How to Use Coating Agent?

After applying car coating, the paint surface exhibits enhanced oxidation resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature resistance, with a more uniformly distributed film layer. Below are the detailed steps for using car coating agent: 1. Before coating the car, wash it thoroughly to remove oil stains, dirt, asphalt, etc., then dry it with a car towel. 2. After drying the car, wait for half an hour to allow any remaining moisture to evaporate, ensuring the surface is completely dry. 3. Proceed with the coating. Spray the coating agent onto a sponge and apply it evenly on the car's paint surface, making sure not to miss any spots. 4. Place the car in a suitable location; avoid applying the coating agent under direct sunlight.

I've always enjoyed doing car maintenance myself, and using coating agents is not too complicated but quite interesting. First, you have to wash the car thoroughly—no ordinary water rinsing; you need a dedicated cleaner to remove all stains and oil films, or the coating won't adhere properly. Then, use a clean soft cloth or sponge to apply the coating agent in thin layers, starting with small sections. Don't try to cover the whole car at once, as this can lead to uneven application. After applying, wait patiently for it to dry and cure, which takes about 15 to 20 minutes. During this time, it's best to park the car in a garage to avoid dust and direct sunlight, which could cause unsightly streaks. Once dry, gently polish it with another cloth, being careful not to scratch the paint. I think the key is maintaining a moderate temperature—too cold or too hot affects the results. After application, the paint becomes much shinier, and the protection against dirt and UV rays lasts longer—about six months, which is far better than regular wax. I regularly check and reapply to avoid oxidation and corrosion in missed spots.

As a DIY enthusiast, I pay meticulous attention to every detail to ensure efficient use of the coating agent. The core lies in preparation: choose an overcast day or work indoors to avoid interference from sunlight and windblown dust. After thoroughly washing the car, wipe the body with a degreaser to ensure no oil residue remains—this is crucial for adhesion. When applying, I divide the car into small sections like the roof and hood, applying a thin, even layer. Avoid large-area application or excessive thickness, as it may cause peeling after drying. Wait for about 10-15 minutes without touching the surface. Then, polish in a spiral motion with a microfiber cloth until the desired gloss is achieved. A bonus tip is to wash hands and wear gloves beforehand to prevent fingerprint marks. I also regularly check the paint condition and use gentle washing methods to extend protection, reducing the need for frequent visits to detailing shops. This approach ensures long-lasting shine and scratch resistance, making it a worthwhile investment.

I've shared my experience with ceramic coating in the community, and it's quite simple: clean the car, apply a thin layer, wait for it to dry, and then polish. The key is not to work under direct sunlight or high temperatures, as it can lead to uneven application or residue. When I use it, I choose a cooler time of day, ensure the car is thoroughly clean, apply it evenly, and patiently wait without rushing. After polishing, the paint noticeably brightens, and the protection against dust and water stains is much better. A quick touch-up every month can maintain long-lasting protection, making it more convenient and time-saving than traditional wax. I recommend beginners start with a small test area to get familiar with the application before coating the entire car.
