Why preparation is critical
Clear coat is not glass-smooth — it contains micropores. FEYNLAB® protection systems are designed to work with the paint chemically, not merely sit passively on top. If waxes, silicones, fillers from ordinary shampoos, or traffic-film residue remain on the surface, application results and subsequent hydrophobicity will not match the material’s potential.
