How many layers should I apply?

The system is built for multiple layers. Add them in thin, even coats, letting each set before the next.

How long does the protection last?

Carbon Force is described as long-lasting and resistant to washing off. Real-world life depends on prep, layering and how the car is stored.

Yes. Wash, decontaminate and correct the paint before coating, or the coating seals in flaws.

No. Strip existing wax and sealant first so the coating bonds directly to clean paint.

It is designed for painted surfaces. The same bond works on other clear-coated exterior panels.

It is a multi-layer ceramic system rather than a quick spray. It takes more time but is claimed to last longer.
