Carbon Flex is a 3 year coating. If you preform proper maintenance, it can last up to 6 years. Its exact lifespan will depend on environmental conditions, mileage, and other factors, but you can expect about 3-6 years as long as you follow all preparation and application instructions, and regularly maintain your Carbon Flex coating with Nexgen Ceramic Spray.

An important distinction to make is that we at Nexgen count a coating as “depleted” when it reaches 45% of the original coating remaining. All other brands count their coatings as “depleted” when they reach 0% remaining.

We do this because independent laboratory testing reveals that the benefits of a ceramic coating (shine, protection, hydrophobicity, etc.) start to decrease once the coating reaches 45%.

Anyone! Carbon Flex was designed for ease of application without compromising the great results.

The single aspect that determines the quality of a ceramic coating is the amount of adhered solids, which is the measure of how much ceramic is deposited on your vehicle. The “carbon technology” in Carbon Flex references its proprietary carbon-based carriers and bonding agents that result in its extremely high adhered solids rating.

These specialized components have undergone intense testing, both in the field and by a third-party testing facility. Carbon Flex is the first product in the industry to use this carbon-based surface technology, which has been proven to significantly increase the adhered solids rating of a coating.

It can be applied in temperatures ranging from 50 degrees to 100 degrees, in the shade or in the sun, and in dry or humid climates, all without any issues.

Regular maintenance is recommended to ensure its longevity and durability. It’s recommended to use Nexgen Ceramic Spray as a maintenance product 2 to 4 times annually. This will replenish the top layer of your Carbon Flex coating for maximum results.

Carbon Flex is VOC-compliant, environmentally friendly, and safe for at-home use.

Ceramic coatings in general have a much lower environmental impact than short-term coatings like waxes, which are much more likely to run off into sewer systems and nearby soil when washed.

Carbon Flex can be applied to vehicles with minor imperfections, but it is essential to note that it does not repair existing damage. It provides an additional layer of protection and can enhance the appearance of your vehicle's paint.

If you have significant preexisting paint imperfections or damage, additional surface preparation may be required ahead of Carbon Flex application.

Carbon Flex offers significantly longer-lasting protection and a superior level of gloss compared to wax or sealants. It forms a strong covalent bond with the vehicle's surface, providing enhanced protection. It’s a 6-year ceramic coating when topped with and regularly maintained by Nexgen Ceramic Spray.

While Carbon Flex is primarily designed for vehicle surfaces, some customers have successfully used it on other items, such as bicycles, scooters, outdoor equipment, and appliances. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area before applying to non-standard surfaces.

Applying multiple layers to extend a coating’s lifespan may be the biggest myth in the industry.

One of the primary ways a ceramic coating provides protection is by being resistant to foreign chemicals. A ceramic coating that is truly chemically resistant will not allow a secondary layer of ceramic to adhere to it. With that said, you only need one layer of Carbon Flex to [get] its full 6-year lifespan.

The only exceptions to this rule are ceramic sprays with a high SiO2 content, because their chemical makeup is specifically designed to integrate with a coating in order to seal and enhance it. This is why we highly recommend regularly maintaining your coating of Carbon Flex with Nexgen Ceramic Spray.

For best results, we recommend ensuring that the vehicle finish is clean, free of contaminants, and stripped of any existing waxes or coatings. It's essential to thoroughly wash and decontaminate the surface before applying Carbon Flex. Follow the specific application instructions provided with Carbon Flex for the best results.
