Application Tips for a Perfect Finish

Preparation is Key

  1. Thorough Cleaning: Ensure the vehicle’s surface is clean and free of contaminants. Use a clay bar and an iron remover to prepare the surface.

  2. Polishing: Correct any imperfections with a quality polish to create a smooth, blemish-free surface.

  3. Degreasing: Use an IPA (isopropyl alcohol) solution to remove oils and residues for better adhesion of the coating.

General Application Guidelines

  • Use a Microfibre Applicator: Microfibre applicators make applying the coating a breeze, ensuring even distribution and reducing the risk of streaks.

  • Less is More: When applying, remember that it’s better to use a small amount and apply multiple thin layers than to overapply. This helps avoid sweating and ensures a smoother finish.

  • Wipe-Off Technique: The coating doesn’t provide a strong visual cue like a rainbow effect. Pay close attention during the wipe-off process to ensure there are no high spots.

  • Coverage Efficiency: With practice, you can coat 3-4 cars with just 50ml of product, making it a cost-effective solution.

Tips Specific to HPC Pro

  • Professional Accreditation: As a professional-grade product, HPC Pro requires accreditation before purchase. Ensure you’ve completed the necessary steps for certification.

  • Sweating Prevention: When used as a topper, avoid overapplication to prevent sweating. Less is more.

Tips Specific to HPC 2.0

  • User-Friendly Design: HPC 2.0 is formulated for easy use, making it ideal for mobile detailers and DIY enthusiasts.

  • Layering: Like HPC Pro, it’s better to apply multiple thin coats rather than a single thick one to achieve optimal results.

Final Steps: Curing and Maintenance

  1. Curing Time: Allow the coating to cure for at least 12 hours in a dust-free environment. Avoid exposure to water for 24 hours.

  2. Maintenance: Use pH-neutral shampoos for regular washes to preserve the coating’s hydrophobic properties and shine.
