Gloss ismeasurable.

We publish the contact angle, the gloss-unit gain, and the cure schedule for every product, because "showroom shine" is not a specification.

The system

Four products.
No filler SKUs.

Most brands sell you fourteen bottles that overlap. This is the shortest line that actually does the job, front to back.

01 · PREP

Strip Wash

High-alkaline pre-wash that removes old sealant and wax so the coating bonds to paint, not to leftovers.

Dilution 1:20Coverage 12 vehicles
$28
02 · CORRECT

Cut Compound

One-step correction that finishes down without a polish pass. Removes 1200-grit sanding marks in two passes.

Gloss gain +18 GUCoverage 9 vehicles
$44
03 · COAT

Seal 9H

The coating itself. SiO2 base, 90% solids, wipes off in a four-minute flash window at 70°F.

Contact angle 112°Coverage 2 vehicles
$89
04 · MAINTAIN

Top Spritz

Silica detail spray that tops the coating after each wash and keeps the contact angle where it started.

Application

Three stages.
One afternoon.

01

Strip

Wash with Strip Wash at 1:20, clay if the paint still feels rough, then dry fully. Everything downstream depends on this being done properly.

02

Correct

Cut Compound on a medium foam pad, two slow passes per panel. Wipe with a 50/50 alcohol mix so you are coating paint, not polish oils.

03

Coat

Seal 9H in 18-inch squares, cross-hatch, wait for the flash, level with a clean towel. Keep it dry for 24 hours and out of rain for 48.

Complete system

Buy the four.
Skip the guessing.

Every stage, correctly sized so you do not run out of coating halfway across a hood. Includes pads, towels, and the applicator block.

Questions

Before you coat.

Do I need to correct the paint first?
If there are swirls, yes — a coating locks in whatever is underneath it, including the defects. On a brand-new car or paint that is already correct, you can go straight from Strip Wash to Seal 9H. On anything with a few years on it, budget the correction step.
Is 9H pencil hardness the same as scratch-proof?
No, and anyone implying otherwise is selling you something. 9H describes resistance to a pencil-hardness test on a flat film. It means the coating resists marring from washing far better than wax. It does not stop rock chips or a key.
What is the working temperature range?
Between 55°F and 85°F, out of direct sun. Above that the flash window collapses and you will fight high spots; below it the coating will not level. Texas summers mean an early morning or a garage with a fan.
How is the 36-month durability measured?
Panels coated and left outdoors, contact angle measured quarterly, durability called when it drops below 90°. That is our own testing, not a lab certification — we would rather tell you the method than quote a number with nothing behind it.
Do you sell to professional detailers?
Yes, from ten units. Pro pricing is roughly 30% below retail and includes bulk sizes not listed on this page. Use the form below and mention your shop.
