Sonoma Sprayable Ceramic Coating FAQs
A: Sonoma Ceramic Coating is a wax replacement, as well as a polish and sealer in one. It is a safe water-based formula that contains no harmful or corrosive substances. Sonoma is meant to replace any other detailing product or coating you would need to maintain your vehicle, motorcycle, boat, RV, aircraft, & more. Sonoma Ceramic Coating provides a durable, protective layer on your car's surface, boasting 9H hardness and utilizing nanotechnology to be less prone to water spotting. Its long-lasting hydrophobic properties enable it to repel water, dirt, and grime.
A: Depending on your local conditions, Sonoma Ceramic Coating typically lasts between 3-6 months after a single application. To maintain optimal protection, we recommend reapplying every three months. The more frequently you apply Sonoma, the better the results will be and the longer the coating will last.
A: With Sonoma Ceramic Coating, a single 16oz bottle can cover 10-12 full-sized vehicles or provide 2-3 applications on a 40-foot RV. The first application on a full-sized vehicle will require around 2-3 ounces of product, but subsequent applications will use less, typically around 1/2 an ounce to an ounce. Sonoma's highly concentrated formula means that a little bit goes a long way, making it a cost-effective solution for protecting multiple vehicles.
A: Wash and dry the surface. Ideally, clay the surface or polish away imperfections. Shake the bottle well before applying. Spray onto the surface, working one section at a time. Wipe the surface evenly and continuously spread the coating. Use a clean microfiber towel to buff it off for a slick finish. Multiple application is recommended for better results. Use between washes for durable protection. Avoid applying in direct sunlight.
A: Sonoma Ceramic Coating is capable of filling in light swirl marks, spider webbing, and micro-scratches on your vehicle's surface. However, it's important to note that if your vehicle has heavy scratches, they will need to be addressed separately before treating the surface with Sonoma.
A: Because Sonoma Ceramic Coating is water-based, it can freeze in cold temperatures. To apply the product during winter months or on colder days, we recommend choosing a day when the temperature is at least 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Applying Sonoma in a garage can help prevent premature drying caused by wind chill, which can affect the effectiveness of the coating. Similarly, on days when the temperature is above 85 degrees Fahrenheit, it's important to work quickly to buff in the product to prevent it from drying before it can be properly buffed.
