Prep:
The Prep is the most important step of the process, Armour Quartz Coating is great but it can not do the prep work for you!
1. Decontaminate the paint surface using Armour Detail Supply Decon Soap and Iron Remover, followed by removing further embedded contamination with a clay bar or clay mitt.
2. If swirl marks, or scratches are present, polish the paint to reduce any surface defects and create maximum gloss.
3. Use Armour Detail Supply Panel Prep to remove any oils/residue left from your polishing step. If you did not polish the surface, repeat this step twice to ensure a clean surface.
You are ready to apply Armour Quartz Coating!
Application:
1. After thorough prep prime the applicator with 3 lines start and each subsequent application will only need a small amount, a little goes a long way.
2. Apply Armour Coating 1-2 panels at a time. Initially create an "X" pattern on the panel, then box in all edges to allow for even distribution of the coating. Follow through the panel using small overlapping circles (like a wax) making sure to have even, level coverage. Allow the product to "set up" for 1-5 minutes depending on temperature/humidity (generally 2-3 minutes). Look for uniform small sweat beads to appear before removing.
3. In a small circular motion level coating 95%+ on 1st wipe (short nap, pearl weave), the first wipe will have a slight grab to it, but the product should be picked up easily. If the coating begins to smear, it needs additional time to setup. If the product is very hard to remove, it needs less time before removal. Switch to 2nd towel (plush) for final levelling. Check for any streaks, or high spots which can appear as cloudy or dark spots. Repeat this process per panel.
4. Halfway through the vehicle or as the applicator starts to harden, flip the applicator over to a fresh side.
5. Use a fresh side of the towel every other panel.
Armour Quartz Coating was designed as a single layer coating, however, it can be layered. If you wish to apply multiple layers allow 1-2 hours between layers.
Applying in colder conditions will lengthen time frame before wipe-off (closer to 3-5 minutes).
Applying in hotter conditions will give you a shorter time frame before you wipe-off (closer to 1-2 minutes).
After Care:
Allow product to sit 12 hours at minimum for initial cure. After 4 hours you can apply Armour Detail Supply AMPLIFY or Ceramic Spray Sealant to protect the coating during its initial cure. After 12 hours the vehicle can be driven and get wet. Do not wash or induce to chemicals for 7 days.
Shelf Life:12 months, use within 30 days of opening for best application experience.
