How to Apply Hydro Line Ceramic Coating for Instant Gloss and Protection

Preparation is key when applying a ceramic coating. For a detailed guide, check out our blog How to Prep For Ceramic Coating.

Here's a quick rundown:

1. Wash Your Car: Use a specialized cleaner, such as Clean Slate to remove any old coatings or residues that could damage the ceramic bonding.
2. Clay Bar Treatment: Once your car is squeaky clean, use a clay bar treatmentto remove any embedded impurities in the paint.
3. Inspect and Polish: Check your car’s paint for swirls or imperfections and polish if needed. Remember, ceramic coatings lock in the paint’s current condition, so fix any flaws first.
4. Work in the Right Environment: Make sure you're in a shaded, well-ventilated area, free from direct sunlight and dust, for the best results.

HydroSlick Ceramic Coating Hyper Wax is a super-easy gel that provides top-notch protection, killer shine, and crystal-clear clarity.

First, give the HydroSlick bottle a good shake to mix it up. Put a few drops (like three or four) on a Premium Grade Microfiber Applicator. Work in small sections so it goes on evenly and doesn’t dry out too fast.

Spread HydroSlick in straight lines, not circles, to avoid swirl marks. Overlap your strokes a bit to make sure you cover everything.

After you’ve applied it, let it sit for a minute or two. Then, grab a green Workhorse Professional Grade Microfiber Towel, fold it into quarters, and gently buff off any extra HydroSlick. You’ll get a streak-free, super glossy finish.

Work in a shaded, dry spot. Let the coating cure for two to three hours to achieve the best durability and protection.

HydroView Ceramic Glass Cleaner & Coating is your all-in-one solution for cleaning and protecting your glass surfaces, inside and out. It gets rid of dirt and dust while making water bead right off for better visibility when you're driving.

Start by spraying HydroView onto a blue Workhorse Microfiber Towel or directly on the glass. Wipe the glass in straight lines to clean off any dirt, dust, or fingerprints. This will give you a crystal-clear surface and apply the ceramic coating simultaneously.

Flip your towel to the clean side and buff off any leftover residue for a streak-free, polished look. HydroView’s hydrophobic magic keeps water, dust, and pollen from sticking to the glass, keeping it cleaner longer. Work in a shaded area for best results.

Pro Tip: If the glass is really dirty, clean it first with a regular glass cleaner, such as Streak Free Window Cleaner, before using HydroView.

HydroShield Vinyl, Rubber, Plastic Ceramic Shine Coating keeps your tires and trim looking fresh and protected from rain without that greasy shine. Its hydrophobic properties make it super resistant to water and dirt, so your trim and tires stay clean for months.

Start by spraying a little HydroShield—just two sprays—onto a Premium-Grade Microfiber Applicator. Don’t spray directly on the surface to avoid overspray and accidentally damaging the paint.

Use straight, even strokes to work HydroShield into the trim or tire surface. Cover everything to ensure consistent protection.

When you’re done, wipe off any extra with a clean, black Workhorse Microfiber Towel for a smooth, dry-to-the-touch finish. For best results, work in a shaded area and let it cure for two to three hours.

HydroSpin Wheel and Rim Ceramic Coating and Quick Detailer is your go-to for keeping your wheels looking awesome with durable ceramic protection.

Start by putting a few drops of HydroSpin onto a Premium Grade Microfiber Applicator.

Dab HydroSpin onto the wheel in a few spots to spread it out, then work it in with straight, even strokes. Make sure you cover all areas, including those tricky corners, for full protection.

Let HydroSpin sit for a minute or two to "flash" and bond with the surface. Then, use a clean black Workhorse Microfiber Towel to gently buff off any extra product, revealing a smooth, glossy finish.

For best results, work in a shaded area and let HydroSpin cure for two to three hours before hitting the road.
