RPL is designed to enhance the self-cleaning of the surface, providing the ultimate protection against exhaust staining, black streaks and more! The most common cause is the combination of diesel fuel and carbon black which is sticky in nature, so it will adhere to any surface, even those that have been ceramic coated. Granted, it is easier to remove from a ceramic coating than gel coat, paint or wax, but in order to remove it, most owners or crew use harsh chemicals ultimately damaging the surface and\/or the ceramic coating. But with RPL as a top coat, any black lines or stains that still appear will be much easier to clean using only soapy water and a light washcloth.<\/p>\n<p>RPL does not protect the surface from UV damage or oxidization, therefore we recommend applying at least 2 coats of a Glidecoat<br \/>\nCeramic Coating prior to applying RPL.<\/p>\n<h3>Benefits<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Coated area becomes a self-cleaning surface which uses exposure to natural light to chemically break down dirt and other contaminates<\/li>\n<li>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Oleophobic (Oil Repellent) surface<\/li>\n<li>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Creates an extremely hydrophilic surface which aids in self-cleaning by sheeting water that carries away dirt and contaminates<\/li>\n<li>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Reduces exhaust staining &amp; black streaks<\/li>\n<li>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Easy maintenance &#8211; affected area can be easily cleaned using soapy water and a washcloth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH ALL GLIDECOAT PRODUCTS.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glidecoat RPL is an outstanding final finishing oil repellent top coating for boats, RVs and cars that are having problems with persistent exhaust soot or other carbon-based airborne pollutants that appear based on location.
