FAQs
What surfaces can I use this spray on?
It is best suited for highly polished black surfaces like car paint, glass, glossy black plastic, and metal. Always test on a small, hidden area first.
How do I remove the spray?
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth after shooting. It is designed to be easily removed.
Will this permanently change the finish of my product?
No, the spray is temporary and designed to be wiped off. However, always test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility with the specific surface material.
Can I use this on colored surfaces?
This spray is formulated specifically for black surfaces to reduce glare. Its effectiveness and appearance on other colors may vary, and testing is recommended.
How much spray should I use?
Use a light, even mist. Over-application can lead to streaks or residue. A little goes a long way.
Is it safe to use near electronics?
Use with caution and ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid spraying directly onto sensitive electronic components. Test on the outer casing only.
What is the volume of the spray can?
The can contains 400ml of anti-reflect spray.
Troubleshooting
Spray is not coming out
Ensure the nozzle is not blocked. Shake the can vigorously for at least 30 seconds and try spraying again. If the problem persists, the can may be empty.
Uneven coating or streaks
Shake the can more frequently during application. Use shorter, lighter passes and maintain a consistent distance from the surface. Apply in a well-ventilated area.
Residue left after wiping
Ensure you are using a soft, dry cloth and wiping gently. If residue is stubborn, slightly dampen the cloth with water (ensure the surface is water-safe) and wipe again, followed by a dry cloth.
Surface appears duller than expected
The spray creates a matte effect to reduce glare. For a less pronounced effect, apply a lighter mist or try a different lighting setup. Ensure the surface was clean and highly reflective before application.
