Icon Rocklear Aftercare
Think of Icon Rocklear as a screen protector for your factory paint. Factory paint is softer than most people realize. Bird droppings on a hot summer day can eat through it in under 24 hours, leaving permanent damage that is unfixable without a costly respray.
Icon Rocklear sits between those hazards and your paint. Scratches, acid etch, bugs, UV. They all hit the Rocklear first. And unlike factory paint, Rocklear is easy to polish out and repair. That is the whole point of it.
Step 1 - The First 30 Days
The Curing Period
Your coating is still hardening. Treat it gently for the first 30 days.
During this time, avoid:
Automatic or hand car washes
Soaps or cleaning chemicals on the coated surfaces
Waxes or other protective products
If bird droppings, tree sap, or bugs land on the car during curing:
Gently rinse the area with water
Lightly wipe with a clean microfiber towel and detail spray
Do not scrub
Any minor staining that remains will be addressed at your complimentary follow-up inspection.
Step 2 - Complimentary
Your Free Follow-Up Inspection
Your package includes a free follow-up inspection and hand wash approximately one month after installation. At that appointment we will:
Verify the coating has cured properly
Address any application lines or imperfections
Remove any staining that occurred during curing
Answer any questions you have
Step 3 - Long-Term Care
Washing Your Coated Vehicle
Avoid automatic car washes with brushes. The brushes cause swirls in the Rocklear over time. Touchless car washes are fine in a pinch. For best results, hand wash with pH-neutral soap and clean microfiber towels.
When hand washing:
Apply foam soap using a garden hose sprayer or pressure washer foam gun, let it dwell for a minute, then rinse. This removes 60 to 80 percent of the dirt on most cars. Rinse thoroughly before washing to remove loose debris.
Still grimy?
Bugs, tar, or stuck-on grime: do a quick two-bucket wash. One bucket of clean soapy water, one to rinse your mitt between panels. Work from top to bottom.
Just dusty?
Light soil or water spots: skip the two-bucket wash entirely and go straight to drying.
To finish:
Lightly mist one panel at a time with rinseless wash or detail spray, then wipe with a soft plush microfiber towel. Start at the roof and work your way down to the lower panels and wheels last.
Step 4 - Easy Fixes
If Scratches or Stains Get Into the Rocklear
Light scratches, bird etch, acid rain spots, and minor contact marks can all be polished out of the Rocklear. Your factory paint underneath stays untouched.
By hand:
Apply a small amount of polishing compound to a foam applicator pad. Work it into the area with firm circular motions. Wipe clean with a fresh microfiber towel.
With a DA polisher:
A light pass with a finishing pad at medium speed takes care of it even faster if you own a dual-action polisher.
