SALT IS THE ENEMY.

Winter does not damage paint with cold, it damages paint with road salt, brine, and the grit that comes with them. Left on the surface they eat at the finish, and dragging them across the paint during a wash is how the swirls happen. This kit is built to strip that off safely and leave a layer of protection between your paint and the rest of the season. Two versions, so you get the products that match what is actually on your paint.

• Pick the version that matches your paint: The Non Ceramic Coated version runs Hot Shot, Daddy-O, and Ride Shine. The Ceramic Coated version runs Shift, Clutch, and Punch It, all of which are safe on and built for a coating.
• Hole Shot does the pre wash: This is the step that matters most in winter. Hole Shot strips the salt film and heavy grime before you ever touch the paint, so you are not grinding salt crystals across your clear coat with a wash mitt.
• Protection sized for the season: Daddy-O is a durable paint sealant for uncoated paint. Clutch is a ceramic spray sealant that layers on top of an existing coating. Either one gives salt and brine a slick surface to slide off instead of bond to.
• A topper for the whole winter: Ride Shine on uncoated paint, Punch It on coated paint. Use it after every wash to keep the protection topped up when you are washing more often than usual.
• Five Cosmo towels: 600gsm circular knit microfiber. Winter washing burns through towels, so you get five instead of a couple.
• Wash more, not less: The instinct in winter is to skip washes because the car gets dirty again in a day. That is backwards. The longer salt sits, the more damage it does. Wash more often and the protection is what makes it quick.
• Protection, not repair: This kit protects paint going into winter and maintains it through the season. It will not undo salt etching or corrosion that has already happened.

How to Use

Non Ceramic Coated Vehicle

1. Rinse. Knock the loose debris and grime off the whole vehicle before anything else.
2. Pre wash with Hole Shot. Run it through a foam cannon or a spray bottle and cover the vehicle. This lifts the heavy salt film and grime off the paint before you make contact.
3. Rinse it off. Everything Hole Shot loosened goes down the driveway instead of onto your wash mitt.
4. Contact wash with Hot Shot. Foam cannon or bucket method, top down.
5. Rinse and dry. Dry it fully with a Cosmo before you apply anything.
6. Seal with Daddy-O. Apply it directly to the paint with the Large Blue Applicator Pad, working panel by panel.
7. Level it. Use a clean Cosmo to level the sealant off the paint.
8. Top with Ride Shine. Spray Ride Shine onto a Cosmo, wipe the panel, then flip to a dry side to level any streaks. Repeat this step after every wash through the winter.

Ceramic Coated Vehicle

1. Rinse. Same start, loose debris off first.
2. Pre wash with Hole Shot. Foam cannon or spray bottle over the whole vehicle to lift the salt film before contact.
3. Rinse it off.
4. Contact wash with Shift. Shift is pH neutral and built for coated paint, so it cleans without choking the coating's hydrophobics.
5. Rinse and dry. Dry it fully with a Cosmo.
6. Apply Clutch. Spray Clutch onto the Large Blue Applicator Pad and work it across the entire vehicle.
7. Let it flash. Give it 15 to 30 minutes to flash before you touch it. This is the step people rush, and rushing it is why sealants streak.
8. Wipe it off. Remove with a clean Cosmo.
9. Top with Punch It. Spray Punch It onto a Cosmo, wipe the panel, flip to a dry side to level. Repeat after every wash through the winter to keep the coating boosted.
