    How to apply Detailer's Paint Coating

    How to apply Detailer's Paint Coating


    I recommend using the softest foam applicator pads you can obtain, you want a foam that is soft and gentle to the paint. It's a good idea to wear safety gloves anytime you're working with any car care chemicals as a safety precaution. Like my friend Renny Doyle says,

    "If it's on your skin it's in you"






    Here's Eric wearing black nitrile gloves, if you don't have any Autogeek stocks multiple sizes. Add some to your order to make sure you always have plenty on hand... no pun intended.





    Technique Tip
    Because dry foam does not glide over paint in a slippery manner, when first starting out, mist a spray of the Detailer's Paint Coating directly onto the face of the foam applicator pad, this instantly primes the pad and will make spreading the coating you spray onto the panel easier and safer to spread and work into the paint.







    Mist 1-2 sprays per panel
    Next mist 1-2 sprays of the paint coating onto the panel to be protected. Sprayer on the bottle does a really great job of atomizing the product just be sure pump the spray head firmly to force the liquid to properly atomize.





    Carefully spread the product out over the panel
    Use gentle overlapping circular motions to spread the product out over the panel to be treated and work the product into the paint till you see it disappear.










    Wipe panel before moving on to the next panel
    After treating a panel, carefully wipe any high points, which are really "excess product" off the surface. Give each panel a careful inspection as you're wiping and buff the panel to a high gloss, dry shine.

    Product is very easy to use and works great. Used it on my 2010 Silverado a few wks back. A few days later it rained while I was at work, came out after work and the water had sheeted off the paint after the rain stopped. The only way to tell it had been out in the rain was that the windows had some water spots. The paint was still visually clean with no waterspots at all.

    The technique tip above is essential. The first time I tried using it I had the foam pad grab and fly out of my hand.

    Correct.

    Think about it. If you're using a chemical that some how has the ability to bond to paint and last up to three years. It's made from nano-ceramic glass particles, I think that implies very tiny particles, you don't want this on your skin.


    As my good friend Renny Doyle says,


    If it's on your skin... it's in you....


    No matter what coating you're going to use... add a box of nitrile gloves onto your order and work safe.


    They don't cost much and their like a form of physical health insurance to protect you on the outside as well as the inside.

    Black Nitrile Gloves

    Thank You for the article..

    So when you apply the actual coating, you are supposed to "buff" it off right away? Or let it sit for several minutes?

    You buff off high spots, you should be applying it and it'll melt into the paint so to speak. It's not a buff off project, you spray, spread, and if it's not level buff the spot.
    Back to the full-time grind.
