- When smooth, wipe the area a few times in one direction using the Wax & Grease Remover wipe.

- Apply up to three coats, allowing about 15 minutes of drying time between each.
- After the final coat, wait 30 minutes to ensure it’s fully dry.

- Apply the first coat of Clearcoat.
- Let it dry for 10–15 minutes.
- Apply two additional coats, allowing each to dry between applications.
- Let the final coat cure for 24–48 hours before washing or polishing.

5. Polishing
- Wait at least 24 hours after painting before polishing.
- Apply a small amount of Polishing Compound to a microfiber cloth.

- Stop once you achieve the desired finish.
