INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The product is for professional use and should be applied by approved applicators only. Test on a small area or apply a test coat before application.
APPLICATION OF V4 Wheel Coating
Clean the surface thoroughly to be free of tar, iron particles, etc. on surface.
Use the white microfiber suede cloth that comes with the box or use applicator of your preference. Foam applicators can also be used as a substitute
Apply V4 Wheel Coating using normal pressure on applicator.
Make sure the area is well covered. Wait a minute and let the coating cure
Remove residue (not always necessary, depends on the surface) If you are working on a shiny or black-coloured surface make sure you don’t have any high spots or streaks when you are done.
Wait 60 minutes before adding an additional layer for maximum protection.
Allow curing of coating to begin. Curing can be accelerated using IR Lamps. Follow lamp manufacturer's recommended settings.
Keep coating away from all polish and compound dust during curing process.
INFRA-RED CURING
Curing can be accelerated by using IR Lamps. Recommended settings for IR lamps are as following:
i. Minimum 80cm of distance above the surface.
ii. Maximum 70⁰C of surface temperature.
iii. Maximum 30 minutes on each panel.

PROCESSING & CURING
Product must be applied at an ambient temperature of at least + 5°C and a relative humidity of 30 % - 80 %. Avoid direct sunlight! Apply the coating in dry conditions. Any mistakes can be rectified within approx. 10 min of application. Traces of water in the applicator should also be avoided. Applicators dampened with water should not be used. The applicators cannot be reused once the coating has been applied. Wheel Coating is dry-to-touch after about one hour.
The recommended curing conditions (until water resistant) are:
- Room temperature: 8 – 12 hours
- 80 °C (Infra-red curing): 2 hours
Curing can be accelerated by using IR Lamps. Recommended settings for IR lamps are as following:
i. Minimum 80cm of distance above the surface.
ii. Maximum 80⁰C of surface temperature.
iii. Maximum 30 minutes on each panel.
The Wheel Coating is fully effective after 5 – 7 days’ curing at room temperature. During this time, the vehicles should not be driven into a vehicle wash.
