TEC Ceramic Detail Spray - TEC582 - 5 Gallon

Technician’s Choice TEC582 Ceramic Detail Spray delivers all three in a single, versatile product. This advanced ceramic-infused spray is designed to offer exceptional gloss, slickness, and durable hydrophobic protection to virtually every exterior surface of a vehicle. TEC582 is engineered for use as a standalone ceramic protectant, as a topper or booster for existing ceramic coatings, or as an aide in polish residue removal, making it a must-have in any professional detailing environment.

TEC582 Ceramic Detail Spray incorporates SiO₂ (silicon dioxide), the core ingredient in ceramic coatings, providing a robust protective barrier that bonds to surfaces at the molecular level. This barrier enhances paint clarity and depth, produces tight water beading, and helps repel dirt, dust, and environmental contaminants. Its highly substantive formula ensures excellent coverage with only a few sprays per panel, reducing product waste and increasing efficiency in express detailing services.

Unlike traditional waxes or polymer sealants, TEC582 can be applied to both wet or dry vehicles, immediately following a wash or during a final wipe-down on a dry surface. It’s safe on paint, glass, plastic trim, chrome, moldings, and wheels, providing versatility without risk of streaking or staining. Its ease of use, combined with unparalleled surface slickness and deep gloss, makes it suitable for both professionals and enthusiasts seeking high-end results with minimal effort.

• Efficient Coverage – Highly substantive formula requires minimal product per panel

Benefits Over Competing Products

• Ease of Use: No complicated prep is needed—spray and wipe on wet or dry surfaces for instant results
• Superior Longevity: Lasts longer than traditional waxes and sealants, maintaining hydrophobic protection and gloss for weeks
• Versatility: Compatible with all exterior vehicle surfaces, reducing the need for multiple products
• Time Savings: Boosts workflow efficiency for professionals by serving as both a protectant and detailing spray

How Long Will the Product Last After Application?

TEC582 provides up to 3-6 weeks of hydrophobic protection per application when used as a standalone detailer, depending on driving conditions, washing routines, and environmental factors. When layered over an existing ceramic coating, it helps maintain and extend the life of the coating for up to 4 months with regular use.

Finish and Residues

The finish is high-gloss, slick, and smooth to the touch. TEC582 leaves no streaks, hazing, or oily residues, making it ideal for use even in high-humidity conditions. Surfaces stay cleaner longer, with reduced dust adhesion and easier future washing.

Step-by-Step Application Process

1. Preparation: Wash and rinse the vehicle thoroughly. For best results, perform a clay bar treatment if necessary.
2. Shake Well: Shake the bottle or gallon container thoroughly before use.
3. Application on Wet Surfaces:
   • Mist a light spray onto one panel at a time, directly over the wet surface.
   • Use a microfiber drying towel to spread and dry the product in one motion.
4. Application on Dry Surfaces:
   • Lightly mist the product onto one panel or directly onto a microfiber towel.
   • Spread evenly over the surface.
   • Buff with a clean, dry microfiber towel to a streak-free, glossy finish.
5. Repeat on all panels, glass, wheels, and trim until the vehicle is fully treated.

Best Practices

• Work in shaded areas and on cool surfaces to prevent premature drying or streaking.
• Use two microfiber towels—one for application and one for final buffing.
• Apply light mists rather than heavy sprays; TEC582 is highly concentrated.
• Do not allow the product to dry on the surface before wiping and buffing.
• Reapply every few weeks for optimal gloss and protection, or after every wash to maintain a showroom finish.

Safety Information

• Use in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhaling vapors.
• Avoid contact with eyes; in case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Do not ingest; seek immediate medical attention if swallowed.
