3. Setup and Surface Preparation
Before applying Maxima SC1 High Gloss Coating, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, grease, and other contaminants. For optimal results, wash the vehicle thoroughly and allow it to dry completely.

- Allow the surface to air dry completely or use a clean microfiber towel to dry.
- Ensure the area is well-ventilated before proceeding with application.
4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective application of Maxima SC1 High Gloss Coating:
- Shake the can well before use to ensure proper mixing of contents.
- Hold the can approximately 6 to 8 inches from the surface.
- Apply a light, even coat over the desired plastic, fiberglass, or painted surfaces. Avoid over-application.
- Allow the coating to set for a few moments.
- Using a clean, soft microfiber cloth, gently buff the surface to achieve a high-gloss, mirror-like finish.
- For hard-to-reach areas, spray the product onto a microfiber cloth first, then wipe onto the surface.
- Avoid spraying on areas where grip is essential, such as handlebars, tires, or seats, as the product can make surfaces slippery. If accidental contact occurs, wipe off immediately.
