General Tips & Safety

Here are some basics to keep in mind when applying Graphene Coating;

• For optimal application conditions, ensure the area is well-ventilated. Avoid outdoor application under direct sunlight or in strong winds. The surface of the vehicle should be cool to the touch.
• During application, periodically add a few drops to the applicator to maintain its dampness and smooth movement.
• Drying times provided should be treated as guidelines rather than exact durations; warm or humid conditions may accelerate drying.
• Replace any cloths or towels that become hardened with coating residue.
• For safety, it is advised to wear a protective mask and gloves while applying the coating.

What to Avoid During Motor Headz Graphene Coating Application

• Over-Application: Apply the coating sparingly. Excessive use may lead to streaking and improper curing.
• Skipping Prep Steps: Always complete all preparation steps, such as cleaning and clay barring, to ensure optimal adhesion.
• Rushing Curing: Allow the coating to fully bond by not using the vehicle for 48 hours. For optimal results, avoid exposing it to water or harsh elements for a full 7 days.
• Surface Contact: Do not touch the treated area until fully cured to avoid smudges or unevenness.
• Harsh Chemicals: Post-application, refrain from using strong chemicals or abrasive tools that could compromise the coating’s integrity.

Graphene Coating Application

To start, open your Motor Headz Graphene Coating kit and carefully wrap the sponge with the provided cloth. It’s essential to always cover the sponge with the cloth before beginning the application process. This prepares you and your tools for a successful coating experience.

1. Ensure a Thoroughly Clean Vehicle

Begin by washing your vehicle thoroughly with a pH-neutral car shampoo to remove all surface contaminants. A clean surface is critical for the ceramic coating to properly adhere, which enhances its effectiveness and durability. Allow the vehicle to completely dry after washing. Optimal application temperatures range from 15 to 30 degrees Celsius. Additionally, address any significant scratches or swirl marks on your vehicle before initiating the coating process. This preparation sets the stage for a successful application.

Applying Motor Headz Graphene Coating

Check the weather before beginning your application, especially if you’re outside. Ensure there is no rain or high humidity forecasted as these conditions can negatively affect the curing process of the coating.

Step-by-Step Application Guide:

1. Wrap a microsuede cloth around the applicator block and apply 5 or 6 drops of Graphene Coating to it.
2. Start by spreading a thin, even layer across the vehicle’s surface using horizontal strokes, then cross over with vertical strokes to ensure complete and uniform coverage. Reapply more drops to the cloth as it begins to dry.
3. After applying, wait 30 to 40 seconds before gently buffing off any excess with a clean microfiber cloth or towel. Apply light pressure to remove all residues and avoid leaving any streaks.

Continue this process methodically, section by section, until you’ve covered the entire vehicle, ensuring consistent application throughout.

Important Application Guidelines

• Temperature Considerations: Ensure the application temperature does not exceed 30 degrees Celsius. If it’s warmer, apply the coating after 6 PM to avoid excessive heat.
• Applicator Preparation: Initially saturate the applicator pad with 10-15 drops of ceramic coating to ensure it is thoroughly wet during use.
• Excess Removal: Use a microfiber cloth to wipe away any excess coating. Ensure the surface is free from oily or hazy marks to prevent permanent blemishes. If marks persist post-wipe, they may require a rubbing compound to remove after curing.
• Application Setting: Avoid applying the coating under direct sunlight or in dusty environments. Keep the surface dust-free for the first 48 hours after application. In dusty settings, cover the vehicle loosely, ensuring the cover doesn’t touch the coated surface.
• Curing Time: Do not test the water-repelling properties immediately. Allow the coating to bond with the surface undisturbed for 7 days before exposure to water.

Motor Headz Graphene Coating Aftercare & Maintenance

Maintaining a ceramic-coated vehicle is straightforward, as it doesn’t require frequent claying, polishing, or waxing. However, the coating can degrade over time without proper care. Here’s how to keep your vehicle in top condition:

• Regular Washing: Clean your vehicle weekly to prevent the build-up of contaminants.
• Avoid Sunlight During Washes: Wash in the shade to reduce streaks and water spots.
• Efficient Cleaning Order: Wash from the top down, saving the dirtiest areas for last to prevent spreading dirt.
• Dual-Bucket Washing: Use one bucket for rinse water and another for soapy water to keep your cleaning tools clean.
• Separate Tools for Wheels: Use a different soap and cleaning tool for your vehicle’s wheels to avoid transferring brake dust and debris.
