..PRODUCT APPLICATION .
APPLICATION CONDITIONS
Use when temperatures are between 40°F and 90°F (4°C and
32°C). Use in well ventilated and covered areas away from the
sun. Do not apply Wipe New to hot surfaces or in direct sunlight.
Ensure surface is clean, dry and cool to ambient temperature
before applying Wipe New.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Prep the exterior of all lenses intended for application at
the same time so that one Wipe-It™ can be used to treat
all lenses. Once the Wipe-It™ is opened it begins to cure.
Do not open the Wipe-It until needed and complete the
application within a few minutes.
Wash the intended surface thoroughly with a standard soap,
cleaner or car wash (free of wax, moisturizers or other additives).
Rinse and let dry. For best results, apply a degreaser to heavily
worn areas to fully clean the surface.
To determine whether you need to use the Professional
Lens Polishing Pad, pour water onto your headlight lens.
The way the lens looks when wet is the way it will appear
once treated with Wipe New. If the lens appears crystal
clear when wet (and hazy only when dry), then you do not
need to use the Lens Polishing Pad. Simply wash the lens
with soap and water, rinse, and apply Headlight Restore. If
the lens appears cloudy or hazy when wet; the Lens
Polishing Pad will be required.
Wet the headlight lens with water and use the green side
of the Lens Polishing Pad to wet sand the headlight lens
and remove oxidation. Ensure the lens remains wet while
using the Polishing Pad. The oxidation coming off the lens
will appear as a brownish colored liquid; continue to rub
until this visual indicator is no longer present.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow the Polishing Pad to come into
contact with painted surfaces as it may scratch these
surfaces.
..PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
SURFACE PREPARATION (cont.)
Re-wet the headlight lens and use the gray side of the
Professional Lens Polishing Pad to further polish the
headlight lens.
Dry the lens thoroughly with the included microfiber towel
and inspect the surface to ensure oxidation has been
removed. If not, repeat steps above on any missed spots.
When you can see through the lens while wet, you are
ready to apply Wipe New. Ensure all lenses are 100% dry
prior to proceeding to application.
APPLICATION
Put on the chemical resistant gloves and ensure that you are in
a well ventilated area. Make sure headlight lenses are
completely dry. Tear open the Wipe-It packet, pull out the
applicator cloth and carefully wipe the lens ONE TIME in a single
wipe, from one row to the next, with a slight overlap (like mowing
a lawn) until the surface is completely coated. Be careful to not
get any Wipe New on the surrounding paint. If treating multiple
lenses, do so before the Wipe-It dries out. If Wipe New comes in
contact with an unintended surface such as paint; wipe it off
immediately with a dry cloth. Within an hour of application (while
still undergoing initial cure), acetone may be used to remove
Wipe New from a painted surface, but not from plastic or any
nonmetal surface. Because acetone can damage vehicle parts
or paint, it should be used only after checking with the vehicle
manufacturer or a Certified Paint Professional as to how to best
apply or remove product. After Wipe New has cured, removing it
will require the use of a fine polishing compound or high grit
automotive sandpaper.
DRY TIME
The headlights will dry to the touch in about 1 hour. Do
not allow treated lenses to come in contact with direct
moisture (rain, dew, etc.) for 24 hours. Store excess
product in a cool, dry place.
COVERAGE
One Wipe-It contains enough Wipe New to treat the exterior of
multiple headlight lenses.
DISPOSAL
When finished, set the applicator cloth in a location out of the
reach of children and allow it to dry completely prior to discarding
(a few hours).
