Ceramic Coating & PPF Aftercare and Maintenance Guide

‍

Step 1 - Prewash - Begin by degreasing the exterior of the vehicle with a universal degreaser (not brand specific). This process helps loosen debris like road grime, salt, grease, acidic bugs, tar, and tree sap. Spray on soiled surface, entire vehicle recommended based on condition, and leave to react for 30 seconds to a minute before rinsing off with clean water. For best results we recommend using a power washer.

Step 2- Foam Wash -After degreasing the vehicle, add 1mL of pH neutral soap to a 5 gallon bucket of clean water, then add 1mL of pH neutral soap into your foam cannon*, begin spraying foam on car and leave the product to react before washing away. For best results: you must use a low friction microfiber mitt while washing, please do not use low quality sponges, straight line washes preferred (no Mr. Miyagi’s here), and for best results we recommend using a grit guard at the bottom of your wash bucket to prevent recontamination.

Step 3- Post Wash -While the vehicle is still wet, apply M4Smoke as a wet application conditioner. Spray over the surface and spread evenly with your wash mitt. Leave M4SMOKE on for up to 2 minutes and immediately rinse with pure water. Do not leave to dry fully on paint. This step should be done monthly, but does not need to be done every wash.

Step 4- Drying- After washing and conditioning, we recommend using compressed air to dry the vehicle. Whether that is a filtered blower or air compressor, this step is important to reduce abrasion. You may also use an extra plush drying towel, starting at the top and working your way to the bottom of the vehicle.

Step 5 - Final Step- After fully decontaminating the vehicle, apply M2BLAST maintenance spray to the surface. Spray on the surface and wipe away immediately with a clean microfiber towel.

Optional Steps:

Wheel Cleaning- Spray isern on the surface and leave to react. Use a soft brush if needed and wash away with a pressure washer. Do not allow product to dry on the surface and do not apply on tires.

Water Spot Treatment-If water spots occur, use M3FIRE after step 3 and before drying your vehicle. Apply to the surface and wipe immediately with a microfiber towel. Follow by rinsing the vehicle with pure water. Do not allow product to dry on paint. Finish with Step 4.
