Description
Osren's toughest paint coating.
Bird droppings, hard water and harsh chemicals are what wear down most coatings. Osren Z1 Fortified Ceramic Coating is Osren's upgraded, Japanese-made formula, with improved chemical resistance and stain protection. It cures into a crystal-hard layer that brings out vivid colour and gloss, resists etching from bird droppings and hard water, and keeps the paint slick and water-repellent, so your car holds its showroom look and is easier to keep clean.
Key features
- Stain protection: improved resistance to staining
- Vivid colour enhancement: deepens colour and gloss
- Chemical resistance: pH 1–14
- Etch resilience: helps resist bird dropping and hard water etching
- Intense hydrophobics: strong water beading and sheeting
- 9H+ hardness: rated by Osren
- Slick finish: dirt releases easily when you wash
- Made in Japan
How much do I need?
One 30 mL bottle coats two small to medium cars. For extra hydrophobics, apply a second layer 2 hours after the first.
Preparation
A coating locks in the paint as it is, so prep is everything:
- Strip and decontaminate: wash with Car Candy Destroyer, remove iron fallout with Car Candy Eliminator, then clay.
- Correct: polish out defects with a filler-free polish such as 3D ONE or Menzerna Medium Cut 2400.
- Wipe down: remove all polishing oils with a panel wipe before coating.
Application
Follow the instructions supplied with the coating. You'll also need nitrile gloves such as Grip-X and plenty of clean edgeless coating towels, like our Pearl Knit Coating Removal Cloths.
Aftercare
- Wash with a pH-neutral shampoo like CandyCoat Revive.
- Every few months, a mineral-removing wash like Fireball PH3 helps restore beading if hard water builds up.
