Prep Process for Graphene Ceramic Spray re-application

[KBird]

Hello,

I'm just over a year with graphene ceramic spray coating on a Ford Explorer.  Really like the results with it and the other maintenance items (CS3, Graphene DS, boost).   Trying to figure out the prep for re-application.  Strip wash, iron remover, Tire/rubber cleaner (or trim cleaner?) on plastic,  clay.....    Reading over various post and Dan's Blog post "Graphene Ceramic Coating Explained", it sounds like I should polish the paint and can polish the windshield (assume other glass also) to remove the old coating.  What should be done with the rubber trim and plastic?  The vehicle has plastic around the wheel wells and along the bottom.

Thanks,

Kevin

Finally, No matter what you read or see on web sites, you tube or even on a label - level everything that you apply a coating to.

Clean well with TRC and an Edgeless Utility Towel, use the Surface Prep, reapply the coating, and level it all within a very short amount of time.

I do the full process, wash, clay, polish, prep, and coat on everything.  And like you, I'm finding it's lasting a year or better with maintenance.

Prep for taking it off and re-applying should be:
1. Strip Wash

2. Iron Spray

3. Clay

4. Prep - Includes correcting anything that may need it and surface prep. Only for paint work.  For plastics you will just use something like Adam's eco all purpose cleaner and surface prep for the final bit

5. Re-apply your coating.
