Step-by-Step Guide to Application
Step 1: Preparing Your Car
- Wash and Decontaminate: Thoroughly wash and decontaminate your vehicle using a pH-neutral shampoo and a clay bar to remove any impurities.
- Polish if Necessary: If there are any imperfections or swirl marks, polish your car to achieve a smooth, even surface.
- Degrease: Use a degreasing agent to ensure that the surface is free from waxes or oils.
Step 2: Applying Crystal Serum Light
- Set Up Your Environment: Make sure you have a well-lit space, free from dust and dirt.
- Use Personal Protective Equipment: Wear gloves and a mask to protect yourself from chemicals.
- Apply the Serum: Using the supplied applicator, apply a small amount of Crystal Serum Light. Work in small sections, applying in straight lines in a criss-cross pattern to ensure even coverage.
- Allow to Flash: Let the product sit on the surface until it begins to flash a rainbow sheen. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes, depending on the temperature and humidity.
- Buff Off Residue: After it has flashed, buff off the residue using a clean microfiber cloth, ensuring a high shine finish.
Step 3: Curing and Aftercare
- Curing Time: Allow the coating to cure for at least 12-24 hours in a controlled environment, avoiding water contact during this time.
- Regular Maintenance: Wash your car with a pH-neutral shampoo and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives.
