SE Pro is a professional-grade ceramic coating that delivers up to 6 years of protection  in a formula engineered for a forgiving, streak-free application. One 55 mL bottle coats a full-size vehicle, bonding to your clear coat as a 9H-hardness ceramic layer that repels water, resists chemicals and UV, and locks in a deep, glass-like gloss.

What sets SE Pro apart is its extended flash time. Most professional coatings flash in seconds and punish hesitation with high spots and streaks. SE Pro gives you a generous 60–240 second working window (depending on temperature), so you can level each panel properly and buff to a flawless finish — professional-grade chemistry without professional-grade stress.

How to Apply

Proper prep determines your result. A ceramic coating locks in whatever is underneath it — including swirls and contamination — so don't skip steps 1–3.

1. Wash and dry the vehicle completely.
2. Decontaminate with an iron remover and clay bar. See our Paint Decontamination Guide and Surface Prep collection.
3. Polish if needed. If the paint has swirls or defects, correct them first — our Paint Correction Guide covers the full process.
4. Panel wipe with a 50% isopropyl alcohol/water mix to strip polish oils.
5. Apply the coating with a sponge or coating block, one panel at a time, in a crosshatch pattern.
6. Wait 60–240 seconds for the coating to flash (longer in cooler temps — you'll see a rainbow effect), then buff off with a clean microfiber towel.
7. Inspect under bright light for high spots and level them immediately.
8. Let it cure: wait 20 minutes before driving, 6 hours before any water exposure, and 3 days for full cure. Avoid washing for the first week.

What You'll Need

Applicator sponge or coating block, 2–3 clean microfiber towels, panel wipe or IPA solution, and a bright inspection light. Maintain the coating with pH-neutral soap and boost it between washes with Showroom Shield Ceramic Spray.

FAQ

Is SE Pro safe for beginners? Yes — the extended flash time is specifically why we chose this formula. It gives first-time users the working window that most professional coatings don't.

How much does one bottle cover? 55 mL covers approximately 110 sq ft ⚠ — enough for one full-size car or truck exterior.

Do I need to polish before coating? If your paint has visible swirls or defects, yes. The coating will lock them in otherwise. Well-maintained or brand-new paint may only need decontamination and a panel wipe.

How do I maintain it? Wash with pH-neutral soap, avoid automatic brush washes, and apply a ceramic booster spray every few months to refresh hydrophobic performance.
