How you can protect your paintjob forever

The Last Coat’s new TLC2 formula takes protection against the elements to a whole new level

  • Once you notice that first blemish on the body work – a little crack here, a few flakes of rust there – you can’t un-see it. If you’re obsessive about your pride and joy being as pristine as possible, you constantly feel the need to give it a little TLC, or TLC 2 to be precise. This magical new formula by The Last Coat is the most versatile and durable “all in one” DIY coating available today.

    All this ensures an extremely hydrophobic surface for your car, thanks to lowered surface tension. Beads of water will just roll straight off, and won’t leave any pesky baked-in water spots either. That’s no streaking, and no dusty residue either. Just full protection from water, dirt, salt and UV rays, all with a smooth, glass-like feel on first application. If you want to see it in action, take a look above at the exhaustive “Torture Test” that the TLC team put it through.

  • And it’s all because of the Quantum Mesh formula. The clever chemists over at The Last Coat have taken the best properties of true ceramic coating products, along with the ease of use and versatility of the original formula, and combined them into an unbeatable microemulsion formula. That means the “mesh knitting” is so tight, that once bonded and fully cured, it makes it almost impossible for chemicals and road debris to get in.

  • You might be thinking “this brainy science stuff is all very well, but I bet it’s a nightmare to apply”. Fear not, there’ll be no endless Sunday mornings freezing half to death on your driveway. TLC 2 can be applied and layered in minutes, and it only takes seven minutes to bond and set. Plus, it only takes around 50-60ml for full coverage of an average-sized car.

  • And about that versatility, TLC 2 carries a mild positive electrical charge, so it’ll adhere to all types of surfaces, including bare metal. That means you can protect every single part of the car, inside and out. We’re talking tyres, rims, dash, leather, windscreen, matte surfaces, glass, chrome and of course bodywork. It can even be applied to household surfaces as well. It goes on easy, wipes off even easier, and the coating will last up to six months.
