Magic Shield system
Use Graphene Shampoo to wash, Iron Remover and the Clay Bar Kit to decontaminate, One Step Polish to correct light defects, and Prep Spray as the final wipe. Then choose a liquid coating for longer-term protection or Graphene Ceramic Spray for quick protection and maintenance.
Magic Shield is built as a focused system: compatible preparation, protection, and maintenance products with clear instructions for professional-looking results at home.
Many products can also be used on trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, boats, and RVs. Compatibility varies by product and surface, so check the product-specific guidance below and test an inconspicuous area when a finish is unfamiliar.
Preparation is the biggest factor. Work in shade on cool surfaces, wash and decontaminate thoroughly, correct defects when needed, remove residue with Prep Spray, and follow the product’s application and cure times.
Yes, when the products have compatible roles. A ceramic or graphene coating can be the base layer, while Graphene Ceramic Spray can be used later as a maintenance topper. Always respect the base coating’s cure time.
No. Coatings add a sacrificial layer that can help resist light wash marring and everyday exposure, but they cannot stop deep scratches, stone chips, impact damage, or failed clear coat.
Use a pH-neutral shampoo, soft wash media, and gentle drying. Avoid abrasive automatic brushes and harsh chemicals, and remove bird droppings or other aggressive contamination promptly.

