Step 1: Paintwork Preparation with UHD Preparation
This stage is essential for providing the perfect surface to allow UHD Ceramic Coating to fully bond to the paintwork.
- Ensure the vehicle is clean, dry and free of surface contaminants. It is recommended to wash the car thoroughly with a car shampoo and remove any fallout with a fallout remover or clay bar. For the perfect finish, light scratches and swirl marks should also be removed using a suitable polish or scratch remover at this stage.
- Thoroughly wipe down all of the paintwork with UHD Preparation to remove any existing waxes, sealants or oils still present on the surface. Apply the product directly to the Preparation Cloth and then wipe over the paintwork systematically in straight lines, ensuring all areas intended to be coated are covered. Wipe away any remaining residue with a dry part of the Preparation Cloth, turning the cloth regularly to avoid saturation.
Step 2: Paintwork Protection with UHD Ceramic Coating
- Before you begin, carefully plan your application process. Ideally, you will want to work in 50cm x 50cm sections (an average-sized panel) at a time. Ambient temperature and humidity will affect the drying and curing times. We recommend determining the optimum flashing time on the first panel you coat.
- Once applied, the liquid will begin to evaporate. When the product appears to have formed small beads and a light film is beginning to form, this is the time to buff. On warmer days this will take 1-2 minutes, on cooler days 3-5 minutes. Use this first panel as your guide for the rest of the car.
- Apply UHD Ceramic Coating in straight lines using the UHD Ceramic Coating Applicator, taking care not to apply too much liquid.
- After applying to one average-sized panel, and allowing the appropriate flashing time, buff well using the red Finishing Cloth.
- Move onto the next panel, adding small amounts of product to the UHD Ceramic Coating Applicator if required and buff when ready.
- Once you have coated and buffed all intended areas, change the position of the car or use a light to view the paintwork from different angles to perform a spot check. Re-buff any missed sections with the Finishing Cloth.
- Finally, allow UHD Ceramic Coating to fully cure on your car for a minimum of 4 hours. During this period it must remain out of wet weather and away from environments with high dust or airborne contamination.
- Do not wash the vehicle for 24 hours after application.
Note: If the product has been left to cure for too long it may become difficult to remove. If this happens, simply apply more product over that specific area and buff immediately. Remove any excess product from plastic or glass with UHD Preparation before it dries. UHD Ceramic Coating cannot be used on any surface other than painted bodywork. Do not use on matte or satin paint finishes.
