It’s known for its unique water-repellent properties, which are intended to help improve visibility during wet weather conditions.

The kit includes materials to create a vacuum seal over the damaged area, followed by an injection of a specially formulated resin. This resin is designed to bond with the glass and reduce the visibility of the damage.

While the kit aims to improve the appearance of the damaged area, it might not completely eliminate the visibility of the damage. Results can vary depending on the type and severity of the damage.

The kit is generally designed for a single repair. If you have multiple areas of damage, you might need additional kits.

It’s recommended to use the kit in moderate temperatures and avoid extreme heat or cold. Temperature variations can affect the curing process of the resin.

The kit is specifically formulated for vehicle windscreens and might not yield the same results on other types of glass or surfaces.

The product is alkaline to remove insects properly. Bonded insects are one of the most difficult stains to remove and require powerful action. The product is safe for bodywork surfaces. However, if you have already applied an additional coat, and this coating could be affected, it is preferable not to use it for such an application.

It’s best to use each product on the specific surface for which it was designed. Not because you might have problems, but because the effectiveness and application will not be optimal. For an application on glass, the original treatment is more effective and durable .

Matt paints are very delicate because they are designed to achieve a total lack of shine by spreading light over the entire surface instead of reflecting it. Bodywork with this type of paint has a rough, irregular surface, a differentiating factor that must be preserved at all costs. Although Ceramic Exterior Detailer is not a polish, it leaves an invisible protective film with good gloss properties. It may therefore affect the matt effect of the paint to some extent. We advise you to test the product on a small area before treating the whole vehicle.
