Element Shield is a true ceramic coating that does not contain wax. Many ceramic coatings on the market are “hybrids” or contain such a minimal amount of ceramic that the coating does not provide a strong barrier against the elements. Element Shield will replace your current wax or sealant applied to the vehicle surface. While polishing is recommended before applying Element Shield, Element Shield cannot be applied on top of a wax or sealant. Polish would be used to remove any minor defects on the vehicle surface before applying Element Shield. How to Use:Element Shield is extremely easy to apply and can be used by anyone. The most important step is to start with a spotless surface. It is VITAL that you clay bar the surface and then proceed with an isopropyl alcohol wipe down. This is important because if the surface is not extremely clean, Element Shield's longevity will be greatly compromised.Proceed with your normal washing procedures to remove any heavy debris from all the exterior surfaces. Remember not to use a car shampoo that contains wax or any other drying aids that contain wax because our primary goal is to remove any wax, sealant, and contamination on the vehicle surface. After your washing and drying process is complete, proceed with the clay bar process. You can either rewash the vehicle to provide the lubrication you need for the clay bar or use a quick detailer/cleaner such as our Minimal.The difference between the above two methods will be beneficial to certain users. While using soap on each section of the vehicle with the clay bar can be faster, it limits the ability to see the vehicle surface through the car wash solution. Using a product such as Greenway’s Minimal will allow the user to see the vehicle surface and remove the contamination. Depending on how severe your contamination is on the vehicle's exterior will greatly determine what type of process you choose. The result is to make sure that all contamination particles are removed from the clear coat surface.After the clay bar process is complete, spray each surface with isopropyl alcohol (91%) and wipe away with a microfiber towel. That panel should be completely free of paint contamination and any waxes or sealants on the surface. Feel the panel, and while it should feel smooth, any slickness that was once present should be now gone. Complete all the surfaces that are going to be coated in this method. Polishing Stage:In our opinion, this is an optional stage. While polishing will remove your minor defects from the vehicle surface, Element Shield will still work without polishing the vehicle. Since this is a true ceramic coating, the coating is not fortified with wax or polymers that fill the surface to provide a swirl-free appearance while sacrificing its longevity. This stage will change the vehicle surface's final appearance, but not how long the coating lasts on the surface. Many vehicles that are lighter in colors such as white and silver, sometimes are difficult to see swirl marks, light marring, or other minor defects unless the vehicle is placed in correct light at a certain angle. If you want to have the best possible results, using a product such as our Critical Correction, Critical Finish, Flash Knockdown, or other Greenway’s polishes and compounds would still allow Element Shield to adhere the surface. Never use a polish, glaze, or compound that contains wax or sealant! Application Stage:Make sure to start your application process in a shady and covered area. Since the coating does take a few hours to cure fully, you do not want the vehicle to get wet for approximately 6-8 hours.Spray a small mist of the product on a microfiber towel or applicator. Apply to the vehicle surface and the product “flash” for approximately 1-2 minutes. You might see a rainbow appearance, which is perfectly fine as the coating begins to cure. After the 1-2 minutes has passed, wipe down with a soft microfiber towel. This panel is now done, and you can proceed to the next panel.We recommend always work in a 2 foot by 2-foot section. This way, you can easily watch the coating as it dries to wipe down the panel before proceeding to the next. You can even set a timer for each panel to become more aware of when to proceed with that panel's wipe down.Coat the entire vehicle in the above-mentioned process. Maintenance Stage:Using any of Greenway’s premium soaps is an excellent way to maintain the vehicle surface. Using household dish detergents or other harsh cleaning agents is not recommend for the coating. While the coating is very resistant to many detergents, certain ingredients can shorten the coating's lifespan. Using Greenway’s RMB is the optimal choice for extending the life of the coating. RMB will add gloss and a thin layer of ceramic every time you wash your vehicle. RMB is concentrated, cost-effective, and speeds up the drying process. Since your vehicle is coated, no waxing or hand-applied sealants are now necessary to use. If you decide to remove the coating, machine polishing using a light correcting cream or a microfiber hand application will be necessary. While Element Shield is extremely durable, it can be removed much easier than the long term (3 plus year) coatings. This allows the end-user to try different combinations of polishes before applying the coating. This can alter the appearance of your vehicle once it is coated. Using Element Shield is also an excellent way to provide long term protection without spending 1,000 dollars or more on a professionally applied coating. Tech Tips:Make sure to inform customers of the dry time. This is crucial to allow the coating to cure fully.Multiple layers can be applied for a better appearance and help extend longevity.Inform customers on how to maintain the coating.Ensure you are performing a correction phase before applying that the correcting cream or polish does not contain any wax or sealant.Inform and show customers any defects on the vehicle surface before the application. It is important to make the customer understand that this is not a filler type product but a true coating that does not mask paint defects. A customer might then decide if professional polishing is within their budget.
