Why apply body clearcoat?
There are 3 main stages in the application of car paint:
- Preparing the surface to be painted;
- An application phase for the chosen paint ;
- A finishing phase to perfect the look.
In addition to sanding, the clearcoat is applied during this final finishing stage. Car care clearcoat maximises the protection and strength of the paintwork. Thanks to its texture and composition, the clearcoat extends the life of the paint and optimises the finish.
What's more, the clearcoat adds a touch of shine or a matt effect, as required. A hardener can be added to give the clearcoat extra strength and toughness. The hardener enhances the characteristics and properties of the clearcoat. Finally, we recommend applying clearcoat because of its benefits in terms of impeccable aesthetic results.

What are the safety instructions?
A flawless finish is the goal of every professional bodybuilder, but protecting your health and safety is just as important. That's why we've compiled a list of safety tips for you to follow:
- Always read the technical data sheet before application, as product requirements differ from one manufacturer to another;
- Wear safety equipment such as goggles, gloves, a mask and even a full wetsuit. Wearing equipment protects you from contact with the product, and therefore from possible allergies;
- Apply your clearcoat in a closed area, not outdoors. However, the premises must be ventilated;
- Do not touch your face, and certainly not your eyes, mouth or nose during the operation;
- Wash your hands after applying the clearcoat.
