Protecticoat is made to restore the color and shine to oxidized surfaces. The product will fill surface pores and seal them off for future protection. Protecticoat is made with the maximum amount of UV protection to reduce damage from the sun. For the application to take place, the surface only needs to be cleaned and dried. Sure, you can use a ceramic coating on surfaces that have been oxidized, but several steps are needed to buff and prep the surfaces first. The process is a lot of work and time consuming. Ceramic coatings are, for the most part, meant to protect the surface from getting to the point that Protecticoat is needed. And most of them do a fine job for that. Another plus to using Protecticoat on heavily oxidized surfaces is that you can still apply a ceramic coating or wax on top of it for even more shine and protection.

Please read all instructions before applying. That being said, the process if very simple. Thoroughly clean the item to be coated using dish detergent or comparable cleaning soap, let it dry, spray it, let cure for 24 hours. That’s it!!

Protecticoat is an acrylate polymer solution that applies evenly and rejuvenates the appearance of many different surfaces with a faded and/or oxidized exterior, restoring depth to color-infused products while adding a sheen to oxidized surfaces. Protecticoat works on fiberglass, painted surfaces, and plastics. The more oxidized, the better. Common applications include recreational vehicles (RVs), tractors and other equipment, lawnmowers, metal lawn furniture and fencing, metal buildings, and virtually any item that was originally manufactured using single state paint. The product will penetrate the pores to bring back the deep, rich colors and will adhere to and seal the surface to prevent future fading and oxidation caused by the sun, salt spray, and other environmental contaminants. The product is clear in color and can be applied to any color of finish. Once cured, wax may be applied on top of the coating for even more shine and protection.

This will depend on the level of oxidation and damage that the surface has experienced so far. Protecticoat should  be applied in several light coats until the desired appearance is realized. Spraying in heavy coats will cause the product to run.

No. Protecticoat is designed to restore the finish and luster to used units with a faded or discolored appearance. Protecticoat will not take the place of painting or clear coating, hence the vast cost differences between the processes. The product may not work on units that have had another sealer put on the surface at a prior time. If there is oxidation and the surface still exhibits a mirror-like appearance, there has most likely been another sealer already applied.
