Instruction
• Thoroughly decontaminate paint of all tar, bugs, dirt, tree sap, waterspots, fingerprints or any other contaminants on the surface.
• Clean the surface with Ceramic Pro cleaner or body shop authorized wax and grease remover. Cleaner must be a solvent based and not strictly Isopropyl Alcohol. Straight alcohol will NOT thoroughly remove oil and polish residues. This can compromise the durability of the coating. Always use clean towels when doing this step.
• Apply our primer Nano Polish to the surface. Apply a few drops on a soft foam pad and go over the surface until all the primer is gone. Set the buffer on medium to low speed. Wipe off any residue.
• Wrap the applicator sponge with the white micro-suede cloth that comes with the bottle in the 9H box or use applicator of your preference. Microfiber applicators can also be used as a substitute.
• When first applying our product 9H on the substrate, it is recommended to condition the surface of the applicator with 7-8 drops to prevent skipping or dry spots.
• Apply 9H using normal pressure on the applicator. Make sure the area is well covered. Always start from an edge to avoid excess on other panels. Work in controlled areas to remember where you previously applied. Work in horizontal and vertical movements or circular motions to ensure that product is carried through consistently.
• Wait approximately 1 minute before leveling the product.
• If you start leveling too early, 9H will be absorbed solely in the towel. On the other hand, if wiping too late, 9H will become tacky and too hard to even out.
• Follow with a second towel. You must use a brand new towel for this step. Gently go over the surface using a polishing motion, until the surface is free from residue.
• Finish with a third new towel (this is called the insurance towel) and go over the surface one extra time just to make sure you haven’t missed any streaks or excess residue.
• Wait approximately 40-60 minutes before applying the second layer. Waiting times depend on temperature and humidity. Waiting too long can result in the surface being too hydrophobic for bonding of the second layer. Applying too early and the product will dissolve the previous layer.
• Repeat the steps for each additional layer. You will notice as you apply more layers, the surface will absorb less 9h.
• After the desired amount of 9h layers have been applied, allow curing of the coating to begin. Curing can be accelerated using IR or Heat Lamps. Follow lamp manufacturer's recommended settings.
• Keep coating away from all polish and compound dust during the curing process. This can be prevented by segregating your bays or by simply covering with a lightweight drapery.
• If working in extremely warm conditions it is recommended to apply smaller areas to start. The size of the application can be determined and customized by watching the product's flash time on the paint. If you notice that it flashes rapidly, reduce the size of the application area. It is best to start with a fender to see how much product work time is available.
• Before the application of Ceramic Pro Top Coat, the final layer of Ceramic Pro 9H should have cured for 8-12 hours at room temperature.

INTRODUCTION
• Look for oxidation (oxidation can be recognized as “haze or chalkiness” on thegelcoat).
• Look for UV damage (this can be identified by looking closely at the gel coat for opened or swollen pores).
• Identify scratches and determine what steps will need to be taken to prepare the surface to accept the coating.
Washing:
• Start with a pre-rinse to loosen all dirt and debris. (The more you can rinse during this process the easier the vessel will be to wash).
• Fill a bucket or spray bottle with a high suds soap and 20% vinegar and begin washing with a brush from the highest point on the vessel. (The acid from the vinegar will help remove any surface dirt and oxidation. Vinegar is safe on all surfaces),
Towels/Drying:
• Use any towel to dry (Start with all stainless and glass first)
• Dry from top to bottom
Taping:
• Taping avoids any damage or cross-contamination between polishes and surfaces
• Tape all decals
• Tape rub rail
• Tape teak
• Adjusting your spray guns fan to its widest setting is suggested when applying to larger surfaces. Typically the knob that is highest on the gun or closest to the cup controls your fan. Turn this knob completely to the right to open it to its widest pattern.
• Adjusting your product flow is critical to achieve proper coverage. This knob is typically located just below the fan knob. After the fan is adjusted where you want it to be you can begin tuning your product flow. We are looking to achieve a fine and consistent flow. A very light mist describes it best. Start with a quarter turn until you achieve desired flow.
• Hold your trigger down and adjust your digital regulator between 6.5 psi and 8 psi to achieve desired spray pattern.
Applying Ceramic Pro to Gelcoat
• When making a pass make sure to keep the gun in the same forward facing direction at all times to ensure even coverage.
• Your working space should be no wider than shoulder length apart. Move in a fluid motion ensuring you overlap each successive pass.
Leveling Ceramic Pro Marine/Bravo for Exterior
• Flash times are generally about 30-45 seconds for Ceramic Pro Marine and 45-60 seconds for 9H.
• Once Ceramic Pro has flashed begin wiping with a clean non-contaminated towel. Wiping quickly with horizontal strokes is best for the first wiping pass. Follow with a new towel and begin to buff in circular motions.
• Time management is important when coating larger vessels. Some boats will not be able to be completed in one day. It is crucial to complete the entire coating process on one section before moving to the next section. For example: a 60ft Sedan Bridge will need to be broken up into sections. Complete the hull in its entirety (2 marine 1 Bravo) prior to coating the decks, topside, and bridge.
• Layering the coating is best done on the same day.
Applying Ceramic Pro Marine to interior surfaces
• Apply Ceramic Pro Marine using a spray gun or an applicator pad.
• When using a spray gun no leveling is necessary (use minimal product flow on spray gun).
• When using an applicator pad it is important to ensure even coverage across all surfaces, use a microfiber towel to remove any excess.

BRUSH:
Clean surface from dirt, dustand grease. Make sure applying area is clean and dry, it’s necessary for coating adhesion. Poursmall amount of Strong solution through 300μm filter in a chemical resistant plastic or glass container. Solution can polymerize near bottle cap, and it should be filtered from it. Dip a synthetic brush in solution and remove excess amount. (Attention: only SYNTHETIC brush should be used, brush with animal hair will spoil result by leaving hair in the coating). Apply even layer on clear and dry surface by smooth strokes, with no force applied, don’t leave uncovered zones. LEAVE IT AFTER APPLICATION, DO NOT WIPE COATING. Solution heterogeneity will be smoothed by surface tension after desiccation. Surface will dry after 24 Hours. Full polymerization will take 3-5 days.
PREPARATION
SURFACES
Glass
Wood
Leather
Metal
synthetic, painted and powder coated surfaces
Preparation:
1. Prior to application of Ceramic Pro Care, clean the surface properly.
2. To avoid instant curing of the coating, make sure the surface is not hot.
3. The product can be applied both on dry and wet surfaces.
Application:
2. Immediately buff the coating with a clean high-quality microfiber towel, using wave motion until the surface is completely dry.
3. Use a new clean microfiber towel to remove any residues.
4. Allow the coating cure for at least 8 hours.
The vehicle can be used immediately but allow 8 hours of curing for optimal result.
