Frequently asked questions about Revivify
Everything vehicle owners, fleet managers, and professionals need to know about silicon-based self-healing surface protection.
Revivify protects surfaces across four major industries: automotive (cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, RVs), marine (boats, yachts, jet skis), aviation (private and commercial aircraft), and industrial (heavy equipment, fleet vehicles, commercial assets). The same flexible silicon technology adapts to the unique demands of each environment.
Revivify coatings are applied exclusively by Certified Applicators and Elite Dealers — trained, background-checked professionals hand-selected by Revivify's president. Each applicator follows Revivify's precise application protocol including proper surface preparation, controlled application technique, and IR lamp curing for optimal bond strength. This ensures consistent, high-quality results on every vehicle.
Revivify Coatings of America is headquartered in Costa Mesa, California. The US operation launched in 2019 under the leadership of Mel Craig, who brings over 48 years of car care industry experience. The underlying silicon coating technology originated with IDEE Technology Corp in Taiwan around 2010, with hand-applied coating versions launching in 2014 and Revivify Global expanding internationally in 2018.
Revivify is a silicon-based vehicle protection technology — not a ceramic coating. While ceramics use silica or titanium dioxide and create a hard, brittle shell that cracks under impact, Revivify's flexible silicon chemistry absorbs impact and heals itself when exposed to heat. This fundamental difference means longer-lasting protection that adapts to your vehicle rather than fighting against it.

PCD works on all hard surfaces that will receive a Revivify coating — automotive paint, glass, plastics, metal, powder coating, vinyl, and PPF. It's designed to be safe on all surfaces in the pre-coating preparation workflow. PCD is used across all industries served by Revivify: automotive, marine, aviation, and industrial applications. Every Revivify coating application should begin with PCD surface preparation.
PCD is a professional-grade product designed for use by Certified Applicators and Elite Dealers as part of Revivify's standardized coating application process. It's available through the applicator portal (store.teamrevivify.com). If you're a professional interested in using PCD, submit an application to become a Certified Applicator to gain access to Revivify's full product line.
PCD is a water-based spray application. After paint correction is complete, spray PCD directly onto the surface and wipe clean with a fresh microfiber towel. Work one panel at a time to ensure complete coverage. The product evaporates after application — there's no cure time required. Once the surface is wiped clean and dry, it's ready for immediate coating application.
While isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is commonly used for surface prep in the detailing industry, PCD is purpose-built for Revivify coatings and outperforms IPA in several ways. PCD is specifically formulated to remove the types of residues that interfere with silicon-based coating adhesion — including polishing compound residues, surface oils, and contaminants that IPA may leave behind or incompletely remove. Using PCD ensures the coating bonds at maximum strength.
PCD (Pre-Coating Decontaminant) is Revivify's professional-grade surface preparation solution. It's the critical first step in every Revivify coating application. After paint correction, surfaces retain invisible residues from polishing compounds, oils, and other contaminants that create a barrier between the coating and the surface. PCD eliminates these contaminants completely, ensuring maximum coating adhesion and long-term performance.
CMA Spray is specifically formulated to complement Revivify's silicon-based coating technology for optimal results. While it can be used on any clean paint surface as a general spray protectant, its performance is maximized when used on surfaces coated with Revivify products. For non-Revivify coated vehicles, it will still provide temporary hydrophobic protection and gloss enhancement.
CMA Spray is available for both retail customers and professionals. It's designed for easy DIY application — no special training, equipment, or skills required. Simply wash and dry your vehicle, spray CMA onto one panel at a time, and wipe with a clean microfiber towel. It's specifically formulated to be user-friendly for vehicle owners maintaining their Revivify coating at home.
CMA Spray (Coating Maintenance Application) is Revivify's dedicated coating maintenance product. It refreshes the hydrophobic water-beading performance and restores the gloss depth of your existing Revivify coating with a simple spray-and-wipe application. Each application provides 3–9 months of refreshed protection. It's the easiest way to keep your Revivify coating performing at its best between professional services.
No. Textile G-Pro creates an invisible protective barrier that maintains the fabric's original texture, color, and breathability. Unlike some fabric protectors that leave surfaces feeling stiff or plasticky, Textile G-Pro's water-based formula preserves the natural feel of the material while adding liquid repellency and UV protection underneath.