Up to five-year protection
With correct preparation, application, curing, and maintenance, it can protect for up to five years. Climate, mileage, storage, and wash habits affect longevity.
Yes. Work indoors or in shade on cool, clean, dry paint with good lighting. Apply one small section at a time and follow the included instructions.
No coating makes paint scratch-proof. It adds a sacrificial layer that helps resist light wash marring and everyday exposure but cannot stop deep scratches, chips, or impact damage.
Wax and spray sealants generally need more frequent reapplication. This liquid coating bonds to correctly prepared surfaces for a longer-lasting, slick hydrophobic layer.
It can be used on properly prepared exterior paint, automotive glass, painted wheels, exterior trim, and compatible paint-protection film. Always test a small inconspicuous area first.
Use a pH-neutral shampoo, soft wash media, and gentle drying. Avoid abrasive automatic brushes and remove harsh contamination promptly.
One 50 mL bottle normally coats a full sedan or small SUV. Larger vehicles or multiple layers may require more product.
Wash, chemically decontaminate, clay if the surface remains rough, polish defects if needed, and finish with Prep Spray before coating.
Professional-series ceramic
It provides up to two years of protection under normal driving conditions. Proper maintenance, including periodic use of Graphene Ceramic Spray, can extend performance to three years or more.
It is suitable for confident DIY users as well as professionals. Correct surface preparation, thin application, good lighting, and careful leveling are essential.
It is intended for automotive paint, clear coat, headlights, compatible wheels, and exterior trim. Apply only to clean, cool, properly prepared surfaces and test unfamiliar finishes first.
It helps reduce light swirl marks and minor wash-induced marring. It does not make paint scratch-proof or protect against stone chips, deep scratches, or impact damage.
Polish corrects surface defects, while wax gives temporary protection. Ceramic coating bonds to properly prepared paint for longer-lasting UV, chemical, and hydrophobic performance.
Keep the vehicle dry for the first 24 hours. Full curing typically occurs within five to seven days; avoid washing during that period.
Yes. After the coating has cured, a compatible spray coating can be used periodically to refresh gloss, slickness, and water behavior.
Wait at least two hours; allowing up to four hours between layers is ideal. After the final layer, keep the vehicle dry for 24 hours.
10H is a product hardness designation. It describes the cured coating layer and is not a promise that the vehicle’s paint cannot scratch.
Apply a thin, even layer, work in small sections, and inspect from multiple angles under strong lighting. Level excess product within the timing stated in the instructions.
High-gloss self-leveling coating
Yes. Wash, decontaminate, correct defects when needed, and remove oils or residue before application. A coating can only bond and level as well as the surface beneath it.
No coating repairs deep scratches or failed clear coat. Correct visible defects before application; the coating can enhance gloss but it does not replace paint correction.
Diamond AI uses a self-leveling application designed to reduce the need for traditional buffing. Follow the product instructions, inspect the finish within 15 minutes, and do not touch the surface while it cures.
Apply indoors or in a shaded area, keep the surface untouched during the initial cure, and avoid rain or washing for seven days.
No. Its hard protective layer helps with everyday surface resistance, UV exposure, and maintenance, but it cannot prevent deep scratches, chips, or impact damage.
Fast protection and maintenance
It is designed for fast spray-and-buff protection and maintenance. A full liquid coating uses more involved preparation and curing for buyers seeking longer-term protection.
Yes. On a clean, compatible coating, it can be used as a maintenance topper to refresh slickness, gloss, and water behavior. Test a small area first.
You can apply a light mist to a small panel, but spraying onto a microfiber towel gives more control near glass, trim, and panel edges.
Streaks usually mean too much product, a hot panel, or a saturated towel. Work smaller, use less product, and finish with a clean, dry microfiber.
Choose 9 oz for a first application or one personal vehicle. Choose 16 oz for larger vehicles, repeat maintenance, or multiple cars.
With correct preparation and care, the spray coating is designed to provide 12 months or more of protection. Exposure and wash habits affect durability.
It can be used on compatible exterior paint, glass, wheels, and trim. Always clean the surface first and test unfamiliar materials in an inconspicuous area.
Interior leather protection
A thin, properly leveled coat is designed to leave a clean factory-look finish. Heavy application or incomplete buffing can leave excess product, so work in small sections and test first.
Yes, with care. Apply product to the applicator rather than directly into perforations, and use a very thin layer so liquid does not collect in the holes.
No. Cleaning can improve the appearance of built-up grime, and coating can help reduce future exposure, but damaged leather requires repair or refinishing.
Protection can last up to five years depending on preparation, leather condition, use, climate, friction, and maintenance. High-touch areas may require earlier reapplication.
Yes, after a hidden-area test. New leather should still be cleaned and fully dried so manufacturing residue or dressings do not interfere with bonding.
Follow the cure guidance on the product label. Keep the surface dry and avoid heavy use during the initial cure period.
Use a gentle leather-safe cleaner and a soft towel. Avoid abrasive brushes, strong solvents, and oily dressings that can interfere with the coating’s finish.
The final wipe before protection
No. Wash and decontaminate first. Prep Spray is the final wipe that removes remaining oils, wax residue, and light surface film before protection.
Use it after paint correction or decontamination and immediately before applying a ceramic coating, graphene coating, sealant, or wax.
It is designed for exterior paint, glass, chrome, and wheels. Always work on a cool surface and test first when a material or finish is unfamiliar.
No. Work one small section at a time and wipe before the product dries. This gives better control and helps prevent streaking.
No. Use it in the shade on cool, dry panels and follow the instructions and safety warnings on the label.
No. Iron Remover dissolves ferrous contamination; Prep Spray removes oils, wax, silicone, fingerprints, and polishing residue during the final preparation step.
Chemical decontamination
Yes, on cool, compatible wheel finishes. Follow the label, agitate stubborn areas with a suitable brush when needed, rinse thoroughly, and never allow the product to dry.
It is pH-balanced for compatible exterior paint as well as wheels, glass, plastic, and chrome. Work in shade on a cool surface and test an unfamiliar finish first.
The colour change shows the formula reacting with ferrous contamination such as brake dust, rail dust, and embedded iron particles.
No. Rinse it thoroughly before it dries. Work one area at a time and avoid hot panels or direct sunlight.
Only clay areas that still feel rough after chemical decontamination. Using Iron Remover first reduces the contamination the clay must pick up.
Mechanical decontamination
After washing, place your hand inside a clean plastic bag and gently feel the paint. A gritty or rough texture indicates bonded contamination may still be present.
Incorrect use can cause marring. Work on a washed, cool panel with generous lubricant, light pressure, and a clean clay face. Test first, especially on soft or dark paint.
Only when bonded contamination is present. Many vehicles need it seasonally or before polishing and coating, depending on storage, climate, and driving conditions.
Clay can be used on suitable exterior glass and coated wheel surfaces with proper lubrication. Use separate clay for dirtier areas and test unfamiliar finishes first.
Inspect the finish for marring. Polish if needed, then use Prep Spray for the final surface wipe before applying wax, sealant, or coating.
Discard it. Clay can pick up grit from the ground that may scratch the next panel.
Light correction and gloss
It targets light swirl marks, haze, oxidation, and fine surface scratches while restoring gloss. Deep scratches, chips, or clear-coat failure may need multi-stage correction or repair.
It can be applied by hand or machine. Machine polishing is generally faster and can produce a more even correction and glossier finish when used correctly.
First remove all polish oils and residue with Prep Spray, then inspect the paint under good lighting before applying a ceramic or graphene coating.
No. Work on cool, clean paint in a shaded area. Heat shortens working time and makes residue harder to remove evenly.
It can leave short-term protection and gloss, but use a ceramic or graphene coating afterward when long-term durability is the goal.
Coating-safe routine washing
The pH-neutral formula is designed for coating-safe maintenance. Follow the dilution and washing directions on the label.
Yes. It works in a foam cannon or a traditional wash bucket. Adjust the dilution to your equipment and the level of soil.
No. It is a maintenance shampoo that supports gloss and hydrophobic performance; it does not replace a bonded ceramic coating.
Yes. It can be used on clear-coated paint, waxes, sealants, glass, wheels, and exterior trim.
Use a dedicated tar remover or Iron Remover for heavy bonded contamination, then wash the vehicle normally.
Most daily drivers benefit from washing every one to three weeks. Adjust for weather, mileage, storage, and contamination.
Use a clean microfiber mitt, a two-bucket method, plenty of lubrication, and separate clean drying towels. Wash from the cleanest upper panels toward the dirtier lower areas.

