When it comes to long-lasting protection and a brilliant finish for your vehicle, boat, RV, or aircraft, nothing compares to Hero Resin Coating. This premium resin-based coating delivers unmatched durability, extreme slickness, and incredible gloss, ensuring your vehicle not only looks its best but is also protected for years to come. With up to 10 years of protection, Hero sets a new standard in the industry, outlasting traditional ceramic coatings. Whether you’re a professional detailer or a DIY enthusiast, Hero’s easy application process and versatility make it the perfect choice for protecting wheels, glass, clear-coated surfaces, and metals.

Key Features:

  • Enhanced Gloss and Slickness: Achieve incredible color depth, shine, and a slick surface with a durable, resin-based coating.
  • Available in Multiple Sizes: Choose from 80 mL, 120 mL, 250 mL, or 500 mL bottles to match the size of your project. A 250 mL bottle is sufficient to coat an average vehicle, while a 500 mL bottle will cover a full-size truck with product to spare.
  • Protects Against Harsh Elements: Safeguards against oxidation, acid rain, bird droppings, chemical etching, and extreme heat. Also ideal for protecting vinyl decals and wraps.
  • Hydrophobic and Zero Maintenance: Hero's hydrophobic properties allow water to bead up and roll off, keeping your vehicle cleaner for longer without ongoing maintenance.
  • Touchless Car Wash Resistant: The coating will not be removed during touchless car washes or exposure to harsh chemicals like gasoline, degreasers, and high-pH detergents.
  • Flexible Application: Apply Hero by hand or machine, with no worries about high spots thanks to its exceptionally long working time and no water-drying concerns.

Application Methods:

1. Surface Preparation:

Before applying Hero, it is critical to prepare the surface properly to ensure optimal bonding and durability:

  • Cleanse: Start by stripping any old wax or sealant from the vehicle using Greenway’s Cleanse washing solution during the wash.
  • Clay Bar: Use a clay bar treatment on all surfaces to remove embedded contaminants.
  • Fresh: Spray all areas with Greenway’s Fresh paint preparation solution and wipe with a soft microfiber towel to ensure the surface is residue-free.
  • Correction (if needed): If swirl marks, scratches, or imperfections are present, use Critical Correction and Critical Finish to perform a full paint correction before applying Hero.

2. Hand Application:

  • Apply a liberal amount of Hero to a ceramic or foam applicator (avoid microfiber applicators, as they may remove the product during application).
  • Create a picture frame by outlining a section of the vehicle, then fill in the middle using vertical and horizontal strokes. For larger vehicles, you can coat up to 50% of the surface area at one time due to Hero’s extended drying time.
  • After approximately 20 minutes, Hero will develop a darker "skim coat" appearance, indicating it is ready for removal.
  • Remove the coating with a soft microfiber towel. If removal becomes difficult, reapply a thin layer and wipe off after 5 minutes.

3. Machine Application:

  • Use a random orbit/dual-action polisher set to a slow speed for machine application. Do not use rotary-style buffers or high-speed settings.
  • Apply Hero generously to a finishing pad, then spread it evenly across the surface, using the same picture frame method.
  • After the skim coat forms, remove the coating with a microfiber towel.

Durability:

  • Hero is engineered to last up to 10 years on clear-coated and gel-coated surfaces, with varying durability on wheels, glass, and metals depending on maintenance and exposure conditions.
  • On wheels and glass, Hero can last several months to years based on driving conditions and regular maintenance.

Maintenance:

  • Hero requires no maintenance, but pollutants can build up on the surface over time. Use a clay bar and strip wash to remove any contaminants.
  • If desired, you can enhance water repellency by applying Greenway’s Trench Coat as a topper, but this is not necessary to maintain Hero’s protection.

Surfaces to Avoid:

Do not apply Hero to unpainted plastic, vinyl, or polycarbonate surfaces such as headlights or taillights. For unpainted black plastics commonly found on base-model vehicles, use Greenway’s Ceramic Trim Coat instead for protection.
