We recommend that Pure Shampoo is used as part of your regular on-going wash cycle and UHD Wax can be used to boost protection and finish periodically throughout the year. Avoid using abrasive products such as polishes as well as solvent based products like Intensive Tar Remover as they can reduce the longevity of coating. If you do need to use these products, apply Rapid Ceramic Spray to affected areas afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe would recommend avoiding hand carwashes that use strong alkali detergents (particularly pre-sprays) as these could impact the durability of Rapid Ceramic Spray.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it ok to apply Rapid Ceramic Spray in any weather conditions?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRapid Ceramic Spray should be applied on mild dry weather days with an optimum temperature between 10-25°C.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it ok to apply to wet bodywork?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYes, the paintwork needs to be cleaned first. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long after application should I wait before washing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe recommend leaving the coating for at least 24 hours after application before washing for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat should I do if I accidentally apply product to unpainted plastics on the bodywork?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRemove any unwanted product from the plastics with a damp cloth.
