OEM Reactive Silica Glass Coating – Superior Hardness Formula for Headlight
―――
1. Product Concept
This product is a hand-applied, reactive silica-based glass coating specifically developed for polycarbonate headlamp covers.
It forms a dense silica framework upon curing, providing long-lasting protection against haze and yellowing.
Maintains optical clarity and transparency while offering superior hydrophobic and anti-stain performance.

5. Application Method
1. Rinse off dust and mud, then wash with a neutral shampoo.
2. Dry thoroughly to remove all moisture.
3. Apply a small amount to an applicator and spread very thinly and evenly.
4. Within 2–3 minutes (before curing), wipe off completely with a clean microfiber towel.
5. Inspect for streaks or residues.
[Preparation] If haze or yellowing exists, polish with a plastic compound, then degrease and dry before coating.

6. Precautions During Application
・ Avoid direct sunlight or hot surfaces.
・ Do not apply thickly to prevent haze or streaks.
・ Ensure complete wipe-off within 2–3 minutes before curing begins.
