Applying ceramic coating on your Car/ Motorcycle on your own, the process is indeed quite simple. With the help of new Super ceramic coating DIY kits available to consumers, the application process is straightforward. Before applying nano-coating, you have to make the car/ Motorcycle surface free from mud, dirt, and stains, which applies to all brand-new vehicles. We recommend you do paint correction if necessary. In other words, the paint needs to be free from small scratches and swirl marks before applying the coating. After washing, let it dry. The paint surface must be dry while applying the coating. The ideal super ceramic coating condition is 15-30 degrees Celsius. The ceramic coating will add a sacrificial hydrophobic layer above your paint surface.

PRECAUTIONS:
- Do not apply in direct sun or on hot surfaces.
- Do not re-use 4″ Suede applicators.
- Do not reuse the towels you used to buff off with paint.

STEP 1: MAKE SURE YOUR CAR IS COMPLETELY CLEAN
Wash your car thoroughly and let it dry. It is very important to clean your vehicle surface from all types of contaminations before applying the ceramic coating. Proper cleaning of your vehicle is a must.
Feel free to use your favourite car shampoo. After washing, let it dry. The vehicle surface must be dry when applying the coating. The ideal conditions to apply the coating is 15- 30 degrees Celsius.
STEP 2: Unbox the super ceramic coating kit and wrap the provided cloth over the sponge.
STEP 3. Pour some drop of Super ceramic coating liquid on the applicator and apply by vertical and horizontal by wiping on approx 1.5 to 2 sq feet area.
Don’t apply on a broad or too big area. Divide your surface into small little parts and spread across the paint in a criss-cross pattern approximately 50 cm x 50 cm at a time. Now, wait for about 1 to 2 minutes, depending on the temperature condition. If the temperature is high, you need to wipe it off faster; otherwise, give it 2 minutes to bond with the paint surface.
STEP 4: Now buff the applied part with a microfiber cloth.
Buff softly, Don’t put pressure to remove the coating. Just takes a little effort to remove those hazy or oily marks. Be sure to remove all excess residue, and only then do you move to the next section. You need to make sure that no oily, hazy marks remain on the surface.
Now apply the second part with the same process. So you must repeat this process on the whole car step by step.
Switch out the cloth sides every 2+/- panel.Additional coats may be applied with 60 minutes or wait until the following day if you are beyond 60 minutes. Super ceramic coating recommends 2 coats. Max Layer - 3 coats.
You have to finish the coating of the entire vehicle once you start the job. And make sure to change the applicator towel side and microfiber towel from time to time or layer by layer. Add two layers of super ceramic coating for it to last longer. Do not use your vehicle for the next 48 hours, and don’t wash it for the next 7 days. Enjoy your vehicle’s new look! If you are not yet purchased the ceramic coating, buy it from the official website below.

Important Notes
- The temperature should not exceed 30 degrees celsius while applying. If your place temperature is above 30 Degrees Celcius, consider applying the coating after 5 PM. So the coating gets a curing time of at least 12 hours at lower temperatures.
- Make sure the applicator is wet with the ceramic coating when the time of applying. First, pour 10-15 drops into the applicator to make it wet.
- Wipe the excess liquid and marks with microfiber cloths. There shouldn’t be any oily, hazy marks after wiping. If any marks are left on the paint surface after wiping, they will be there after curing. Then you have to use a rubbing compound to remove these marks.
- Do not apply the coating in direct sunlight and in dusty areas. Ensure the ceramic-coated surface is free from dust for the first 48 hours. If you are living in an area with a lot of dust, cover the vehicle with something. Make sure that it will not get in contact with the ceramic-coated surface.
- Please be careful while applying on Motorcycle fibre body, plastic parts and on leather.
- Don’t test the water-repelling effect just after applying the coating. You have to wait 48 hours to coat the bond with the surface.
- Do not use your vehicle for the next 48 hours, and don’t wash it for the next 7 days.
- Can you apply wax over the ceramic coating?
There’s no need to use wax after you apply the ceramic coating on your car. The ceramic coating has all the benefits of wax and a lot extra. - Do you have to reapply after each car wash?
No. Our product is not wax. It can last for 2-5 years. So just the one coating is fine. - Can I still drive my Car/ Motorcycle while it’s drying?
No, if dirt or other contaminants will stick to the ceramic coating if you drive the car or Motorcycle within 24 hours. Removing these contaminants without rubbing or sanding using a detailer is very hard. You can drive the vehicle after 24 hours! However, it might result in slightly less complete coverage due to perhaps rain washing it off before it dries, etc. We recommend allowing to dry for at least 48 hours without interruption.
How do I maintain and care for my car after it’s coated with Super Ceramic Coating?
Coated vehicles are much easier to maintain, especially since you will not need to frequently clay, polish, or wax the paint in order to keep it protected from the elements. However, it is important to note that no ceramic coating is bulletproof, and the finish will begin to degrade if neglected or improperly cared for. We recommend to;
- Wash on a bi-weekly basis to avoid excessive contamination build-up.
- Avoid washing in direct sunlight to minimize streaking and water spotting.
- Wash from the top down, leaving the dirtiest sections for last to avoid cross-contamination.
- Use the “two buckets” method – one bucket for rinsing your sponge/mitt and one for soapy water.
- Use separate soap and sponge/mitt for wheels.

Superceramic coating or fiber and plastic coating? Are these both products really waterproof? And how long fiber and plastic coating lasts?
Super Ceramic Coating is for painted surface only. While, Fiber coating should apply on areas where it is made up of plastic, fiber, and leather. The glass coating is for the windows and the windshield of a car. However, for bikes that have few fiber parts, feel free to apply super ceramic coating to these parts. You don’t have to purchase fiber coating for small fiber parts. So we recommend you to purchase Super Ceramic Coating for your R15 V3. The coating lasts around 1-2 Years.

Hi team!
I wanted to know if I can diesel wash my bike after applying the ceramic coating?
Can I do pressure washing?
Thank you

Once in a month is fine with the most cases. You can read more about ceramic coating maintenance tips here.

Coz you have mentioned that do not wash vehicle for 7 days soo can I wash my vehicle or I have to use the dirty vehicle for 7 days then I can wash my vehicle
