Instructions – Crystal Bro

CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE INSTRUCTION VIDEO!!


Important to understand

Crystal Bro is not a ceramic coating and not a polish.

It is a self-leveling treatment that:

  • Visually fills scratches and swirls
  • Provides deeper color and high gloss
  • Lays down like a protective film over the paint/clear coat

After full curing, it is this film that takes the wear and protects the car's original surface.

Must not be used on

  • Wrap / PPF
  • Existing protection (wax, ceramic coating, etc.)
  • Glass
  • Carbon fiber
  • Interior surfaces

Step 1 – Preparation (Most important)

The surface must be:

  • Completely clean
  • Completely dry
  • Free from wax, oils, and residue

Wash the car thoroughly and remove any previous protection.

Poor prep is the most common reason for worse results.

Step 2 – Proper conditions

  • Work in 15–24°C
  • Avoid cold and excessive heat
  • Work on a cool surface

Always start on a smaller area (e.g. a door).
Leave the hood for last once you have the technique down.

Step 3 – Prepare the applicator

  • Saturate the applicator thoroughly
  • It should be completely soaked through – not dry anywhere
  • Add more product after 2–4 passes

Step 4 – Application

  • Apply a generous and even layer
  • Work with straight strokes (not back and forth)
  • Use even, controlled pressure

⚠️ Important:

  • Go over the surface only once
  • If more than ~5 seconds have passed → do not go back
  • Do not overwork the surface

Crystal Bro should not be polished in.
It is self-leveling and should be left after application.

Step 5 – Check

Do you see streaks?

  • Usually too little product or uneven application

Solution:

  • Let the surface cure
  • Apply a new layer if needed

Do not rub during curing.

Step 6 – Curing (48 hours)

For at least 48 hours (may require more in colder environments):

  • Keep the car completely dry
  • Avoid rain, moisture, and snow
  • Do not touch the surface for the first few days

Moisture during curing can cause white or hazy marks.

Result

After full curing you get:

  • Deeper color
  • Increased gloss
  • Less visible scratches and swirls

On heavily worn paint, a second application may be needed.

Important to understand

Crystal Bro:

  • Restores and improves the appearance
  • Visually fills scratches

It:

  • Repairs not deep scratches
  • Does not work on  damaged paint

How to remove Crystal Bro

If you want to remove the product:

  1. Spray the entire surface thoroughly with IPA (isopropyl alcohol 99.5%), then wipe firmly with a cloth; this removes the product completely within the first 30 minutes. If more than 30 minutes have passed, see step 2.
  2. Polish off the film that has been applied over the paint/clear coat; during the first few days, a light polish is enough, but if the product has fully set then a more aggressive polish may be needed to remove the film!

Aftercare

  • Do not wash the car for 14 days
  • Avoid chemicals during this period

Important:

Avoid wiping the paint or trying to remove the product before the 14 days have passed.
Depending on the environment, the product may need time to fully set.

Cold degreaser:

  • Use with care
  • Max 5–6 minutes per wash

Common mistakes

❌ Too little product → streaks
❌ Too much pressure → uneven results and streaks
❌ Application in cold weather → poor leveling and rainbow streaks
❌ Application in heat → product sets too quickly and streaks
❌ Poor prep → reduced durability
❌ Moisture during curing → white marks
