FEYNLAB® MATTE CERAMIC COATING

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

FEYNLAB® MATTE CERAMIC is a protective ceramic nano coating engineered for extreme durability & protection for matte paint, vinyl, and PPF automotive surfaces. As an ultra-high solids coating, MATTE CERAMIC adds intense U.V. & heat protection, chemical resistance, and increased protection from the light ‘love marks’ of proper washing.
Typically, high solids coatings are difficult to install on matte surfaces. FEYNLAB engineered MATTE CERAMIC for both robust protection and hydrophobics. The end result is a coating that performs, lasts, and makes vehicle maintenance easy, fast and more enjoyable.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

FEYNLAB® MATTE CERAMIC is a thick, durable, and high-solids professional nano coating. Maximum protection with an efficient application was crucial to the development of FEYNLAB® MATTE CERAMIC in order to best protect the specialized needs of matte surfaces.

FEYNLAB® MATTE CERAMIC’s impressive heat, UV, and chemical resistance surpasses it’s competition in the market.

FEYNLAB®’s true nanotechnology and bonding chemistry allows for an unparalleled level of protection. The formula penetrates further into the existing paint structure, vinyl, and PPF than most other coatings.

INCLUDED
FEYNLAB® MATTE CERAMIC – 30 ml (sufficient to coat one mid-sized vehicle) & one microfiber applicator sponge

CAUTIONS
Always wear respirator & gloves during application. Ensure application area is free of loose contamination.

DIRECTIONS

Prior to application place vehicle in a well-lit, temperature-controlled 50°F-85°F (10°C-30°C), & contamination free environment. Make sure you have plenty new microfiber towels (4 or more), 1 or 2 microfiber sponge applicators, and plenty of lighting.

Begin shaking FEYNLAB® MATTE CERAMIC vigorously for 2 minutes. Open the cap and allow the product to breathe for 1 minute before shaking again for 1 minute. During application, shake frequently  as well  to avoid the matting agent from settling out of the solution.

Inspect the neck of the bottle for any hardened coating crystals.  Carefully clean the neck of the bottle with a microfiber towel if any appear, as these can drop on to your applicator pad, and scratch the surface during application.

PREPPING THE PAINT

Thoroughly clean the vehicle using FEYNLAB® WASH or FEYNLAB® RINSELESS. Follow with a topical decontamination clay treatment using FEYNLAB® PRIME. If necessary, use a ferrous iron removal product to remove all embedded iron deposits from vehicle paint pores that cannot be removed with a regular clay treatment.

Next, paint correct surfaces to the highest level desired by the client using a combination of FEYNLAB’s compounds and polishes. After polishing, remove all polish oils using FEYNLAB® PANEL PREP to ensure optimal bonding and durability of the coating.

COATING APPLICATION

Apply enough FEYNLAB® MATTE CERAMIC to a microfiber sponge applicator to fully cover a single  panel such as a door or half a hood.  Begin by making a “+” (plus)  sign in the middle of  the panel and follow that  with a picture frame around the area you are coating. This helps with even distribution of the product. Now fill in the remaining panel in straight lines from left to right and then cross-hatch up and down making sure  to create a level layer with even coverage.

After filling in the panel, step back and look for any runs, drips, or heavy spots (high spots).  If any are found, smooth out evenly with your applicator sponge. This will ensure even drying across the panel and minimize excess product usage.

Allow FEYNLAB® MATTE CERAMIC to sit on the panel until it is about 75-85% dry. This could be anywhere from 2-10 minutes depending on humidity and temperature. You can test this by lightly swiping the panel with your gloved finger and looking for moisture transfer to the adjacent uncoated panel. If the coating is not easily transferred to the uncoated panel, you are ready for the next step.

After you determine the optimal time for the coating to dry 75-85% on one panel, you can then determine how many panels of the vehicle you can coat at once before moving onto the leveling/wiping stage below on those panels. Take care not to apply to too many panels at once without proceeding to the leveling/wiping stage  as this will make the leveling/wiping stage more difficult as the coating will have dried too much.

COATING REMOVAL PROCESS

Once the panel(s) have dried about 75-85%, take a clean microfiber towel and begin leveling the product and removing the remaining 20-25% of the unevaporated carrier fluids. Begin this process in the same order of application on each panel.

Use two (2) new microfiber towels.
Towel A (left hand) will remove (level) the majority of the coating. With minimal pressure, gently wipe the surface to a clear finish. Minimal effort should be required.
Towel B (right hand acts as the secondary (Residue) towel, removing any leftover coating residue, revealing a clear surface.

INSPECT

Be sure to carefully inspect your finished panel before moving on to the rest of the car.  Check all of your edges, emblems, and other tight spaces for any remaining product. Much easier to remove if you catch it within 20 - 30 minutes.

REPEAT

Repeat the Coating and Leveling/Wiping steps, moving panel by panel (multiple panels if environmental conditions allow) until the entire car is coated. Be sure to briefly shake the bottle before use and quickly recap when not in use. Switch to clean towels when necessary and flip to a clean side of your applicator if the applicator begins to harden or picks up any surface contaminants.

LAYERING

Although one layer of FEYNLAB® MATTE CERAMIC is sufficient to achieve the expected durability, another coat can be applied to any area where you desire additional protection (such as the hood  or front bumper). After wiping one-layer clear, additional layers can be applied no less than 30 minutes after the previous layer and no longer than four hours after the previous layer.
