Q: Is Reflex Pro a Ceramic Coating?
A: Yes. Coatings vary drastically, but this has a very high percentage (once cured) of SiO2 with carbon residues. This product contains, polysilazanes, solvents, and additives which are thermo-setting resins at room temperature. (ie do not require a UV light)
Q: How do I maintain Reflex Pro?
A: Maintenance is exactly the same as a non coated car, however, abrasives will remove the coating. In other words, perform a healthy wash (when needed) with AMMO Foam or favorite car soap, dry with Hydrate, and use Reflex Pro Top Coat as often as you feel is required. The more layers of protection (Skin, Reflex Pro Top Coat, Blush, etc...) the more protected the "base layer" of Reflex Pro will be.
Q: How long does Reflex Pro take to cure?
A: Depends on humidity and ambient temps, but 30 secs to 2 minutes is the average flash time before buffing off. One layer is advised for application and minimum curing time of 6 hours in a dry environment. Reflex Pro may take up to a week to fully set and will perform optimally after 1st wash.
Q: How do I prep the paint before applying Reflex Pro?
A: Wash the paint, remove the contaminants with clay (if necessary), compound and polishing (if necessary) is always the best option as the Reflex will have extra depth and shine over "leveled" paint. Light ISO wipes (spray on towel first) can be helpful if paint was recently waxed. You can layer Reflex Pro over "old" layers of Reflex Pro without removing the old layer.
Q: Can I use other paint care products (wax, sealant, spray wax) after Reflex Pro is applied?
A: Yes. However, the top layer (most upper surface) will give the paint its water characteristics. Hydrophobic or Hydrophilic. I prefer to layer AMMO SKIN over it every few months as its "jacket" or sacrificial layer. I also use Reflex Pro Top Coat after every wash.
Q: Is Reflex Pro safe on matte paint or vinyl wraps?
A: Yes. It will bring more depth or "richness" to the color but it will not be "shiny" afterwards. I highly recommend it on matte paint or vinyl as it is really the only type of protection for those areas without causing a deep shine (therefore defeating the matte finish).
