Step-by-Step Guide

01

Wash and decontaminate

Ensure the vehicle is freshly washed and decontaminated. Clay bar if necessary.

02

Polish

Apply Super Resin Polish to remove light swirls and enhance gloss. Work panel by panel.

03

Wipe down

Remove all polish residue with a clean microfibre cloth. Ensure surface is residue-free.

04

Apply wax

Apply High Definition Wax in thin, even coats using an applicator pad. Work panel by panel.

05

Allow to cure

Allow the wax to haze for 5–10 minutes depending on temperature.

06

Buff off

Buff off the wax with a clean, soft microfibre cloth using light pressure.

Pro Tips

Never apply wax or sealant to a warm panel — the product will cure too quickly and become difficult to remove.

Use a dual-action polisher for machine polishing — rotary polishers require more skill and can burn through paint if used incorrectly.

Apply wax in thin layers — a thin, even coat outperforms a thick, uneven one every time.
