FAQs
What is Ceramic XTR?
Ceramic XTR from IMO offers outstanding protection, gives a stunning glass-like finish and is incredibly durable. It contains amino-functional siloxanes and reactive polymers that adhere strongly to your car’s paintwork, creating a semi-permanent protective coating on exterior paintwork and colour co-ordinated plastics.
How is Ceramic XTR different from other IMO protect and enhance products?
Ceramic XTR from IMO is our first semi-permanent ceramic coating. Consequently, it requires a high level of automatic application as the finish is sealed by the coating. Wash programmes like Pro-Shield and Ultra HD offer protection, but not on same scale or length of time as Ceramic XTR.
How long does it last?
The durability of any coating can be impacted by many factors, such as mileage driven, weather, climate, products used for aftercare and how well the surface was prepared prior to application. In most normal cases Ceramic XTR will provide up to one month of protection.
How will I know when it is time to reapply?
When the car is cleaned and the surface holds water for more than one minute, this is a sign that Ceramic XTR should be reapplied.
What does it protect against?
Ceramic XTR from IMO creates a tough, protective barrier for maximum resistance against the natural environment.
Does it have UV inhibitors?
Not specifically, but it does help to absorb harmful UV rays as it forms an extra protective barrier between the sun’s rays and the paintwork.
Is it ok to apply Ceramic XTR in any weather conditions?
Ceramic XTR from IMO can be applied in most normal weather conditions.