Yes. Textile G-Pro works on leather, suede, and other natural materials in addition to synthetic fabrics. It provides liquid repellency and UV protection without altering the look or feel of the leather. This makes it a versatile interior protection solution for vehicles with mixed material interiors where some surfaces are leather and others are fabric or carpet.
Textile G-Pro is applied as a water-based spray directly onto clean textile surfaces. The surface should be thoroughly cleaned and dry before application. Spray evenly across the fabric, allow to air dry, and the protective barrier forms as the product cures. No heat curing or special equipment is required. It can be applied by both professionals and retail customers.
Textile G-Pro creates a hydrophobic barrier on fabric fibers that causes liquids to bead up on the surface instead of absorbing into the material. When coffee, juice, water, or other common spills contact a treated surface, they sit on top giving you time to wipe them away before any staining occurs. The treatment also provides UV protection to prevent fading and fabric degradation over time.
Textile G-Pro protects all interior fabric surfaces including upholstery, carpet, cloth seats, leather, suede, nylon, and polyester. It creates an invisible barrier that repels liquids before they soak in and stain, while maintaining the fabric's natural breathability and texture. It's designed for automotive, marine, and aviation interiors.
Xtreme Seal G-Pro works on all exterior hard surfaces: automotive paint, glass, plastics, metal, powder coating, vinyl wraps, and paint protection film (PPF). It's versatile enough for use across automotive, marine, aviation, and industrial applications. The spray-on, wipe-off formula makes it easy to apply to any accessible hard surface that needs hydrophobic protection and gloss enhancement.
Xtreme Seal G-Pro uses a simple spray-on, wipe-off application method. Wash and dry your vehicle, spray the product onto one panel at a time, and immediately wipe with a clean microfiber towel until the surface is clear and streak-free. No special equipment, heat curing, or professional training required. It works on paint, glass, plastics, metal, powder coating, vinyl, and PPF surfaces.
While Xtreme Seal G-Pro is optimized to work on top of existing Revivify coatings, it can also be used as a standalone spray sealant on uncoated surfaces. It will provide 3–6 months of hydrophobic protection, gloss enhancement, and surface slickness on any clean paint surface. For best results on uncoated vehicles, ensure the surface is thoroughly washed and decontaminated before application.
Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice — one of the strongest and most conductive materials known. In Xtreme Seal G-Pro, graphene enhances the spray sealant's durability, slickness, and protective properties beyond what a standard sealant can deliver. The graphene infusion creates a more resilient protective layer that better resists contaminants, water spotting, and environmental damage.
Xtreme Seal G-Pro provides 3–6 months of enhanced protection per application. As a graphene-infused spray sealant, it's designed as a maintenance product to boost and extend the life of your existing Revivify coating between professional services — not as a standalone long-term coating. Regular reapplication keeps your coating performing at peak hydrophobic and gloss levels.
SH Mobile Pro is excellent for fleet applications. Its 1-day cure time minimizes vehicle downtime, the layerable formula lets you customize protection levels by budget, and outdoor application capability means you can coat vehicles on-site without transporting them to a shop. Many fleet operators choose SH Mobile Pro for delivery vans, service vehicles, and company cars that need reliable protection with minimal operational disruption.
SH Mobile Pro has the fastest cure time in Revivify's professional coating lineup. Top cure occurs within 1 hour, and full cure completes in just 1 day — compared to 2–4 days for SH Ultra Pro and CarbonX. This means vehicles can be returned to owners the same day, making it ideal for mobile detailing operations and fleet services where turnaround speed matters.
SH Mobile Pro can be layered up to 3 coats. Each layer adds 5–10 microns of protection and extends the coating's durability. A single coat provides solid baseline protection for about 1 year. Two coats extend that to approximately 2 years. Three coats deliver the maximum 3-year protection with enhanced self-healing and hydrophobic performance.
Yes — that's exactly what it's designed for. SH Mobile Pro was formulated for real-world outdoor application conditions, making it the ideal product for mobile detailers who operate at the customer's location rather than a fixed shop. The application temperature should be between 60°F and 85°F for optimal results.
SH Mobile Pro is engineered specifically for mobile detailers and outdoor application. Its key differentiator is the fastest cure time in Revivify's lineup — just 1 day for full cure versus 2–4 days for SH Ultra Pro. It's also layerable up to 3 coats, allowing applicators to build protection from 1–3 years depending on the customer's needs. SH Ultra Pro delivers longer baseline protection (3–5 years) but requires a controlled environment.
