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.
It'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.
The application needs 48 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 a long-lasting coating. Note that the more product you put on, the longer it will take to cure.
Shiny Car Stuff is meant for clear coat, not base coat.
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.
You are able to hand wash the vehicle 48 hours after application. We recommend you DO NOT 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.
We estimate approximately for an 8 oz bottle to cover 1-3 average-sized vehicles. However, the larger the car/the more damage/the thicker the coat you apply, the more product it will take.
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.
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.
If you need to remove the coating after it has already begun curing, we recommend wet-sanding the area with 3000-5000 grit sandpaper. Then you can go back to Step 1 to clean and then re-apply Shiny Car Stuff. A 2nd coating after sanding usually removes most imperfections.
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.
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.
The key differentiator of Shiny Car Stuff is the self-leveling properties that make it easy to use. It also has significantly high gloss an can be put on thick to achieve depth. Many competitors require franchise fees and minimum purchase agreements. This is a retail product created for you.
Ceramic coatings are generally used to make newer cars easier to clean/prevent dirt from sticking. Shiny Car Stuff is used to add depth and enhance blemishes on older, fading clear coat. You can ceramic coat over a Shiny Car Stuff coating after allowing 48 hours to cure.
Use light pressure with a flat hand, gliding edge to edge. Keep a wet edge on your towel when applying.
Shiny Car Stuff 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 Shiny Car Stuff will look similar to a wet panel but with more gloss and depth.
Shiny Car Stuff does a great job of penetrating and covering/filling scratches. The product is designed clear coat damage, not deep gashes and damage that goes down into the base coat. We estimate the product to improve the cosmetic appearance of your coat by 60-90%.
Apply on panels that are between 50-110°F and in environments of less than 90% humidity, so as to avoid factors of extreme heat or moisture.
Panels needs to remain dry, and above 50°F during the curing process.
Shiny Car Stuff is designed to help bring back the shine of headlights and trim as well. It is not designed for use on windows.

Yes, we have a distributor application on our website which you can apply.
Yes, this product has a flash point of 136 degrees Fahrenheit, which means at that temperature it can ignite a flame. Therefore, its flammability is very low, but still considered a hazmat/dangerous good.
However your panels appear when wet is how you can expect our product to cure. If your scratches disappear with water, they will disappear with our coating. If they are still visible, they will remain visible with our product. A realistic outcome is 70% or better. It all depends on your proper application technique and attention to detail.
