Troubleshooting
Water beading is not visible after application.
Ensure the product has fully cured and that the surface was sufficiently clean before application. In some cases, a second coat might be necessary for very porous surfaces.
The cream is not penetrating the surface.
Check that the surface is clean and dry. Very dense or previously treated surfaces may need to be lightly abraded to improve absorption.
White residue appears on the surface after application.
This is often excess cream. Wipe the surface with a clean, damp cloth after the product has dried.
