What is clear coat paint?
Today, over 90% of all factory finishes are clear coated. A clear coat finish is a multi-layer paint system comprised of a primer, a base coat (the pigment colour of your car), and a clear coat. Although a clear coat does protect the base coat, it is very sensitive to scratches and swirl marks because it is clear, unpigmented layer and light reflects through it. Clear coat paints require special care and should never be treated with harsh abrasive waxes or rubbing compounds, unless you are a experienced detailer using the proper equipment.

Do I have clear coat paint?
An easy way to tell whether you have clear coat paint is to look at your applicator when applying a surface prep or wax. If you see the colour of your car on your applicator, you do not have a clear coat.
