Typically, a ceramic spray will come with its own application tool, like a cloth or brush. We'd suggest sticking to that if it's included.
If, however, nothing is provided in your kit, you might consider:
We'd advise against immediately applying the product directly onto the Charger's body.
For one, you could end up with unsightly stains or paint speckles.
Furthermore, there's a chance that the ceramic might harden before you spread it across the entire surface, forcing you to remove and redo the entire layer.
Set the Ceramic Coating and Wait
Once you've applied the product, give it a minute or so—roughly 60-90 seconds—to settle and start showing its qualities.
Buff Away Residual Product with a Microfiber Cloth
There's likely to be some remaining polish on the car. Gently go over the area with a microfiber cloth to get rid of it.
Ensure you've removed all the excess polish to avoid leaving marks. Remember, you're aiming for a glossy, polished Charger, not a streaky one.
Repeat the Process for Every Section of Your Dodge Charger

Treating one area is just the beginning. Each part of your Charger requires similar care. Depending on your Charger's size and condition, the time commitment will vary—though, on average, you're looking at about 4-6 hours. Invest the time, and your Charger will thank you for it with a sleek finish.
Allow the Ceramic Coating to Fully Harden
You've done the hard part. Now, it's a waiting game. While the ceramic begins to set within minutes of application, it truly solidifies over 24 hours.
During this period, it's best to store your Charger in a cool, dark environment, away from the elements. This ensures no external factors compromise the integrity of the fresh ceramic layer.
Patience is key here. The end result will be well worth the wait.
Hold Off on Washing Your Charger Post-Ceramic Application
Yes, there's more waiting. While your Charger is good to hit the road in 24 hours, the ceramic takes longer to fully set—typically, around 3-4 weeks.
During this time, it's advised to steer clear of washing your Charger. Certain chemicals in soaps or the force of the water can potentially harm the fresh ceramic coat. But with the new ceramic coat, your Charger will be more resistant to dirt and grime, meaning less frequent washes are required.
If you're itching to wash your Charger, you might consider waiting at least 1.5 to 2 weeks, but always refer to the product's guidelines. Just remember, proceed with caution.
