Repeat Coats

For maximum protection, apply 1-2 coats.

Full Cure

Hints & Tips

Avoid Direct Sunlight

Apply in a well-ventilated area, but avoid direct sunlight to prevent hazing.

Don’t Sand Between Coats

For best results, allow each coat to cure fully before applying the next.

Use a Damp Applicator

To prevent the cream from drying too quickly, use a damp cloth or brush for application.

Renewal Coats

For surfaces that experience heavy wear, thinly reapply the cream with a lint-free cloth every 6-12 months.

Test Before Use
