Using this specific product

HAMR Coatings 9905 Speed Clear is listed here as the Fast automotive clear version for panel repair and spot repair. For working on a vehicle finish, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.

Before you start

  • Confirm the package says Fast automotive clear; related versions can use different timing.
  • For panel repair and spot repair, pay particular attention to panel temperature, shade, film thickness and weather.
  • At 25°C. It is 30 minutes after a 60°C bake.

How to check readiness

Check the coolest panel and avoid water until the stated exposure time. The sheet gives a pot life of 2 to 3 hours. Touch only a hidden edge first; a dry surface can conceal a soft layer underneath. Lift or move the item gently and avoid twisting the bond or pressing finished faces together.

Avoid this mistake

Dew, rain and washing are different exposures; follow the exact product instruction.
