In this episode, Marshall and Nick discuss the features and benefits of hyperCLEAN TRÉ, a three-year ceramic coating.
They explain why three years is an important duration for coatings and how it aligns with the average car ownership period.
They highlight the key differences between TRE and other coatings on the market, emphasizing the high solids content and single-layer application. We also provide tips for removing high spots and stress the importance of paint correction before coating.
They walk through the application process of TRE and recommend the appropriate amount of coating to use.
Additionally, they address common questions about flash time, top coating, and maintenance of the coating. Finally, they discuss how to assess coating performance and deal with contamination.
Bullet Points
Three-year coatings are ideal for customers who keep their cars for an average of six years or less.
TRE stands out from other coatings due to its high solids content and single-layer application.
Removing high spots on TRE can be done by reapplying the coating, using water on a towel, or lightly polishing the area.
Paint correction is recommended before applying TRE to ensure a smooth and flawless surface.
During application, it is important to use the appropriate amount of coating and allow for proper flash time.
Maintenance of TRE involves regular washing with pH-neutral soap and using a dedicated coating maintenance product if needed.
Assessing coating performance and dealing with contamination may require additional steps such as clay barring or using a more aggressive cleaner.
