ing that is resistant to small surface
scratches caused in a car wash etc.
●The coating lasts for 5 to 8 years from

plant.
●The restoration time differs depending on
the depth of the scratch and outside tem-
perature. The restoration time may
become shorter when the coating is
warmed by applying warm water.
