After Care

Congratulations on your brand new System X® coating. We will guideline how to care for your new coating.

System X® is designed to protect your factory clear coat to provide a protective shield against the
elements, and to keep your vehicle looking new always. To maximize the effects of System X® and
to ensure your investment is long-lasting, a few basic maintenance steps should be taken. With simple care, your coating will reward you for years to come.

Quick Tips:

Wash on a bi-weekly basis
Avoid washing in direct sunlight if possible
Touchless car wash or hand wash only!
Always dry completely, never leave to air-dry
Use any pH neutral wash shampoo soap
Have the car inspected by the installer annually.

Curing Process

A new System X® coating will take about 2-3 days to
cure to its full strength. During that time, some
precautions should be taken. Curing time is 2-3 days depending on environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature. Take special care during this time period. The coating will help prevent your clear coat from getting water spots as it is hydrophobic,
however, it can still get hard water spots. Be especially diligent during the curing process to
prevent water spots, which may be costly to remove.
During the curing process avoid:

Parking under trees especially if there are shedding. You don’t want tree sap on a fresh
coating.
Allowing bird droppings, sap or pollen to sit on the car and bake in the sun.
Washing or abrading the paint.

If you notice that your car gets water spots, bird droppings, bugs, tree sap, or other contaminants during the first few days, immediately remove it
following our care instructions. Keep in mind the coating is still curing. Be gentle when working on the paint.

WASHING

Wash on a bi-weekly basis to avoid excessive contamination build up.
Touch-less car washes only. Never use a car wash with brushes! Never select the “spray wax” option.
Select the high-pressure soap. Soap the car down (never use the provided brushes especially on the paint!). Rinse car off with the high-pressure rinse. Dry with clean microfiber towels.
Avoid washing in direct sunlight to minimize streaking and water spotting.
Wash from the top down leaving the dirtiest sections for last to avoid cross contamination.
Use the “two bucket” method – one bucket for rinsing your sponge/mitt and one for soapy water.
Use separate soap and sponge/mitt for wheels.

DRYING

Always dry completely and never leave to air-dry. Tap water contains minerals that may leave deposits creating water spots.
Use quality microfiber towels for best results and avoid aggressive wiping, allowing the material to absorb the water.

Removing Contaminants

System X® is extremely slick, this means most things will dissolve and be pulled off by System X’s
self-cleaning effect. Use water or a little vinegar to remove bird droppings, bugs, and tree sap. Followed by wiping it off with a soft edge-less microfiber towel.

Spot Removal

Never use aggressive products to polish the coating or remove surface contamination.
Never use excessive force to remove spots.
Bird droppings, tar, sap, etc. should be removed as soon as possible to avoid temporary staining or hardening on the coating. Any staining left behind from bird droppings will break down over a few days without affecting the coating.

Annual Inspections

Annual inspections should be carried out by an approved applicator within 30 days before the anniversary date of the last service to ensure peak performance and warranty validity. Although durable and long-lasting, annual inspections ensure maximum gloss and protection from System X® coatings.
