FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What Is RE-KOTE?
RE-KOTE is a high gloss, self-leveling coating that is easily hand-applied to your
vehicle. It brings back the original shine to thinning clear coat, fading trim, and foggy
headlights. It adds a long-lasting layer of depth to protect your paint, along with rust
inhibitors and UV protection.
Do I Need to Clean My Vehicle Before Applying?
Cleaning/Prep is key. Wash the area you're going to be applying the product on with water
and/or detailing spray. For best results, wipe the area with Wax and Grease Remover. Clay
Bar for additional prep. Make sure the area is dry before application.
Can the Coating Get Wet? What If It Rains?
t's important to not let the area get wet for 24 hours after application. If you know that it's
going to be raining in the next 24 hours, we recommend applying on your vehicle in a well-
ventilated garage or indoor area. You are able to hand wash the vehicle 48 hours after
application.
How Long Do I Need to Let the Application Cure?
The application needs 24 hours to fully cure. Do Not let the area get wet or put anything on
the area for at least 24 hours after application. Once the application is cured, you will have along-lasting coating. Note that the more product you put on, the longer it will take to cure.
Is This Meant For Base Coat?
RE-KOTE is meant for clear coat, not base coat.
How Long Will the Coating Last?
The longevity of the product depends on many different factors (wear and tear, environment
and how the car is taken care of and washed). You are able to put this product on
considerably thick to achieve a depth of coating that will last very long if taken care of.
Can I Wash My Vehicle After Application?
You are able to hand wash the vehicle 48 hours after application. We recommend you DONOT take the vehicle through an automatic car wash after application. Auto washes are
already known to scratch regular clear coat, so they can do the same with this coating on.
How Many Vehicles Can Be Done With 1 Bottle?
We estimate approximately 100 ML of RE-KOTE for an average-sized vehicle.
What If I Miss a Spot
If you miss a spot in the first 2-3 minutes, take a full, gentle line back through that area. Ensure that you don't miss any spots, but don't go over a spot that you've done more than needed. You will have a 2-3 minute window to work with. DO NOT go back over an area after that time period.
How Do I Remove SCS?
If there is a significant mistake made in the application of your coating and you need to remove it - stripping the coating is much easier within 15 minutes of initial application. If you need to remove the application in that 15 minute window, we recommend scrubbing the coating with Wax and Grease Remover. Then you can return to Step 2 to re-apply Shiny Car Stuff.
What Do I Do If I Mess Up the Application?
If there is a significant mistake made in the application of your coating and you need to remove it - stripping the coating is much easier within 15 minutes of initial application. If you need to remove the application in that 15 minute window, we recommend scrubbing the coating with Wax and Grease Remover. If you need to remove the coating after it has already cured, you will need to wet sand/heavy cut with a rotary/elbow grease with a heavy solvent. This is a long-lasting coating.
How Much Product Should I Use?
Be sure to put enough product on your towel to keep a wet edge throughout your entire panel. We recommend keeping the bottle handy - if your towel starts to get dry during application, apply a bit more to keep the towel wet.
Is This Like a Ceramic Coating? Can I Add a Ceramic Coating Over It?
Ceramic coatings are generally used to make newer cars easier to clean/prevent dirt from sticking. RE-KOTE is used to add depth and enhance blemishes on older, fading clear coat. You can ceramic coat over a RE-KOTE coating after allowing 48 hours to cure.
How Hard Should I Press Down When Applying?
Use light pressure with a flat hand, gliding edge to edge. Keep a wet edge on your towel when applying.
Can This Be Used on Chipping or Peeling Clear Coat?
RE-KOTE can enhance the appearance and protection of chipping/peeling clear coat. We recommend getting the area wet before purchasing and seeing if you like the look - the result of RE-KOTE will look similar to a wet panel but with more gloss and depth.
