Before applying any of our Spray-On Clear Coat systems, thoroughly wash the surface using our Pre-Cleaner (included only in the Complete Kit) and a light gray scuff pad. This process helps remove dirt, grime, oxidation, and contaminants while also creating a mechanical adhesion for the clear coat to properly bond.
For additional surface prep, you may also lightly sand the surface using 600–800 grit sandpaper.
If the surface has failing, peeling, or flaking clear coat, use 600 grit sandpaper to feather the edges of the damaged clear coat to create a smooth and even transition into the surrounding surface.
Once prep is complete, thoroughly rinse the surface and allow it to dry completely before moving to the next step.
Once the surface is fully dry from the prep process, wipe the entire surface down using our Wax & Grease Remover to remove any remaining contaminants, oils, residue, sanding dust, or debris prior to coating.
Make sure all Wax & Grease Remover has completely flashed off and the surface is fully dry before moving on to the next step.
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment during mixing and spraying. (Respirator Mask w/ Filters)
Apply only in a well-ventilated area between 50°F and 77°F ambient and surface temperature for best overall results.

Mix Glossed Out Clear Coat with Glossed Out Activator at a 4:1 ratio.
Mix Satin Clear Coat with Satin Clear Catalyst at a 4:1 ratio.

Thin products with Uni-Solv (not required) if needed depending on spray setup, temperature, and application preference.
Thoroughly mix product prior to spraying.
A properly cleaned and scuffed surface helps the coating bond more evenly and consistently.
Apply at least two medium wet coats for best overall finish and durability.
Allow approximately 15–20 minutes flash time between coats depending on temperature, airflow, and humidity conditions.
Avoid excessively heavy coats, as lighter even coats generally produce better overall finish consistency.
Surfaces may be recoated for up to 12 hours after application.
After 12 hours, the surface must be lightly scuffed or sanded using 600–800 grit sandpaper before applying additional coats.
Proper surface preparation between coats is critical for long-term adhesion and finish quality.
• Allow coating to air dry at 50°F or above.
• When force dried at 120°F, cure time is approximately 30 minutes.
• Fully cured in approximately 24 hours.
If buffing is required, sand using 1500 grit or finer sandpaper within 24–48 hours of clear coat application.
If you notice any imperfections after the clear coat has cured, don’t worry the finish can be corrected.
Simply wet sand the affected area using 1500 grit sandpaper to smooth out imperfections, then polish and buff the surface to restore the finish.
Maintain your newly restored finish using products from our Detail Line Up for continued gloss, protection, and surface maintenance.
For long-term maintenance and additional protection, we recommend our Clear Coat Maintenance Duo featuring our Wash & Wax and Detail Spray with Ceramic after the clear coat has fully cured.
