Why apply a bodywork clear?

Applying a clear is the finishing phase of a bodywork intervention. It involves:

• Preparing the surface to be painted
• Applying the chosen color
• Protecting with a transparent clear

The clear’s role is to protect the paint, enhance its durability, and provide a matte or glossy effect depending on the desired finish. It can be combined with a hardener for a stronger and more resistant result.

UPOL clears

UPOL bodywork clears are designed to adapt to all types of substrates and finishes. Among their advantages:

• Excellent resistance to chemicals and mechanical aggressions
• Protection against UV and weather
• High coverage capacity
• Anti-corrosion power
• Improvement of paint lifespan
• Homogeneous and aesthetic finish

They are also easy to apply, offer good adhesion, and have a reduced drying time.

Application tips for UPOL clear

For optimal results, follow these recommendations:

• Apply your paint, then let it dry completely
• Wash the surface before clear coating to remove impurities
• Ensure the surface is at room temperature
• Mask off unaffected areas (windows, rims, chrome...)
• Mix the clear with a hardener or thinner according to the guidelines
• Respect the application distance and normal humidity conditions
• Let dry then sand if necessary

Safety instructions

• Consult the technical data sheet before use

• Work in a well-ventilated environment
• Avoid outdoor interventions
• Do not touch your face during application
• Wash your hands thoroughly after use
