Ceramic glaze care
CONGRATULATIONS
Our Ceramic GLAZE is designed to protect your factory clear coat, to provide a protective shield against the elements and to keep your vehicle looking new. To maximize the effects of our Ceramic GLAZE and to ensure your investment is long lasting, a few basic maintenance steps should be taken. With simple care, your coating will reward you for years to come..
Curing Time
Curing time is 2-3 weeks depending on environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature. Take special care during this time period. The coating can help prevent your clear coat from water spots as it is extremely hydrophobic. Our GLAZE however is not bullet proof and can still get hard water spots. The coating is less likely to etch than your factory clear, but it can especially get water spots during the curing process and can be costly to remove.
During the curing process avoid:
- Parking under any trees if there are shedding. Tree sap and leaves aren't good on a fresh coating.
- Allowing bird droppings, sap or pollen to sit on your vehicle especially in the sun.
- Washing or the coated areas.
If you notice that your car gets water spots, bird droppings, bugs, tree sap or other contaminants during the first two weeks, immediately remove it following our care instructions. Keep in mind the coating is still soft. Be gentle when working on the paint.
Washing & Care
Washing your vehicle at home
Our GLAZE has the glass effect which means most things will dissolve and be pulled off by the self-cleaning effect. Minimizing rubbing, (especially with a dry towel) on the coating will ensure its longevity. Use a Ceramic Coating Cleaner or non-chemical cleaner to remove bird droppings, bugs, and tree sap. Followed by wiping it off with a soft edge-less microfiber towel.
Washing schedule
For best results the vehicle should be washed on a bi-weekly basis to avoid excessive contamination build-up. Use only recommended mild soaps.
Avoid high volume brush style car washes, and high PH detergent style cleaners.
Avoid washing in direct sunlight to minimize streaking and water spotting.
Wash from the top down leaving the dirtiest sections for last to avoid cross contamination.
Use separate soap.
RIMS must be washed or hosed off regularly to prevent etching and burns from the high heat that the brake dust will provide.
Washing Methods
Standard home washing
Use a microfiber wash mitt to soap down the car. Rinse it off with a pressure washer (optimal) or hose. Dry with clean microfiber towels. Foam gun method of washing can be used as well.
Spray ‘n wash self car washes
Select the high pressure soap. Soap the car down (never use the provided brushes especially on the paint!). Rinse car off with the high pressure rinse. Dry with clean microfiber towels.
Car washes
We offer a hand car wash but if your in a rush goto Touch-less car washes only. Never use a car wash with brushes! Never select the “spray wax” option.
Drying
Drying your GLAZE will give you a good eye to see if any areas have been affected. Most effective way to dry your vehicle to first use a damp microfiber followed by using second microfiber to finish drying the vehicle.
- Always dry completely and never leave to “air” dry. Tap water contains minerals that may leave deposits creating water spots.
- Only use quality microfiber towels for best results and avoid aggressive wiping, allowing the material to absorb the water.
Spot Removal
Stop by our shop or use these step if you see any spots or if ice sticks.
- Never use aggressive products to polish the coating or remove surface contamination.
- Never use excessive force to remove spots.
- Bird droppings, tar, sap, etc. should be removed as soon as possible to avoid temporary staining or hardening on the coating. Any staining left behind from bird droppings will break down over a few days without affecting the Glaze
- DO NOT use a scraper on ice or snow. The Glaze will most likely scratch causing a re-application fee
Upkeep Inspections
Annual Inspections
Annual Inspections are the recommended process (not mandatory) for ensuring the coating is maintained and care for the vehicle is properly executed. At the time of completion we will schedule you a yearly maintenance if requested. Although durable and long lasting, annual inspections ensure maximum gloss and protection.
