HOW TO:

PREPARING THE SURFACE

1. Thoroughly wash your bike using Nano Tech Bike Cleaner, Punk Powder or Snow Foam, then ensure it is completely dry before starting the coating process
2. Depending on the condition of the paint or surface, perform the appropriate level of paint correction to remove any defects including swirl marks, water spots, and scratches. Keep in mind this product is very durable and will seal in any imperfections
3. Remove any excess paint correction or wax/polish residue by wiping all painted surfaces with surface prep spray. Simply spray onto the microfibre cloth and wipe down

CERAMIC COATING APPLICATION

1. Muc-Off recommend applying the coating in a cool, dry, clean area, inside with good lighting and ventilation. For non-factory finishes test a small inconspicuous area prior to full coverage.
2. Shake the bottle thoroughly for 10 seconds to activate the formula.
3. Muc-Off recommend wearing protective gloves when applying the coating.
4. Unscrew the child-resistant cap, then apply the coating sparingly and evenly along the provided microfibre applicator pad. (A little coating goes a long way).
5. Starting at the highest surfaces, work in a crosshatch #, overlapping pattern to ensure all areas are coated. Muc-Off recommend limiting application areas to the approximate size of 1 bike tube/panel at a time. Relax and take your time, applying slowly and carefully for the best results.
6. Add additional coating to the applicator pad when the coating is not being applied evenly and or the applicator does not glide over the surface smoothly.
7. Allow the wet coating to cure for 5 minutes. During this time the coated surface will develop a rainbow-like appearance. In this time check that you have covered all areas. Using the provided microfibre cloth, lightly buff the surface using small circular motions to a high gloss, mirror-like finish. Be sure to check the surface in multiple light angles to ensure all the rainbow effect has been removed. Do not allow the wet coating to cure for longer than 5 minutes and ensure it has all been buffed off.
8. Once buffed off, let the coating fully cure for 24 hours in a cool dry place before exposing it to water or the elements. (For best results and adhesion, Muc-Off do not recommend washing for at least 48 hours after application).
9. You can easily layer up the coating with a second application for even longer durability, simply follow the costing application instructions above after the first layer has fully cured. You do not need to re-prep.
10. Use within 6 months once opened
11. Go ride

MAINTENANCE/CLEANING

1. In order to properly maintain your ceramic coating, Muc-Off would only recommend cleaning using their Nano Tech Bike Cleaner, Punk Powder, or Snow Foam. Avoid using other solvents or acidic cleaners as these will break down the coating much quicker.
2. Keeping the surface clean will ensure you retain the hydrophobic properties of the coating.
3. If you notice the surface starts to lose some of the hydrophobic water-beading properties over time you can simply top up and refresh the coating. Muc-Off recommend a top-up every 6 months to maintain optimal performance.
