If you love the 22ple VX Pro Glass Coating, you need to give the 22ple VX Pro2 Glass Coating a try! Featuring a stronger chemical bond, better UV protection, improvement in gloss, and a longer lasting layer of protecting, the Pro2 is the ultimate coating! For over five years, 22ple has worked to better the already amazing VX Pro. Driven by the pursuit to develop the best coating possible, 22ple used the pro-only ZX Mistico Elemento as a starting point to enhance the VX Pro. Packed with a new generation of UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) Silica, the VX PRO2 performs much better with only a marginal increase to the cost. In the words of 22ple "UHMW silica is like silica on steroids!" You now need a lower percentage of active silica so it can perform better than previous generations of silica based products. These enhancements make VX Pro2 a great value, while enhancing that deep gloss we all love and protecting for 3 years. This ultimately makes this product not just another coating it is "the coating" other coatings aspire to be. The 22ple VX Pro2 Glass Coating is your answer if you are looking for long lasting protection that makes your paint pop!
Please Note: 22ple Glass Coat Applicator (Double Sided) sold separately.
Sizing Recommendations:
30ml - With some experience you can get two or more applications.
50ml - Best value and if you are looking to perform multiple applications or want to apply on multiple vehicles.
22ple Application Instructions:
Ensure the surface is cleaned & polished.
Remove all oil/polishes on the surface by doing an IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) wipe down. Use a mixture of 50% Isopropyl Alcohol with 50% distilled water.
Please make sure the surfaces are cool and TOTALLY dry before applying the glass coat.
Pour a small amount of glass coat liquid onto the 22ple Glass Coat Applicator (Double Sided) and apply in a straight line motion. Do not over-apply as it does not give you additional benefit, but it might make it difficult to remove.
Make sure ALL surfaces are covered. You should then buff off the coating with a clean, lint-free microfiber towel within 8-10 minutes in normal room temperature. Should you encounter any dried coating, simply reapply another layer over it and buff. If an area becomes dry / tacky, then it's a sign that you allowed it to sit on the surface too long. We like to use 2 towels for removal. The first for main product removal, and then immediately go over it again with the second towel to ensure that you have completely removed all residue. As a good rule of thumb, apply 22ple to just 2 panels / sections at a time, and then proceed with residue removal. If you extend any more than this, the coating will dry too much and can become tacky.
Increase dwell time if working in colder temperatures, decrease when working in higher humidity accordingly.
Cure time - Do not wash your car or expose the car to open weather element,rain, snow etc for around 8-12 hours.
After this initial curing time, the car can be washed or driven per normal.
The full curing time is about 5 days, at which time the full layer of the coat will be hardened and the surface will look its best.
Do not reuse any applicator pads used to apply this coating. 22ple will dry and harden these applicator pads and if used again they could potentially mar the paint.
Layering Recommendations:
Allow the base layer to sit for a minimum of 12 hours (24 hours is highly recommended) before consider topping with a second layer.
24 hours between coats are highly recommended especially for VX PRO2 due to it's higher silica content.
If cured by IR curing lamp (please use shortwave IR tubes for best results), then 2nd layer is possible after 4 hours.
Observe the usual protocol of keeping moisture & dust away from the coated surface for at least 12 hours (4~6 hours if cured by IR curing lamp).
