Nanolex SiShield Ceramic Coating

Nanolex SiShield is a ceramic coating developed to provide outstanding chemical and mechanical resistancy combined with great ease of use.

Nanolex SiShield provides superb corrosion protection and hardness for all painted surfaces as well as metal and hard plastics. Thanks to a very high level of hydrophobicity and density the layer formed by Nanolex SiShield will provide outstanding easy-to-clean properties.

Nanolex SiShield was developed, tested and produced in Germany.

Features & Benefits:

• Easy to apply, even for unpractised hands
• Can be used on paintwork, wheels, plastic & metal trim
• Forms a tough barrier that helps prevent wash swirls
• Virtually impervious to extremes of pH – will not wash off
• Repels dirt, water, bird droppings, tar & brake dust
• Protects black trim from damaging effects of UV
• Highly durable – lasts for up to 20,000 miles of daily driving

How to use

 Processing temperature: 5-30°C – Avoid direct sunlight and/or high air humidity.

1. Nanolex SiShield can be applied directly to all clear-coated (lacquered) surfaces. The lacquer surface must be dry and free of any contamination or dust. We strongly recommend to use Nanolex EX directly before the application to make sure that all oils/fillers and other dirt are removed completely from the surface. Use Nanolex microfiber towels and turn or exchange cloth frequently during cleaning/polishing.
2. If the car was machine polished before the application it is absolutely necessary to remove any (mostly invisible) fillers and oils – if those are not removed a white or grey hazing will appear on the paint once SiShield was applied. The paint sealant layer itself is too thin to be visible and can easily buffed off – only fillers and oils will become visible. We recommend to wash the car with Nanolex PreWash after the paint was machine polished to safely remove the majority of the contamination.
3. Spread 5-10 drops/m2 of Nanolex SiShield on a microfiber applicator pad and apply it sparingly by rubbing in with light pressure in criss-cross motions. Remove the coating residue with a soft microfiber cloth after a maximum of 3 minutes. There is no pressure necessary to remove it completely.
4. Let Nanolex SiShield cure on the surface for at least 12 hours (at ambient temperature, assuming 20°C) before the first water contact. Do not wash the car within the first 72 hours.

Curing time depending on temperature: @50°C: 3-4 hours @80°C: 2 hours
