Scorpion CMX Protect

If there are imperfections in the surface(s) that you cannot fix/ remove/ polish out, be sure to identify them to the customer, BEFORE, applying the ceramic coating to the surface of the vehicle. null

IMPORTANT

DO NOT APPLY COATINGS OVER SCRATCHES or other paint defects, unless approved to do so.

Only proceed, if the customer approves for you to proceed, in writing.


DIRECTIONS

Please follow the directions listed here, including the suggested wipe-down wait times.

– Make sure the surface is clean and dry before coating.

– Do not apply under the scorching sun, in the rain, outside in the wind or in sub-zero temps.

– If hot to the touch, only apply ceramic coatings after the surface has cooled down completely.

– Application by hand is recommended. Some installers use an HPLV gun to spray the ceramic coatings on the surface.

If you do this, take precaution not to breathe the atomized particles. Be sure to wear proper safety equipment.

Suggested Detailing / Preparation Steps to Complete BEFORE the Ceramic Coating Process

1. Wash all surfaces with Soap and Water, then Rinse with Water. Dry off.
2. (optional) Perform a high quality / professional paint correction process (1, 2, 3 or 4 paint correction stages) to remove all Scratches.
3. (optional) Polish to perfection to achieve a mirror finish.
4. Use CMX Prep Solution to remove any/ all oils, waxes, polymers, compound & polish left behind from the polishing stage.
5. This can be performed 2 times to make sure 100% of the surface is prepped for ceramic coatings.

Only Now are you ready to apply Scorpion CMX. The surface should be totally Clean, Scratch-Free and Residue-Free.

1. Place 8-10 drops of CMX Protect Basecoat on the sponge

2. The Working area should be about 3 feet by 3 feet or smaller.

3. Apply the coating evenly. Everyone has a different method.

4. After applying, wait for allotted time:

When the room temperature is:

a. 10 degrees C (50F),: wait 1-2 minutes,

b. 20 degrees C, (68F) wait 60 seconds,

c. 20+ degrees C, (70F+) wait 45 seconds

Hotter than 25C or 85F wait 10-20 seconds.

Once the timeframe has passed, use a DRY microfiber towel to polish it into a high gloss and blend in the edges. The best time to wipe the surface is when you feel a little resistance. If the temperature is very hot, (90F+)Do not wait too long after application to wipe as indicated in Step 4, otherwise, when the coating is hardened fully, it is very hard to remove. If you catch a mistake within 10 minutes, it can be wiped off with a damp microfiber towel. After 10 minutes, you will need to polish it down and start over.

If this happens, do not panic. Polish it down, using a course cutting polish and then fine polish with a machine polisher. Clean with Decon and ReCoat.