The 10-second bag test
After washing and drying, place your hand inside a clean plastic bag and lightly glide it over the paint. The bag amplifies tiny bumps, revealing bonded contamination a normal wash leaves behind.


Match the grade to the job
The safest approach is the least aggressive grade that removes the contamination. Test a small, inconspicuous area first, especially on soft or dark paint.

Controlled claying
Clay should glide, not grab. Work in the shade on cool, freshly washed paint and keep the panel generously wet with a compatible clay lubricant.
Choose your configuration
Both options include light, medium and heavy clay grades. Choose the complete kit when you also need dedicated lubrication and a microfiber towel.
Build a better foundation
Claying is the mechanical step. For best results, remove loose dirt and chemical contamination first, then finish with the protection of your choice.
Remove loose dirt and road film.
Dissolve embedded ferrous particles.
Lift remaining bonded contamination.
Polish if needed, then clean the surface.
Apply wax, sealant or coating.
What washing leaves behind
A normal wash handles loose soil. Clay targets the bonded residue that remains attached to the surface, helping restore a cleaner, smoother foundation.


Protect the finish while you work
The clay traps the contamination it removes. Inspect it often, fold the dirty face inward and keep unused clay sealed so every pass starts as clean as possible.
Safety first
Choose the complete kit if you need both clay and a dedicated lubricant. Choose the Triple Clay Bar Pack when you already have a compatible clay lubricant.
Yes, poor technique or an aggressive grade can leave light marring. Start with the lightest grade that works, use generous lubrication, test first and apply only light pressure.
Clay when clean paint still feels rough or before polishing and protection. It is a decontamination step, not something required at every wash.
Inspect the paint under good light. Polish if needed, wipe the surface clean, then apply your chosen wax, sealant or ceramic/graphene protection.
Choose your kit above, then add it to the cart.
Graphene Shampoo combines high-lubricity foam with a pH-neutral formula designed for routine washing. It lifts road film while helping coated, waxed, and clear-coated surfaces retain gloss and hydrophobic behaviour.

