You just learned what a ceramic coating is? You've heard of them but never applied one? You're a shop owner looking for a solid 1 year ceramic coating that is easy to apply and forgiving?
UNO is the answer. It offers unmatched gloss and protection to your car while being the easiest and most forgiving coating on the market. It's also perfect for Canadian winters since it creates a strong protection foundation while being designed to be topped off often.
How Do I Use It?
-
Full prep first. Decontaminate using Clay Mitt + Fuego. Polish if any defects or marring remain.
-
Load your applicator. Apply 10–15 drops of UNO onto your pad.
-
Work systematically. Use overlapping straight passes (2 ft × 2 ft area or following body lines).
-
Wait for flash / beading. When it sweats or beads, it’s time to level.
-
Level it. First pass with a high GSM Towel, then finish with a towel to catch any residual coating.
-
Cure window. Keep it dry for 12–24 hours, no exposure to moisture during cure.
-
Patience is part of the game. Don’t wash for 7–14 days after application.
The coating
A year of gloss you apply yourself
UNO is a true ceramic coating in its most approachable form. One layer bonds to your paint and gives it a full year of protection against road salt, UV, and everything a Canadian winter throws at it.
It was formulated to be the most forgiving coating on the market. Long working time, visible cues when it is ready to level, and a finish that makes people ask what shop did your car.
The prep
Prep decides the result
A coating locks in whatever is underneath it. Clean, bare paint means a strong bond and deep gloss. Skipped prep means locked-in contamination.
The routine is simple. Wash with Cleanse to strip old wax and sealant, hit the paint with Fuego to pull out embedded iron, then wipe everything down with Wipe so the surface is bare before you coat.
Most coating problems are prep problems. Do these three steps and UNO does the rest.
The application
One afternoon, start to finish
Load the applicator with 10 to 15 drops and work in straight, overlapping passes, one small section at a time. When the coating sweats or beads, it is telling you it is ready to level. First pass with a plush towel, then a final buff to catch any residue.
Keep the car dry for 12 to 24 hours while it cures, and skip washing for the first week or two. That is the whole job. Every bottle ships with instructions, and the full walkthrough lives on this page.

Questions people actually ask
How hard is it to apply, honestly?
If you can wax a car, you can apply UNO. The coating tells you when it is ready to level, and the working time is long enough that you never feel rushed. Work one small section at a time and follow the cues.
Do I need to polish first?
Only if your paint has swirls or marring you want gone, because the coating locks in whatever is under it. At minimum, do the decon wash and panel prep. Perfect paint is optional. Clean paint is not.
When can I wash the car again?
Keep it dry for the first 12 to 24 hours while the coating cures, then hold off on washing for 7 to 14 days. After that, wash normally. You will notice the difference the first time water hits the paint.
50mL or 100mL?
50mL handles a sedan with careful application. 100mL gives you headroom for an SUV or truck, a second vehicle, or a top up coat later in the year.
How is UNO different from STAK?
Both are real ceramic protection. STAK sprays on and wipes off in minutes, which makes it the fastest route to a protected car. UNO is a bottle coating with proper prep and cure, which buys you deeper gloss and a set it and forget it year.
Your paint, protected by you.
Order UNO, set aside an afternoon, and give your car a year of protection that road salt cannot touch.
