Dead Paint Society Wipe On Clear Coat bottle

How it works

Three steps. No spray gun.

  1. 01

    Prep

    Wash and dry the panel. Strip any wax or grease and knock off loose oxidation so the coating has clean paint to grab.

  2. 02

    Wipe

    In the shade, on a cool panel, lay down a thin even coat with the applicator. Straight, overlapping passes.

  3. 03

    Level

    Leave it alone. The coating flows out as it sets. Keep water off it while it cures.

Flammable. Use with good ventilation. Protection lasts up to 2 years depending on sun exposure, climate, prep, and care.

Questions before you wipe

How long does it last?
Up to two years, depending on conditions. Sun exposure, climate, how well the panel was prepped, and how the car is washed and stored all affect how long it holds up.
What does it actually do?
It is a hand-applied coating for paint that has gone dull, chalky, and faded from the sun. You wipe it on, it levels out as it sets, and it protects the paint for up to two years.
Do I need a spray gun or compressor?
No. It goes on by hand with an applicator or a lint-free rag.
One bottle or the 2-pack?
Each bottle is 4 fl oz. One bottle suits a sedan or a few panels. Get the 2-pack for trucks, SUVs, two cars, or a second coat, and save $9.99.
Can I repaint over it later?
It is a silicone resin coating, and silicone can interfere with new paint. If the car is headed to a body shop, tell them it has been coated so they can prep for it.
