Get The Gloss Right

Application Guide

Everything you need to get a deep, glossy, professional finish at home.

GlossRescue can make your clear coat look dramatically better, often a 60 to 90% improvement. Correct preparation, application and environment are what separate a good result from a great one.

Ideal Application Conditions

Environment Work under shelter, out of direct sunlight, in a well-ventilated spot. Avoid windy days.

Temperature Panels should be cool to the touch, ideally between 10°C and 30°C.

Humidity Keep it below 80% for a clean, even cure.

Safety First Always wear protective gloves and eyewear.

Will It Work For You? The Water Test

Before you start, mist a little water over the faded panel to preview the final result.

✓Turns glossy: you are a perfect fit. The resin will fill the defects just like the water does.

!Stays dull: the clear coat has likely failed. GlossRescue can still help, but heavy prep is needed and a respray may be the better call.

Step 1: Surface Preparation

Resin only bonds to clean, bare paint. Any wax, silicone or dirt left behind will cause the coating to fail.

Strip wash: Wash the vehicle with a strong detergent (dish soap works) to strip old waxes, then dry the panel completely. Avoid wax-based soaps.

Decontaminate: Wipe the area with a wax-and-grease remover or panel wipe until it is squeaky clean and bare.

Heavy oxidation: If the panel is chalky, white or flaky, lightly wet-sand it first to create a solid foundation.

Step 2: Application

Always do a trial run on a small, hidden spot (like the bottom of a bumper) before tackling the hood or roof.

Load the applicator: Apply product generously so the pad stays wet and the coating can self-level.

Glide and overlap: Using light pressure, glide edge-to-edge in straight, consistent lines, overlapping each pass so nothing is missed.

Keep a wet edge: If the pad feels dry or grabby, add more product straight away.

Hands off: Once a section is coated, leave it. Do not touch or rework it, the resin needs to self-level. For multiple coats, wait 45 to 60 minutes between layers.

Made a mistake? You have about 10 minutes to wipe it away with a degreaser or strong solvent like a wax-and-grease remover. Once cured, removal means heavy solvents or wet sanding.

Step 3: The Cure

24 Hours

Keep the vehicle 100% dry and untouched. No rain, no condensation.

48 Hours

Fully cured. You can safely hand wash the vehicle again.

Troubleshooting & Common Mistakes

Issue	Cause & prevention
Streaks & uneven lines	Too little product. A dry applicator causes streaks, so reload the pad often.
Flashing too fast	Too much heat. Direct sun or a hot panel dries the resin before it can self-level.
Poor adhesion	Skipped prep. Residue from old wax or soap stopped the resin bonding to the clear coat.
