magniﬁed it would

reveal small pores in

the surface.

Road trafﬁc dirt

gathers in the pores

and attacks

paintwork.

Your ﬁrst Paint Protection

application cleanses and

ﬁlls pores in the vehicles

paintwork leaving a smooth

ﬁnish that cannot be

penetrated.

Your second application

bonds with the ﬁrst to create

a hard protective skin. It

leaves a high lustre ﬁnish that

rain and dirt cannot penetrate.
