Q: Is Reflex Pro II 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 temperture. (ie do not require a UV light)
Q: How do I maintain Reflex Pro II?
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 protetection (Skin, Reflex Pro Top Coat, Blush, etc...) the more protected the "base layer" of Reflex Pro II will be.
Q: How long does Reflex Pro II take to cure?
A: Depends on humidity and ambient temps, but 30 secs to 2 minutes is the average flash time. In a hot humid environment, buff off directly after application. Half a bottle is advised for one application and minimum curing time of 6 hours in a dry environment. Two coats can be applied with 30 minute cure time in between. Reflex Pro II may take up to a week to fully set, do not wash for 5 days.
Q: How do I prep the paint before applying Reflex Pro II?
A: Wash the paint, remove the contaminants with clay (if necessary), compound and polishing (if necessary) is always the best option as the Reflex II 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 II over "old" layers of Reflex Pro without removing the old layer. Apply out of direct sunlight and paint should be cool to the touch.
Q: Can I use other paint care products (wax, sealant, spray wax) after Reflex Pro II 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 II 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).