SH Ultra Pro is applied by Revivify Certified Applicators — trained, background-checked professionals who follow Revivify's precise application protocol. Certified Applicators use proper surface preparation with PCD, controlled application technique, and IR lamp curing for optimal bond strength. Find a Certified Applicator near you to schedule your SH Ultra Pro application.
Yes. SH Ultra Pro works on all hard surfaces including automotive paint, glass, plastics, metal, powder coating, vinyl wraps, PPF, and leather. It protects daily drivers, luxury vehicles, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and RVs. It also works across marine, aviation, and industrial applications. Contact a Certified Applicator to discuss your specific vehicle.
SH Ultra Pro reaches top cure within 1 hour of application. Full cure — where complete hydrophobic and self-healing properties activate — takes 2–4 days (72 hours). Applicators use IR lamp curing to achieve 50–60% cure at 175°F in 10–15 minutes per panel, which significantly speeds up the process. During the full cure period, avoid water exposure and harsh chemicals.
SH Ultra Pro is the coating that established Revivify's reputation. It features double the solid content of standard coatings (5–10 microns), delivers full heat-activated self-healing, 100% UV protection (SGS certified), and 5x greater corrosion resistance than ceramic coatings. It offers the best balance of protection, gloss depth, and value in Revivify's lineup.
SH Ultra Pro delivers 3–5 years of verified protection. As Revivify's flagship product, it provides the ideal balance of long-term durability and full self-healing capability. With regular maintenance using CMA Spray every 3–9 months, many owners experience performance beyond the 5-year mark.
CarbonX is exclusively available through Revivify Elite Dealers — a select group of applicators personally vetted by Revivify's president. Elite Dealer status requires advanced certification, dedicated facility standards, and a proven track record of excellence. Consumers cannot purchase CarbonX directly — find an Elite Dealer near you to schedule your application.
CarbonX is applied exclusively by Revivify Elite Dealers using a professional hand-application process. The surface is first decontaminated with PCD, then paint-corrected as needed. The CarbonX formula is applied in controlled layers at 10 microns each, with IR lamp curing used to accelerate the bonding process (50–60% cure at 175°F in 10–15 minutes per panel). Full cure completes within 24 hours under 30°C.
Yes. CarbonX protects surfaces across automotive, marine, aviation, and industrial applications. Its extreme temperature resistance (up to 450°C), UV protection, and corrosion resistance make it particularly well-suited for marine environments exposed to salt water and aviation surfaces facing extreme altitude conditions. Contact an Elite Dealer to discuss application for your specific vessel or aircraft.
CarbonX uses a proprietary carbon-based formula that delivers protection rivaling paint protection film (PPF) at just 10 microns per layer. It heals scratches up to 3H hardness — significantly more than other coatings. It withstands temperatures up to 450°C (842°F) and can be layered up to 30 microns total. CarbonX is exclusively available through Elite Dealers, ensuring the highest application standards.
CarbonX delivers 7+ years of verified protection. The carbon-infused silicon formula creates an exceptionally durable coating that maintains its self-healing, hydrophobic, and UV-resistant properties for the full duration. Real-world performance can extend beyond 7 years with proper maintenance using Revivify's CMA Spray and Xtreme Seal G-Pro products.
Revivify offers three support products: CMA Spray is a dedicated coating maintenance spray that refreshes hydrophobic performance and gloss for 3–9 months per application.

Ceramic coatings create a hard, brittle layer that rates high on the hardness scale but cracks and fails under real-world impact. Revivify's silicon-based formula flexes and absorbs impact instead of cracking. It also self-heals, offers 100% UV protection (SGS certified), provides 5x greater corrosion resistance than ceramics, and withstands temperature extremes up to 450°C with CarbonX. Ceramics cannot self-heal and typically last 1–3 years versus Revivify's 3–7+ years.
No. The self-healing property is inherent to the silicon molecular structure — it doesn't deplete or wear out with use. As long as the coating remains on the surface, it retains its ability to heal. CarbonX maintains self-healing capability for 7+ years, SH Ultra Pro for 3–5 years, and SH Mobile Pro for 1–3 years with proper maintenance.
The self-healing capability varies by product. CarbonX (Elite tier) can heal scratches up to 3H hardness — approaching the protection level of paint protection film (PPF). SH Ultra Pro and SH Mobile Pro provide full self-healing for light scratches, swirl marks, and wash marring. The coating heals surface-level damage, not deep scratches that penetrate through to the clear coat or paint.
