Prep Application
1.Clean any loose dust, dirt, and contaminants from the surface.
2.Clay bar any rough embedded contaminants from the surface to ensure no impurities interfere with the properties of the coating.
3.Polish/Compound to remove any paint defects in the form of scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation. Graphene Matrix is a semi-permanent coating so once applied any defects will remain sealed underneath.
4.Deep clean any polish oils or residues from the surface that could inhibit the bonding process using Degreaser.
5.Remove any residual water that can be hiding underneath panel gaps, headlights, or taillights which could drip out and affect the coatings curing process
Application steps
1.Shake bottle well. Apply a few drops of NC5 Nano Ceramic Coating onto your applicator until evenly covered.
2.Starting with horizontal/top surfaces first, applying in straight lines slightly overlapping from one line to the next. Work in small areas approximately 3’x3′ or the size of a door or half a hood at a time. Temperature and humidity will determine coverage areas allowable between application and removal.
3.Applicators should glide smoothly on the surface while laying down an even layer of coating. If the applicator starts to drag or the application becomes inconsistent, apply additional drops to the applicator.
4.Immediately after application, you will notice a “Rainbow Effect” (More prevalent on dark colors) while the applied coating bonds to the surface. Roughly 1-3 min after application, the “Rainbow” will start to turn into a haze/fog, this means the coating is ready for removal.
5.Using premium microfiber towels, thoroughly wipe down the section to remove the Graphene Coating residue. Your first wipe should remove about 80% of the residue, and your second wipe should easily remove the remainder. Use small, circular motions and little to no pressure during removal.
6.Repeat these steps as you move along the rest of your vehicle. Coating the paint, plastics, trim, and glass surfaces in the same manner. When layering one-hour minimum is required between coats.
7.Let the coating fully dry/cure for at least 48 hours before allowing it to get wet. The longer it stays dry the better, as it will continue to cure for about 5 days (you can drive the car during this time).
