QAre these products comparable to beginner or quick care products?
No. DKP products are not beginner products and are not comparable to quick care or hardware store products. They require meticulous preparation, controlled application, and experience in handling paint protection products.
Product Differences & Applications
QWhat distinguishes Carnauba wax from ceramic and graphene coatings?
Carnauba wax offers maximum optical depth, gloss, and hydrophobicity with limited durability. Ceramic and graphene coatings focus on durability, chemical resistance, and protection. Which solution makes sense depends on the vehicle, intended use, and maintenance habits.

QIs ceramic always better than wax?
No. Ceramic is not inherently better, but rather intended for different requirements. Wax prioritizes aesthetics, ceramic prioritizes protection and durability. Both systems complement each other – applying wax as a topping over a ceramic coating is even recommended.
QWhich surfaces are suitable for DKP products?
All DKP coatings are suitable for:
- Paint & Clear coat
- Gloss plastics
- Headlights (polycarbonate)
Application & Preparation
QHow important is paint preparation?
Paint preparation is crucial for adhesion, durability, and optical results. Residues such as oils, greases, polish residues, or old sealants significantly impair performance.

QCan the product be applied without polishing?
Yes, depending on the condition of the paint. However, for optimal results, a clean, as defect-free as possible surface is recommended.
QHow much product should I use?
Less is more. Too much product causes streaks and makes buffing difficult. A thin, even film is sufficient.
QWhat temperatures are ideal?
15–25 °C (59–77 °F), in the shade, on cool paint. No direct sunlight, no hot surfaces. Do not apply below 10 °C (50 °F) or above 30 °C (86 °F).

Durability, Care & Chemistry
QHow do I know if the protection is diminishing?
Diminished beading or sheeting does not automatically mean the coating has failed. Typical signs:
- Beading becomes weaker or more uneven
- Sheeting slows down
QWhich shampoo is suitable?
pH-neutral shampoos without aggressive cleaners. Strongly alkaline products degrease and shorten the durability of any coating in the long run – regardless of the manufacturer. With pH-neutral care, the protective effect remains stable and predictable.
QDoes the car wash destroy the coating?
No. DKP coatings are car wash resistant. Mechanical and chemical stress will shorten the durability of any coating in the long run – however, DKP coatings degrade performance gradually and controllably. Hand washing maximizes durability.
QCan a high-pressure cleaner damage the coating?
No – with proper use, high pressure poses no danger to DKP coatings. Risk only exists with:
- Very short distance to the paint
- Localized, long-term exposure to one spot
- Concentrated jet on edges or sensitive areas
Special Questions
QCan I apply wax over a coating?
Yes. Signature Wax is ideal as a topping for increased shine and smoothness over any existing ceramic coating.

QDoes wax or ceramic protect against stone chips?
No. Only paint protection film (PPF) is suitable for this. Neither wax nor ceramic offer mechanical protection against stone chips.
Shipping, Returns & Service
QHow long does shipping take?
Generally 2–3 business days, but actual delivery time depends on the shipping provider and destination.
QCan I return products?
Yes, within the scope of the right of withdrawal. Products must be returned unused and in their original condition.
QWhere can I get support for questions?
For technical or application-related questions, our support is available. We recommend clarifying questions before application.

Note and Information
Pro Tip
The biggest weakness of any sealant is inadequate pre-cleaning. Old waxes, silicones, or residues prevent adhesion – even with high-end products.
