Application Instructions:
Surface Prep: Start with a clean, dry, decontaminated surface. Wipe down with DIY Detail Panel Prep.
Apply Coating: Wearing gloves in a well-ventilated area, prime the applicator with 8–10 drops of coating. Apply 1–2 drops per panel using circular motions on small sections (e.g., a front fender).
Dwell: Allow coating to dwell 2–5 minutes, depending on temperature and humidity, until it begins to cross-link and appear like an oil slick.
Level: When ~50% of the surface clears, lightly wipe with a short-nap towel if needed. Level with a DIY Level One Towel, then follow with a Freebird 400 towel for a perfect finish.
Post-Application: Coating requires 1 hour before rain exposure. Wait 3 days before washing with DIY Detail Rinse Less Wash.
Safety Note: Apply in a well-ventilated area and wear a mask if necessary.
