coating?
Professional ceramic coatings are typically more durable and offer longer-lasting protection (years rather than months). This product uses hybrid SiO2 technology for a strong protective layer but is designed for easier DIY application and a shorter reapplication cycle.
Does it remove existing scratches?
The product is designed to mask and hide minor swirl marks and holograms, making them less visible. It does not remove or repair deeper scratches.
Troubleshooting
Product leaves streaks or is difficult to buff off
You may have applied too much product or are trying to buff it off before it has hazed correctly. Apply a smaller amount of product and ensure it hazes slightly before buffing with a clean microfiber towel. If streaking persists, re-dampen a microfiber towel slightly and buff the affected area.
Water beading is not as intense as expected
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and prepped before application. Contaminants on the paint can affect the product's performance. Reapply the product after a proper wash and decontamination.
Product appears cloudy after application
This can happen if the product was applied in very humid conditions or if residue was not fully buffed off. Buff the area again with a clean, dry microfiber towel. If cloudiness remains, a light polish may be needed, followed by reapplication.
