4. How do I prepare the surface?

5. How do I apply the spray?

6. Can it be over-painted?
Yes. Once dry, JENOLITE Anti-Stonechip Spray can be over-painted with most standard automotive topcoats for a seamless finish.
7. Is it flexible or rigid once applied?
The formula is flexible, which prevents cracking or peeling, even on areas that expand or contract slightly with temperature changes.
8. Can it be used on the underbody?
Yes, it is ideal for underbody protection, providing rust and corrosion resistance for sills, chassis, and wheel arches.
9. How long does it take to dry?
Drying time depends on temperature and humidity. Typically, it is touch dry within 20–30 minutes and fully cured in 24 hours.
10. How should I store the aerosol?
