Ceramic Coating

How To Use

1. Hand Car Wash - Wash your vehicle's surface using the two bucket car wash method. This involves using one wash bucket with soap, and one wash bucket that is filled with fresh and clean water. We recommend using Projes 3.5 Gallon Buckets & Grit Guards, Proje’s Vital Car Wash Soap and Green Wash Mitt

2. Decontaminate your vehicle's surface - Once the car is washed no need to worry about drying the vehicle as this step does not require a fully dried car. Once the vehicle is fully rinsed we can begin decontaminating the vehicle using Proje’s Decon Spray. This will remove iron deposits and layers that are trapped in your vehicle's clear coat and paint pores. You know the decontamination spray is working when you see the advanced color changing to purple. This normally takes up to 5 minutes. After the time has passed, rinse off your vehicle's surface. We highly recommend using gloves, eye protection, and a mask when using the Decon Spray.

3. Clay and Lube - Now we are at the clay and lube stage we recommend using Projes Throwback Clay Lube along with Clay Bar or Clay Mitt. Prep the clay bar by kneading it. The warmth of your hands will soften the clay as you knead the clay into a ball. Once softened, form into a ball flatten into a circular disc and have the clay lube ready to spray. Working in a 2ftx2ft section generously spray the vehicle surface and lightly spray the clay. Gently slide the clay back and forth over the lubricated area. Don't forget to constantly view the clay surface is clean, if full of contaminants knead clay over to a clean section. Then lightly spray lubricant and continue claiming your car. 

4. Paint Correction - Now is time for the paint correction or polishing the paint on your vehicle this will remove the swirl marks and other imperfections on the clear coat and paint. 

We recommend using a two stage correction process: 

a) First Use Proje’s Leveling Polish and Medium Cut Pad with a DA machine. This will remove moderate defects like swirl marks, water spots, and oxidation

b) Next is the second and final step: Use Proje’s Revive Final Polish and Finishing Pad with a DA machine. This will provide a deep shine finish providing depth and clarity to your car's paint. 

5. Remove Leftover Waxes, Oils, and other Residue -  Once you have successfully washed, decontaminated, clayed, and polished your vehicle you are ready for the final step of the prepping process for Proje's 9H ceramic coating. This is where we begin the panel wipe stage using Proje's top of the line panel degreaser Proje’s Prep Spray. This powerful degreaser will remove leftover waxes, oils, polishes, and other residue left behind during the first 4 steps. Simply Spray the selected panel and begin to clean with a Proje Microfiber Cloth. 

6. Apply To Applicator and Car - Now that the car has been prepped and polished begin to apply the 12-month ceramic coating to the sponge ensuring one side is saturated with solution. Apply the coating in one direction overlapping each wipe by 50% to ensure all sections are coated. Wait up to 120 seconds for the coating to have a rainbow effect/sweating on your car's surface. This is called flashing, which means the ceramic coating is bonding to your vehicle's surface. Once 120 seconds has finished begin wiping or buffing away the excess chemical using Proje’s Polishing Towel (Available in white & black). Polish the coated section for 1 - 2 minutes, ensuring excess pressure is NOT used to remove too much of the ceramic finish. 

7. Repeat step 6 if multiple layers are desired

8. Wait to Cure - Once all sections of the car are coated and buffed allow up to 20 hours for the surface layer of the ceramic coating cure and up to 24 hours before cleaning the exterior of your vehicle as the coating is still not fully cured (dependant on the temperature and the humidity), otherwise, the finish may be damaged, especially if a drive through car wash is used.
