APPLY CERAMIC COATING TO BLOCK Wrap applicator cloth around foam applica- tor so that the elastic band wraps completely around the block, exposing the 3M logo on the backside of the block. Tilt the bottle and apply ~12-16 drops of 3M Ceramic Coating to the applicator cloth. How-To / Tutorial 3M CERAMIC COATING APPLICATION S TO R Y A N D I M AG E S C O U R T E SY 3 M C O M M E R C I A L S O L U T IO N S Important Note: Wear protective gloves and face/eye protection. Always apply 3M Ceramic Coating in a clean environment free of dirt and dust and away from wash bays, overspray, or other vehicles being paint corrected. 2. START APPLICATION Start with 3M Ceramic Coating on the vehicle's roof, working your way down the vehicle as you go. Limit application area to approximately 2' X 3' (60cm X 90cm) section. Apply 3M Ce- ramic Coating in a north/south and east/ west crosshatch pat- tern. Ensure no area is left uncoated. Limit application time to ap- proximately 1-2 min- utes per 2' X 3' (60cm X 90cm) section. Note: If applying to a matte wrap lm, the approximate application area is 1' X 1'. 3. COATING DWELL AND LEVELING Allow coating to dwell on the surface for 2-5 minutes. Level coating using a clean microber cloth. View panel at different angles and in different light- ing to ensure the coating has been properly leveled and a uniform appear- ance is achieved. Avoid leaving high spots or excess coating on the surface. Avoid applying pressure to the surface of the vehicle with the microber cloth; this could cause scratches to the surface. 4. REPEAT STEPS 1-3 OVER REST OF APPLICATION AREA Repeat steps 1-3 over the rest of the vehicle, applying ~8 drops of 3M Ceramic Coating to the applicator cloth at the start of each new section. Change applicator cloth after apply- ing 3M Ceramic Coating to half of an average-sized vehicle. Use a new, clean, microber cloth when leveling excess material. Re-using applicator cloths or microber leveling cloths could result in cured coating scratch- ing the paint surface. 5. WAIT PRIOR TO SECOND COATING After applying the rst coat of 3M Ce- ramic Coating, wait 30-60 minutes before proceeding to the second coat. 6. APPLY SECOND COATING Apply the second coat of 3M Ceramic Coating over the entire surface of the ve- hicle by following steps 1-4. 7. VEHICLE STORAGE PRIOR TO RELEASE Keep the vehicle out of contact with water for at least 4 hours.
