Your System X® coating takes 2-3 days to fully cure depending on humidity and temperature. During this time, take extra precautions to avoid damage.

🚫 Avoid During the Curing Process:

❌ Parking under trees that shed sap or debris
❌ Allowing bird droppings, sap, or pollen to bake in the sun
❌ Washing or scrubbing the paint

🔹 If you notice water spots, bird droppings, bugs, or sap, gently remove them immediately following our care instructions.
🔹 The coating is hydrophobic, but hard water spots can still form—be extra cautious during this period.

Regular washing is key to keeping your coating performing at its best. Follow these best practices:

✅ Recommended Washing Routine:

✔️ Wash your vehicle bi-weekly to prevent contamination buildup
✔️ Use only mild pH-balanced soaps
✔️ Avoid high-volume brush car washes or harsh detergents
✔️ Wash in the shade to prevent streaking & water spots
✔️ Wash from top to bottom—dirtiest areas last
✔️ Use the two-bucket method (one for clean soapy water, one for rinsing)
✔️ Use separate mitts/sponges for paint and wheels

🚿 Washing Methods:

🛠️ Home Washing:
✅ Foam gun or microfiber wash mitt for soaping
✅ Rinse with pressure washer (optimal) or hose
✅ Dry with clean microfiber towels

🏪 Spray ‘N Wash Self-Serve Stations:
✅ Use high-pressure soap (never the provided brushes!)
✅ Rinse with high-pressure rinse
✅ Dry with clean microfiber towels

🚘 Car Washes:
✅ Touch-less car washes only (Never use brushes! No spray wax!)

🔹 Always dry completely—never air dry! Tap water contains minerals that may leave deposits.
🔹 Use high-quality microfiber towels for best results.
🔹 Avoid aggressive wiping—gently pat dry to absorb water.

To maintain maximum gloss & protection, we recommend annual inspections by an approved applicator.

🔹 Annual inspections must be done within 30 days before the anniversary date to keep your warranty valid.
🔹 These inspections ensure your coating is performing at its peak and detect any necessary maintenance.