Revivify's self-healing works through flexible silicon chemistry. When the coating surface sustains light scratches or swirl marks, the molecular structure retains memory of its original form. When heat is applied — from sunlight, hot water, a heat gun, or even friction — the silicon polymers relax and flow back into position, closing the damage. This process can repeat unlimited times throughout the coating's lifespan.

Apply CMA Spray every 3–9 months depending on your driving conditions and environment. Vehicles exposed to harsh conditions — heavy sun, salt air, frequent rain, or road grime — benefit from more frequent application (every 3–4 months). Garage-kept vehicles in mild climates can go longer between applications (6–9 months). You'll know it's time when water beading starts to diminish.
Cure times vary by product. SH Mobile Pro cures fastest at 1 day. SH Ultra Pro and CarbonX reach full cure in 2–4 days (72 hours for complete hydrophobic and self-healing properties). Top cure happens within 1 hour of application for all products. Your applicator may use IR lamp curing to accelerate the process — achieving 50–60% cure at 175°F in just 10–15 minutes per panel. During the cure period, avoid water exposure, harsh chemicals, and parking under trees.
Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, acidic wheel cleaners that contact coated surfaces, abrasive polishing compounds (which remove the coating), and automatic car washes with stiff bristle brushes. Do not use traditional wax or sealant products on top of Revivify — they can interfere with the self-healing and hydrophobic properties. Stick to pH-neutral soap and Revivify's own maintenance products for best results.
Wash regularly with pH-neutral car soap — avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive compounds, and automatic car washes with stiff brushes. For optimal performance, use Revivify's CMA Spray every 3–9 months to refresh hydrophobic properties and gloss depth. Xtreme Seal G-Pro provides an additional graphene-infused protection boost between professional maintenance visits. Detailed care instructions are provided with every application.

When a Revivify coating is professionally applied, the application is reported to CARFAX and appears on the vehicle's history report. This creates a documented record of the coating protection that follows the vehicle through ownership changes. Potential buyers can see the coating was professionally applied and verify its warranty status, adding measurable value to your vehicle at resale.
Existing active warranties cover defects in the coating application for the full stated duration of the product (7+ years for CarbonX, 3–5 years for SH Ultra Pro, 1–3 years for SH Mobile Pro). This includes peeling, flaking, and loss of hydrophobic properties when the coating has been properly maintained. The warranty does not cover damage from accidents, improper washing techniques, or failure to follow maintenance guidelines.
For existing active warranties — yes, the warranty transfers to subsequent owners of the vehicle. This transferability adds tangible resale value because the next owner inherits the remaining coating protection. The warranty transfer and coating status are reported on CARFAX, providing documented proof of protection to potential buyers.
Revivify is currently working on a new warranty program, expected to relaunch in spring 2026. All existing warranties that have already been issued remain fully active and honored. When the new warranty program launches, it will continue Revivify's commitment to providing industry-leading protection guarantees for coating customers.

Revivify's silicon-based chemistry is inherently flexible. When the coating surface is scratched, applying heat — from sunlight, a heat gun, or even engine warmth — causes the silicon molecules to relax and flow back together, closing micro-scratches and restoring the surface. Unlike rigid ceramic coatings that chip and crack, Revivify's flexible matrix absorbs impact and rebounds.
Ceramic coatings are silica-based — essentially liquid glass. They're hard but brittle, meaning they chip, crack, and fail under impact or thermal stress. Revivify's silicon-based formula is fundamentally different: flexible, self-healing, and resilient. It absorbs energy instead of shattering, which is why it outlasts ceramic coatings in real-world conditions.
Revivify is currently restructuring its warranty program to deliver even better coverage for customers. All existing warranty policies remain fully active and supported. The new program is expected to launch in 2026 with enhanced coverage options. Contact your certified applicator or our support team for the latest details on warranty availability.
It depends on the product. SH Mobile Pro cures in just one day, making it ideal for busy schedules and fleet operations. SH Ultra Pro takes three to five days for full hardness, while CarbonX requires seven days but delivers maximum long-term protection. Your certified applicator will recommend the right product based on your needs and timeline.
Revivify coatings are professional-grade products designed for application by certified installers. Proper surface preparation using Revivify's PCD (Paint Correction and Decontamination) process is critical to achieving maximum performance and longevity.
