Engineered with an advanced, high-solids Si02 formula, EON | 5 forms a resilient, transparent, and incredibly hard layer that chemically bonds to your vehicle's paintwork. This cutting-edge barrier actively repels water, dirt, road grime, UV radiation, and environmental fallout, making your vehicle easier to clean and significantly more resistant to etching and fading. Despite its professional-grade durability, EON | 5 is crafted for straightforward application, allowing detailers and passionate enthusiasts alike to achieve breathtaking results. The moment it touches your paint, you'll witness an immediate surge in depth and a mirror-like gloss that transcends traditional waxes and sealants, safeguarding your investment with a stunning, long-lasting brilliance.

Key Features:

• Up to 5 Years Durability: Provides long-term, robust protection against environmental contaminants, UV damage, and chemical degradation.
• Immediate Depth & Gloss: Instantly enhances paint clarity, creating an incredible wet-look finish and profound color richness.
• Professional Grade, Easy Application: Engineered for exceptional results with a user-friendly application process.
• Superior Hydrophobicity: Creates extreme water beading and sheeting, making maintenance washes effortless and promoting self-cleaning.
• Enhanced Scratch Resistance: Forms a harder surface layer, offering increased protection against light swirls and marring (not scratch-proof).
• Chemical & UV Resistance: Shields paint from harsh chemicals, acid rain, bird droppings, and harmful sun exposure, preventing fading and etching.
• Versatile Protection: Ideal for painted surfaces, clear coat, and can often be used on wheels and trim (consult specific instructions for these areas).

Application Instructions for EON | 5 Professional Ceramic Coating (50ml)

Applying EON | 5 requires meticulous preparation for optimal results and maximum durability. Work in a controlled environment, out of direct sunlight, and ensure surfaces are perfectly clean and decontaminated. This product is designed for professional or experienced enthusiast use.

Environment & Safety Precautions:

• Controlled Environment: Apply in a well-lit, dust-free environment with good ventilation. Ideal temperature is between 60-75°F (15-24°C) with low to moderate humidity.
• Wear Gloves & Respirator: Always wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile recommended) and a respirator or mask to avoid inhaling fumes. Eye protection is also recommended.
• Adequate Lighting: Use bright, even lighting to spot high spots or uneven application.
• Test Spot (Recommended): If unsure about a specific paint type or previous correction, test on an inconspicuous area first.

Preparation (Crucial for 5-Year Durability):

1. Thorough Wash: Wash the vehicle thoroughly with a pH-neutral car soap (like Neutral) to remove all loose dirt and grime.
2. Chemical Decontamination: Apply an iron remover (if needed) and a tar remover to eliminate embedded contaminants. Rinse thoroughly.
3. Clay Bar Treatment: Perform a complete clay bar treatment to remove any remaining bonded contaminants from the paint surface. This step is critical for proper coating adhesion. Lubricate generously.
4. Paint Correction (Highly Recommended): For optimal results and a "5-year" finish, it is highly recommended to perform paint correction (compounding and polishing) to remove all swirl marks, scratches, and imperfections. The coating will lock in the current state of the paint.
5. IPA Wipe / Panel Prep: After paint correction (or claying if no correction), thoroughly wipe down every panel with an IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) solution (e.g., 15-20% IPA in distilled water) or a dedicated ceramic coating prep spray. This removes all polishing oils, waxes, and residues, ensuring a perfectly clean surface for bonding. Use multiple clean microfiber towels, flipping frequently.
6. Final Inspection: Double-check all surfaces under bright light for any remaining imperfections, dust, or residue. The surface must be absolutely pristine.

Application Method:

1. Shake Well: Gently shake the bottle of EON | 5 before opening.
2. Prime Applicator: Wrap a dedicated applicator cloth tightly around the foam block applicator. Dispense 5-8 drops of EON | 5 in a line across the suede applicator to prime it. For subsequent applications, use 3-5 drops.
3. Apply in Small Sections: Work on small sections at a time, typically 2x2 ft or 3x3 ft panels, depending on conditions.
4. Crosshatch Pattern: Apply EON | 5 to the surface using an even crosshatch pattern (horizontal passes, then vertical passes) to ensure uniform coverage. Apply light, even pressure.
5. Observe Flash Time: After application, you will notice the product "flash" or rainbow out within 30 seconds to 2 minutes (depending on temperature and humidity). This indicates the solvent is evaporating and the coating is beginning to cure.
6. Wipe Off Excess / Level:
   • First Wipe: Using a clean, high-quality, short-nap microfiber towel (coating-specific towels are best), gently make your first wipe to remove the majority of the excess product.
   • Second Wipe / Buff: Immediately follow with a second, separate, clean, plush microfiber towel. Gently buff the area to level the coating and achieve a streak-free, crystal-clear finish. Ensure no high spots or streaks are left behind.
7. Inspect Thoroughly: Immediately after buffing each section, inspect the area under bright light from different angles to ensure the coating is perfectly leveled and streak-free. High spots will appear as darker, shiny, or oily areas and must be leveled immediately before the coating cures. If high spots are found, reapply a small amount of EON | 5 to the affected area and immediately level with fresh towels.
8. Continue: Move to the next section, overlapping slightly with the previously coated area, and repeat the application and leveling process until the entire vehicle is coated.
9. Change Applicators/Towels: Change your applicator cloth after every 2-3 panels or if it becomes hard/crusty. Use plenty of fresh microfiber towels throughout the process, as saturated towels can cause streaking.

Curing & Aftercare:

1. Initial Cure: Allow the vehicle to cure in a dry, dust-free environment for at least 12-24 hours after application. Avoid any contact with water during this initial curing phase.
2. Full Cure: The coating will continue to cure over the next 7-14 days. During this full cure time, avoid washing the vehicle with harsh chemicals or abrasive methods. Light dust can be gently wiped with a quick detailer if absolutely necessary.
3. Maintenance: After the full cure, wash the vehicle regularly with a pH-neutral car soap (like Neutral). Use EON | Shield or Ceramic Rinse (spray-on sealant) as a drying aid to maintain and boost the coating's hydrophobic properties and extend its lifespan. Avoid abrasive waxes or polishes over the ceramic coating.
4. Storage: Store the EON | 5 bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dark place. Once opened, it has a limited shelf life.
