One of the world's most advanced, high performing durable coatings in existence.

Nv PRO is the flagship ceramic coating of the entire Nv Car Care range boasting incredible levels of gloss, slickness, protection, self-cleaning & more.

If you are choosing to use this coating for your business, then you will be applying one of the most advanced coatings in the world today. We want to ensure you are equipped with all the knowledge necessary to apply Nv PRO correctly, and completely transform any vehicle.

Surface Preparation Tips:

As an authorised Nv Nova Pro Installer, we recognise your ability to undertake the vital surface preparation steps in order to ensure you achieve a strong and long-lasting bond with Nv Nova Pro to the vehicles paint and trims. To emphasise this crucial pre-application process, we wish to list a few hopefully useful points in reaching those surface preparation goals.

Pre-wash:

A decontamination pre-soak foam (we recommend Nv Snow+ 1:10) allowed to adequately dwell, followed by a thorough pressure rinse down.

Physical hand wash:

A strip car wash detergent (we recommend Nv Snow+ 1:200) with a microfibre wash mitt. Where appropriate we also recommend using a detailing brush with your detergent to clean around more intricate car trims to remove trapped dirt.

Chemical and/or Mechanical Decontamination:

The use of chemical iron, tar, mineral and traffic film removal chemicals (we recommend Nv Purify and Nv Shift neat) and/or automotive clay to remove potential road and environmental particles as well as any prior car waxes or sealants.

Paint Correction:

Compounding and/or polishing car paint (we recommend Nv Precision and/or Nv Finesse) to ensure defects such as paint oxidation, water etchings, swirls and scratches are removed, and paint is amplified to its greatest gloss and clarity levels.

Wash, Dry & Panel Wipe:

In the circumstance where the vehicle is subjected to increased volumes of compounding dusts and/or other environmental contamination, we recommend repeating the pre-wash and physical wash steps and blow drying the vehicle after paint correction and prior to performing a full and thorough panel wipe down with an isopropyl alcohol (we recommend Nv Clarity) or IPA product

The end goal to your surface preparation process is to have all the paint and trims as completely clean, bare and defect free as possible, prior to applying Nv Nova Pro in order to ensure an effective long-lasting bond with the coating to the vehicle’s surface.

Application Tips:

Environment & Safety:

Nv Nova Pro must be applied out of direct sunlight in a well-ventilated garage or shop environment and with appropriate use of PPE wear.

Panel Wipe:

Immediately prior to applying Nv Nova Pro, you must firstly perform a thorough IPA panel wipe (we recommend Nv Clarity) to remove any surface oils, fingerprints or light dust from the vehicle.

Shake the Bottle:

Always gently shake the bottle before initial use to ensure the ingredients are well combined

Apply a bead of Product:

Using the included suede applicator wrapped around the foam block, apply a bead of Nv Nova Pro along the applicator before every application to a new section. Also ensure you switch to a new suede cloth every half hour or before the coating starts to cure and harden on the cloth.

Section, application & Climate:

Apply Nv Nova Pro in overlapping horizontal and vertical lines in an approximately half meter section at a time, doing 3 to 5 total passes in each section. In warmer climates we recommend applying Nova Pro to a section at a time, working slightly smaller sections and limiting passes to three in total. While in colder climates you can apply Nova Pro to larger and even multiple sections at a time and perform 5 total passes to encourage the coating to flash a little quicker.

Weather, Climate and Flashing Times:

All ceramic coatings are extremely temperature sensitive, and Nova Pro is no exception. The hotter and more humid the climate is, the faster Nova Pro will flash and need to be wiped or levelled down, and the colder the climate is, the longer it will take for this coating to flash and bond to the surface. For example, you can expect Nova Pro to flash within 30 seconds to a minute on a humid 40 degrees Celsius day. On a much colder 10 degrees Celsius day, it could take as long as 8 to 10 minutes for it to flash and bond to the paint. While on a more typical 20 to 25 degrees (Celsius) day with just moderate humidity it should be closer to 2-4 minutes.

Coating's Flashing Signs:

As Nv Nova Pro starts to flash and bond to the surface it will change from looking quite dark and wet to becoming increasingly streaky and a little hazy as a sign its ready to be levelled down with your cloths. Additionally, if Nova Pro smears a lot during your wipe-off, it’s a sign you haven’t waited long enough, while if Nova Pro is extremely tacky and difficult to wipe down, it’s a sign you’ve waited too long.

Wiping and Levelling down the coating:

Always use two low pile cloths at a time to level or wipe down the excess coating, and be sure to fold, rotate and switch to fresh cloths throughout coating an entire vehicle - you should use approximately 6 cloths per car and per coat. Your first cloth should be used to gently gather the majority of the excess coating, while your second cloth should be used to buff the section streak free.

Working Method:

Always apply Nova Pro starting from the roof and most inner sections and working your way down and outwards from the vehicle. Be sure to overlap every new section by at least an inch or so to make sure you don’t miss any spot and achieve a perfect uniform finish.

Layering:

If the most long-term durability is desired from Nova Pro ceramic coating, it’s advisable to apply a second layer between 45mins -3 hours depending on the climate. When applying two layers in much hotter and humid climates, we advise coating only half the vehicle at a time and then immediately applying the second layer over the same half of the vehicle before repeating the process on the second half of the car due to curing time restrictions. Though in more average weather conditions 90mins to 2 hours should be fine for a second coat, and in more extreme colder climates, the second layer should be applied approximately 3 hours later.

Curing & Aftercare Tips

On average a layer of Nv Nova Pro will cure 80% to 90% within the first 12 to 24hrs, while two layers of the coating may take 24-36hrs to reach the same hardened state. It’s vital that within this approximately 24hrs period the coating is keep dry and free from any contamination. The last 10% to 20% of curing will occur over the next week or two as all the carrier solvents escape from the coating in which the car can be used as normal during this period.

Although infrared lights are not required with Nova Pro, they can be used to speed up its curing time, particularly in colder climates.

It’s advised to wait at least 1-2 weeks (depending on the climate) before using any detergents or chemicals to wash the vehicle after coating it. To maintain the peak performance of the coating, we recommend using pure and non-additive car soaps such as NV Snow for future maintenance washes. Nv Snow+ can be used periodically in 3-to-6-month intervals to deep clean the coating as needed based on the environment and contamination. Iron removal and water spot chemicals can also be used periodically as needed to remove fallout and water spots from the coating.

Nv Nova Boost can be applied over Nova Pro after 24 hours if the vehicle doesn’t have undercover parking to help protect the coating while it fully cures and can be additionally used after each wash and even as a drying aid to provide a sacrificial layer of protection.

More durable topcoat sealants such as Nv Nova Jet or Lustre can be used every few months to increase the coating's durability and performance over the years but should not be applied until the coating is fully cured.
