Paint Serum IV adds what Yum call hybrid bonding technology and a silicon carbide infused topcoat for repellency and resistance. The 4-year figure is the manufacturer's; real-world durability depends on preparation, application conditions and maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #0e7a42; border-left: 4px solid #22c55e; padding: 4px 0 4px 16px; margin-top: 24px;\"\u003eUse it for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCars you intend to keep, and owners who want longer-rated protection than Paint Serum II.

The paint must be washed, decontaminated (tar, iron, clay), polished if needed, and wiped down with Yum Panel Wipe so it is completely free of oils and residue. Yum Cars specify that the Serum coatings be applied in a controlled indoor environment — temperature, humidity and airflow all affect the result. Apply to one small section at a time with the applicator, level and buff with clean short-pile towels, and keep the car dry while it cures. Follow the instructions supplied with the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #0e7a42; border-left: 4px solid #22c55e; padding: 4px 0 4px 16px; margin-top: 24px;\"\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e50ml bottle. Yum Cars ask buyers to confirm they understand the requirements of ceramic coating installation and accept responsibility for its use. Coatings are semi-permanent: high spots generally need machine polishing to remove. Our Heidelberg West studio installs coatings every week if you would prefer it done for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #6b7280; margin-top: 24px;\"\u003eGenuine Yum Cars, supplied through the Australian distributor · Alpha Details Melbourne\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yum Cars","offers":[{"title":"50ml","offer_id":49074155028702,"sku":"YC-PAINTSERUMIV","price":307.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/0707\/8878\/files\/YumCras-paint-serum-IV-White-scaled.jpg?v=1789632063","url":"https:\/\/www.alphadetails.com.au\/products\/yum-cars-paint-serum-iv-ceramic-coating","provider":"Alpha Details","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
