Undrdog Pro FAQ
What is Undrdog Pro good for?
It will reduce your maintenance by at least 50% and protect your vehicle from incidents that occur through day to day driving like bird droppings, bug accumulation, acid rain and other things of that nature. A coating adds a layer of protection between your car and the elements.
Is Undrdog Pro like a ceramic coating?
Yes, it's similar: it beads water, it is glossy and it offers protection from the elements. However, as we listen to the market and adapt to fix the most critical pain points, we make it way easier to install, which in turn makes it more affordable for both the installer and the customer.
How difficult is it to apply Undrdog Pro?
Undrdog Pro is one of the easiest, if not the easiest, coating to apply on the market today. With a slow flash time and weather tolerant composition, it makes applying this single layer coating a breeze.
How long does it take for coating to be applied?
Usually the turnaround time is about 2.5 to 3 hours, but it could take as long as 4 hours, depending on how big your vehicle is and what your demands are.
Can Undrdog Pro be applied to the interior?
Yes it can. Undrdog Pro protects well on all surfaces including leather, plastics, metal and glass. However, it is not advised to use it on fabrics.
What happens if it rains immediately after I coat my vehicle?
Things happen - if it rains on your vehicle within 24 hours of having it coated, you should dry your car with soft microfibers as soon as it stops. Be conscious of damages. 95% of the time no damages occur, but in the event they do, you can apply another layer. The best thing to do of course is keep it out of the rain while your coating dries.
How often do I have to reapply this coating?
This is totally dependent on the wear and tear that your vehicle experiences and how well you take care of it. Most users see multiple years before needing to reapply, but again it is completely dependent on aftercare.
How long will my car be protected?
The coating will last for multiple years, depending on how you take care of the vehicle. The best way to do that is to bucket wash it once a week. If you can’t bucket wash it, use a touchless drive-through car wash, and if neither of those two are an option for you, then a contact drive-through car wash is also ok, just expect a reduction in the coating’s longevity.
Is there a specific maintenance that I need to keep doing or is it just set-it-and-forget-it?
It can definitely be a set-it-and-forget it, however to get the maximum performance and longevity, the following is recommended:
- Regular car washes with our Soap and a soft wash mitt.
- Regular usage of our Quick Detail, a product that can add some slickness and hydrophobicity for those looking to get the most out of their coating.
What happens if I no longer want the coating on my vehicle?
You are stuck with it forever! Joking aside, a quick polish will remove the coating. From there you can reapply the coating or carry on with raw, boring paint.
Do I need to be trained and certified to apply this coating?
No, of course not! That's another perk of Undrdog, we listened to the market and made an easy to apply and highly effective single layer coating that just about anyone can do. One of many ways we are saving you money and time.
Will Undrdog Pro Stop Oxidation On Aluminum?
No, Undrdog Pro will not stop oxidation on aluminum. However, when applied and maintained properly, it can slow down the process. Since aluminum oxidizes from the inside out, the coating acts as a barrier, but the oxidation process can only be slowed down, not completely halted.
Can I apply Undrdog Pro to vinyl?
Yes, absolutely, you can! Undrdog pro absorbs into the vinyl and seals it from stains, and sun fade. The coating will also make cleaning and drying a breeze.
Can I apply Undrdog Pro to matte or satin finishes?
Yes you can! A common question we get asked is will it make the finish glossy. The simple answer is no, it will enrich the matte or satin finish but it will not make it glossy. It looks very nice:
Can I apply wrap or stickers over the coating?
Typically not, because the coating has anti-stick properties, and it's typical for wraps or stickers to delaminate if applied over the coating. We recommend getting your wrap or stickers applied prior to applying Undrdog Pro.
Do I really need to wear gloves and proper safety gear?
Yes, when working with any chemical including ours you should wear gloves and respiratory wear. No two bodies are alike and it is better to be safe than sorry.
