1. Thorough Wash 🚿 – Clean the vehicle with a pH‑neutral shampoo to strip away dirt, grime, and any old wax or sealant.

2. Decontamination 🧼 – Use a clay bar to remove embedded contaminants, followed by an iron remover to dissolve microscopic metal particles.

3. Paint Correction (if needed) 🔍 – Polish out swirl marks, scratches, or oxidation so the coating bonds to a flawless surface.

4. Surface Prep Wipe‑Down 🧪 – Wipe panels with an isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solution to remove any polishing oils or residues.

5. Application in Sections 🎯 – Apply the ceramic coating to small areas at a time using an applicator pad, ensuring even coverage.

6. Flash & Level ✋ – Wait for the coating to “flash” (slightly haze), then gently buff off excess with a clean microfiber towel.

7. Curing Period ⏳ – Do not wash your vehicle for at least 24–48 hours so the coating can fully bond.

8. Ongoing Maintenance 🛡️ – Wash with gentle, pH‑neutral products and avoid abrasive tools to preserve the coating’s performance.
