1. Product Overview
The Maxima SC1 High Gloss Coating is a specialized clear coat formulated for Powersports vehicles. It is designed to coat plastic, fiberglass, and painted surfaces, providing a high-gloss finish that restores factory shine and color. This coating also aids in making the clean-up process easier by preventing mud and dirt from adhering to treated surfaces, particularly effective on motorcycle and ATV fenders. SC1 is water resistant and leaves a dry, long-lasting luster.

3. Preparation and Setup
Proper surface preparation is essential for optimal results and adhesion of the SC1 coating.
- Clean the Surface: Ensure the surface to be treated is thoroughly clean and free of dirt, mud, grease, oil, and any other contaminants. Wash the vehicle or parts with a suitable cleaner and rinse thoroughly.
- Dry the Surface: Allow the surface to dry completely before application. Any moisture can affect the coating's performance and finish.
- Protect Surrounding Areas: Mask off any areas not intended for coating, such as tires, brakes, or sensitive components, to prevent overspray.
- Shake Can: Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least 30 seconds before use and occasionally during application to ensure proper mixing of contents.
4. Operating Instructions (Application)
Follow these steps for effective application of Maxima SC1 High Gloss Coating:
- Hold Can Correctly: Hold the can upright, approximately 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) from the surface.
- Apply Evenly: Apply a light, even coat over the desired plastic, fiberglass, or painted surfaces. Avoid over-saturating the surface. A thin, uniform layer is sufficient to achieve the desired high-gloss finish and protective properties.
- Allow to Dry: Allow the coating to dry to a clear, high-gloss finish. Drying time may vary depending on temperature and humidity. The coating leaves a dry, long-lasting luster.
- Reapplication: For continued protection and shine, reapply after washing the vehicle or as needed, especially on areas prone to mud and dirt accumulation.
5. Maintenance
The Maxima SC1 coating simplifies maintenance of your Powersports vehicle's appearance.
- Regular Cleaning: The coating helps prevent mud and dirt from adhering, making subsequent cleaning easier. Simply wash the vehicle as usual.
- Reapply After Washing: To maintain the high-gloss finish and water-resistant properties, it is recommended to reapply SC1 after each thorough wash.
- Inspect Coated Surfaces: Periodically inspect treated surfaces for signs of wear or diminished shine, and reapply as necessary.
6. Troubleshooting
While Maxima SC1 is designed for easy application, here are some common issues and solutions:
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Uneven finish / Streaks | Too much product applied; uneven application; surface not clean. | Apply a lighter, more even coat. Ensure surface is thoroughly clean and dry before application. |
| Poor adhesion / Flaking | Surface not properly cleaned or dried; incompatible surface material. | Ensure surface is completely clean and dry. SC1 is designed for plastic, fiberglass, and painted surfaces. |
| No shine after drying | Insufficient product applied; surface too porous. | Apply another light, even coat. Ensure the can is well-shaken before and during use. |
