2. Opsætning
2.1 Forberedelse
Proper preparation is crucial for optimal results. Ensure the vehicle's paint is already corrected, which may include clay bar treatment and paint correction to remove imperfections. The application should be performed in a clean environment, out of direct sunlight, and on a cool-to-touch surface.
Before applying the coating, wipe the paint with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue from the paint correction process. This ensures a clean surface for the ceramic coating to bond effectively.

4.1 Post-Application Curing
Allow the coating to cure for a minimum of 2 hours at 65°F (18°C) or higher before returning the vehicle to the customer or exposing it to moisture. For optimal durability and performance, allow the coating to cure for a full 24 hours at 65°F (18°C) or higher before washing the vehicle.
