Maintenance
1What do I need to maintain my R1 Coatings® Pro coating?

Once R1 Coatings® Pro is applied to your vehicle you’ll never have to wax again. You can simply wash your vehicle as you prefer and periodically to enhance your coating you can apply R1 Coatings® Revive to restore the hydrophobicity and shine to your vehicle.