Three practical benefits for weekly maintenance and pre-coating preparation.

A balanced formula cleans without aggressively stripping waxes, sealants, or ceramic protection.

Graphene and SiO₂ help the surface feel slicker and look freshly detailed after rinsing and drying.

Dense foam, easy rinsing, and a clean finish reduce the need for extra gloss products after every wash.

Use on a cool surface out of direct sunlight. Never allow shampoo to dry on the vehicle.

On properly maintained paint, the wash removes traffic film and residue that mute reflections. The result is a cleaner, slicker surface with more visible colour depth.
The pH-neutral formula is designed for coating-safe maintenance. Follow the dilution and washing directions on the label.
Yes. It works in a foam cannon or a traditional wash bucket. Adjust the dilution to your equipment and the level of soil.
No. It is a maintenance shampoo that supports gloss and hydrophobic performance; it does not replace a bonded ceramic coating.
Yes. It can be used on clear-coated paint, waxes, sealants, glass, wheels, and exterior trim.
Use a dedicated tar remover or iron remover for heavy bonded contamination, then wash the vehicle normally.

Washing removes dirt. Prep Spray targets the invisible layer left behind—polishing oils, wax residue, fingerprints, and surface film that can interfere with ceramic or graphene coating adhesion.

A simple, controlled wipe-down creates the clean foundation your coating needs.



Clears lubricants and fillers left after paint correction so the true finish is exposed.
Removes lingering protection that can prevent a new coating from meeting the paint evenly.
Lifts light handling residue and oily film before the coating applicator touches the panel.

Work in the shade on a cool, dry surface. Use clean towels and change sides often.
Each step has a different job. Prep Spray is the final cleaning stage immediately before protection.

Normal washing removes loose dirt, but bonded contamination can remain attached to paint and glass. A properly lubricated clay bar lifts that embedded grit so the surface feels smoother before polishing, sealing, or coating.

Good clay work is controlled and gentle—never dry, rushed, or forced.



Lift embedded grit and airborne contamination that settles into the surface over time.
Remove small bonded particles and stubborn surface film after the vehicle has been washed.
Address rough spots that remain after chemical decontamination and contact washing.

Work in the shade on cool, freshly washed paint. Keep the surface generously lubricated.
Always test an inconspicuous area first. Softer paint may require polishing after any mechanical decontamination.
For well-maintained finishes, soft paint, and light bonded contamination.
For routine decontamination when a light grade does not fully smooth the panel.
For stubborn contamination. Test carefully and expect that follow-up polishing may be appropriate.
Chemical and mechanical decontamination do different jobs. Use only the steps your vehicle needs.
Dissolve metallic fallout before using mechanical clay treatment.
Shop Iron Remover →Lift the bonded contamination still attached to paint or glass.
Remove oils and residue before applying your chosen protection.
Shop Prep Spray →Apply wax, sealant, or a bonded graphene ceramic coating.
Shop Graphene Coating →Clay must glide over the surface on a film of compatible lubricant. Stop if it drags, keep the working face clean, and discard any clay that falls onto the ground.

Customers notice the difference before they even step back to admire the shine: bonded grit is gone and the surface feels ready for polishing or protection.
“This is the most satisfying step in detailing. Seeing the white clay turn brown lets you know it’s working. My car shines so much brighter now because the surface is truly clean.”
“I have a black BMW 5 Series, so I’m terrified of scratches. I used the Yellow bar with GlideTech spray. Zero marring—it lifted the dirt and left the paint perfect.”
“The spray nozzle was a little hard to twist open, but once it started working, it misted fine. The clay bars are excellent—very pliable once you knead them a bit.”
