STEP 1: CLEANING THE APPLICATION AREA
Ensure that the application surface you want to repair has been cleaned thoroughly using our cleaning solution(Prep Solution).
Wrap the paper cloth around the rubber block found in the kit. Apply a few drops of Prep Solution to the paper cloth. Gently clean the application area with small strokes.
Make sure to only apply thePrep Solution to the application area as it can cause hazy spots on your paint finish, if applied to large areas.
Ensure all dirt, wax, and polish are removed, and the surface is ready for the touch-up paint.
STEP 2: APPLYING THE CUSTOM-MADE PAINT
Apply your custom-made paint on the repair area in a thin, even layer. If necessary, smear the paint flat across the chipped or scratched area with your finger or thumb while wearing the protective glove. Make sure the paint is smeared out flat. Then gently wipe the application area to remove excess paint within and around the application area.
When the paint is dry, apply a small amount of Prep Solution to the towel in the kit. Apply light pressure and run the paper towel across the surface to remove excess paint (You can also use a Q-tip for a more accurate result). Make sure not to press the towel too hard onto the surface; let the Prep Solution do the blending work.
Repeat the step until all the excess paint is removed around the chip/scratch.
Leave to dry for 5 min.
Make sure to only apply the Prep Solution to the application area, as it can cause hazy spots on your paint finish if applied to large areas.
Important Notice: (If you have a pearl colour please repeat the steps first apply step 2.1 and follow with step 2.2 )
Cosmetic Finishes : Waxing and polishing are a cosmetic finishings, it is not a requirement for the touch up applications, but will improve the over all results. If you are using our Basic Kit, you can use any polish or wax to complete steps 3 and 4.
STEP 3: APPLYING RUBBING COMPOUND
Rubbing Compound contains abrasives and additives.
It is a treatment for achieving a perfect colour transition.
Apply the Rubbing Compound on the sponge found in the kit and polish gently in circular motions. Ensure the sponge is dry.
STEP 4: APPLYING HAND GLAZE
Apply a small amount of the Hand Glaze to a clean microfiber cloth. Using a circular motion, apply the glaze to the entire panel, carefully spreading it in uniform consistency. With another dry, clean microfiber cloth, gently wipe clean.
APPLICATION TIPS:
Before the application, shake the paint bottle well to avoid paint blobs.
If you have repainted parts on your vehicle, please ensure that the paint is hardened/fixed enough before using the product. Generally, one month for curing time is okay to use touch-up paint on repainted parts.
Do not wash your vehicle with pressurized water for a minimum of 1 week after the touch-up application.
For perfect results on deep chip marks, we recommend repeating the application several times.
You can use the Rubbing Compound & Hand Glaze to boost the shine of the application area.
