How to apply Detailer's Paint Coating
I recommend using the softest foam applicator pads you can obtain, you want a foam that is soft and gentle to the paint. It's a good idea to wear safety gloves anytime you're working with any car care chemicals as a safety precaution. Like my friend Renny Doyle says,
"If it's on your skin it's in you"
Here's Eric wearing black nitrile gloves, if you don't have any Autogeek stocks multiple sizes. Add some to your order to make sure you always have plenty on hand... no pun intended.
Technique Tip
Because dry foam does not glide over paint in a slippery manner, when first starting out, mist a spray of the Detailer's Paint Coating directly onto the face of the foam applicator pad, this instantly primes the pad and will make spreading the coating you spray onto the panel easier and safer to spread and work into the paint.
Mist 1-2 sprays per panel
Next mist 1-2 sprays of the paint coating onto the panel to be protected. Sprayer on the bottle does a really great job of atomizing the product just be sure pump the spray head firmly to force the liquid to properly atomize.
Carefully spread the product out over the panel
Use gentle overlapping circular motions to spread the product out over the panel to be treated and work the product into the paint till you see it disappear.
Wipe panel before moving on to the next panel
After treating a panel, carefully wipe any high points, which are really "excess product" off the surface. Give each panel a careful inspection as you're wiping and buff the panel to a high gloss, dry shine.
