APEX CNT Lite Graphene Coat by APEX Technology is a highly effective superhydrophobic ceramic coating designed for all painted vehicle surfaces. Developed in collaboration with professional detailers, it combines advanced CNT nanotechnology with simple, fast application and long-lasting protection.
- CNT + Graphene nanotechnology – provides excellent durability, flexibility, and surface smoothness.
- Superhydrophobic protection – repels water and dirt, ensuring effortless cleaning and a lasting clean finish.
- 9H hardness – strong resistance to scratches, UV rays, and chemicals (pH 3–10).
- Darkening & gloss effect – enhances paint depth and delivers a premium “wet look.”
- Easy application – cures at room temperature (10–30 °C, RH 30–80%) with full hardness in 12 hours.
- Durability up to 24 months / ≈ 40 000 km – long-term shine and protection with minimal maintenance.
Application Instructions
Important information before application
Over time, the coating may slightly change color — this does not affect its physical or chemical properties.
Shake the bottle well before use.
Do not mix the coating with any other substances, water, lacquers, or thinners.
Apply only in a dry, enclosed, and well-ventilated area, protected from moisture during the process.
Store in a cool, ventilated space. When opening the bottle, handle carefully — slight negative pressure may occur.
- Surface Preparation
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, polished, degreased (using APEX Technology Prep), and completely dry.
Work only on cool panels in a dust-free, controlled environment.
- Coating Application
Apply a few drops (8–10) of CNT Lite Graphene Coat onto the supplied applicator.
Spread evenly across the surface in horizontal and vertical (cross-hatch) motions.
Wait 1–2 minutes (depending on temperature and humidity). Perform a test spot beforehand to determine ideal flash time.
- Wiping
Use two microfiber towels:
First, a short-fiber towel to remove the initial residue.
Then, a long-fiber towel to polish the surface until all traces are gone.
Ensure the coating is leveled and no high spots remain.
- Coverage
Continue applying CNT Lite Graphene Coat to all desired surfaces using the same method.
Never apply on hot surfaces or under direct sunlight.
Curing time
The coating must not come into contact with water for 12 hours after application.
Full activation occurs after 24 hours.
Do not wash the vehicle with shampoos or cleaners for the first 7 days.
Improperly applied coating cannot be easily removed, as it penetrates deep into the paint structure.
