How to Use

Paint Preparation (Critical for Best Results)

Step 1: Wash the vehicle thoroughly with an alkaline shampoo such as Koch Chemie Green Star (avoid sealant shampoos).
Step 2: Remove heavy contamination like tar, sap, rust film, or overspray using clay bars and dedicated cleaners.
Step 3: Correct the paint using:

• Heavy Cut H9.01 for severe defects

• Fine Cut F6.01 for moderate defects

• Micro Cut M3.02 for hologram removal
  Step 4: Completely remove polish residue with clean microfiber towels.
  Step 5: Wipe all surfaces with a diluted Silicone & Wax Remover (1:4) to eliminate surfactants and oils.
  Step 6: Do NOT touch the paint with bare hands after prep (avoid cross-linking disturbance). Use gloves.

Wax Application

Step 7: Gently press the supplied wax applicator into the can to load product.
Step 8: Apply a thin, even layer of wax to one section at a time.
Step 9: Allow the wax to haze (“flash off”), then buff with a clean microfiber towel.
Step 10: Repeat panel by panel until the entire vehicle is protected.

Pro Tip:
For maximum gloss longevity, hand wash using soft tools, plenty of water, and gentle drying towels. Avoid stiff brushes or harsh wash mitts that can strip wax or scratch the surface.
