1) PLASTIC PRIMER
Definition: Plastic primer pen is used to promote adhesion between the plastic surface & applied topcoat paints where the paints have been completely scratched by the impact of a foreign object. Failing to apply the plastic primer before painting will lead to a failed long-term touch-up repair.
Procedure: Remove the plastic primer cap and discharge the initial amount to rubbish by pressing the pen down in an upright position and squeezing the pen body slightly. Apply 1 coat to the bare plastic. Allow drying for 3 minutes in between coats in good weather.
Plastic Primer Tips & Tricks: Do not use plastic primers on metal surfaces. Always use in a well-ventilated area and wear eye protection & gloves.
2) COLOR
Definition: Non-metallic paint color pen is used to cover deep discolored scratches, chips & paint defects caused by the impact of an object where color coats are completely removed and/or left paint transfer that is impervious to solvent & is too thick to remove using cream cutting agents.
Procedure: Remove the cap and discharge the initial amount to the rubbish by pressing the pen down in an upright position and squeezing the pen body slightly. Apply 1 to 2 coats to the damaged area where the color has been completely removed. Allow drying for 5 minutes in good weather in between coats.
Paint Color Tips & Tricks: Always know your paint layers and make sure you are not touching up clear scratches with color or the scratch will look just as bad as the original scratch. You can usually tell which layer the scratch is in when using the Solvent or Clean-up solution. As the solvent is applied it will give the area a wet look. While it is wet if the scratch disappears that usually means that your paint scratch is confined to the topcoat layer of the paint and Clear Gloss should be used.
3) POLISHING WAX
Definition: Topcoat waxing polish is designed to protect your vehicles and other items of paintwork. Note: Wax polish is not included in this kit.
Procedure: Apply a generous amount of polishing wax to the microfibre polishing cloth. Using a circular polishing action apply the polish to the entire panel and allow it to dry to a haze. Using a second microfiber cloth remove the applied wax.
Polishing Wax Tips & Tricks: Always wash your vehicle and allow it to dry before commencing waxing. Do not polish your vehicles and other items in the sun.
