Step‑by‑Step Guide to Installing DuraSlic MOBILE

1. Surface Preparation: The Foundation of a Flawless Application

Brian emphasizes that proper surface preparation is crucial. Follow these steps:

1. Wash & Decontaminate:
   Start with a high‑quality car shampoo to remove surface dirt. Next, use a clay bar treatment to eliminate embedded contaminants.
2. Paint Correction (If Necessary):
   Polish your car to remove swirl marks, scratches, or oxidation for a pristine finish.
3. Panel Prep:
   Instead of an IPA solution, Brian recommends using the
   
   DuraSlic Glass Prep & Panel Wipe
   . This specialized spray removes any remaining oils, waxes, or residues to ensure optimal bonding of the ceramic coating.

Skipping these steps can result in an uneven coating and diminished durability.

2. Application of MOBILE Ceramic Coating

With the surface prepped, it’s time to apply the coating:

1. Application Technique:
   Shake the DuraSlic MOBILE bottle well and apply a few drops onto a suede applicator pad.
2. Working in Sections:
   Brian demonstrates working in small sections using a crosshatch pattern (both horizontal and vertical strokes) to ensure even coverage.
3. Observing Flash Time:
   Watch for the coating to “flash” (start curing) so you know when to buff.
4. Buffing & Leveling:
   Once the coating begins to haze, gently buff the area with a high‑quality microfiber towel to remove excess product and achieve a smooth, streak‑free finish.

3. Curing & Aftercare

After the application is complete, proper curing and aftercare are essential:

1. Cure Time:
   Allow the coating to cure for 24 hours before exposing your vehicle to water.

2. Post‑Installation Care:
   Avoid washing the car for at least 5‑7 days. Use only pH‑neutral shampoos for maintenance to preserve the integrity of the coating.

Following these aftercare guidelines ensures that your vehicle enjoys long‑term protection and a stunning gloss.

4. DuraSlic FlowX Top Coat: Enhancing Protection and Shine

Brian Finn also covers the benefits and application of the DuraSlic FlowX Top Coat—an additional step that elevates the coating’s performance:

• Purpose & Benefits:
  The FlowX Top Coat is designed to add an extra layer of protection and enhance the hydrophobic properties of DS 1500. It intensifies the gloss and creates an even slicker surface, which further repels water and contaminants. This top coat not only boosts durability but also simplifies maintenance.
• How to Apply:
  1. Timing: Allow the base DS 1500 coating to cure as recommended before applying the top coat.
  2. Application: Pour a few drops of DuraSlic FlowX Top Coat onto a clean applicator pad and work it onto the surface in a similar crosshatch pattern.
  3. Buffing: Once the top coat begins to haze, gently buff it with a microfiber towel to ensure a smooth, streak‑free finish.

Using the FlowX Top Coat is a smart way to maximize the longevity and performance of your ceramic coating, giving your vehicle an extra edge in both protection and aesthetics.
