Surface Preparation

• Metal
• Thoroughly clean surface with an acid wash.
• Once the surface has been properly cleaned, test the surface for adhesion by applying Clear-Coat to a small area and observe for 5 minutes.

• If beading occurs, re-clean.
• Once surface is properly cleaned, apply 2 coats (or more) of Toon-Brite Clear Coat.
• Fiberglass
• Thoroughly clean the surface of oxidation, wax, and polish.
• For heavy build up, use Toon-Brite Fiberglass Cleaner.
• Apply Toon-Brite Clear Coat. Multiple coats may be necessary.
• Follow up with fiberglass polish then wax.

Application Information
