Description
Inspired by Nature
In nature, you may have heard of the Lotus Effect. The lotus effect refers to self-cleaning properties that are a result of ultra-hydrophobicity as exhibited by the leaves of Nelumbo, the lotus flower. Dirt particles are picked up by water droplets due to the micro and nanoscopic architecture on the surface, which minimizes the droplet’s adhesion to that surface. Sound familiar?
Feynlab was inspired by this amazing show put on by nature and used this inspiration to recreate these properties in a nano ceramic coating that can produce similar hydrophobics on most any surface it is applied to.
When applied to the paint of a vehicle, these hydrophobics perform just as they do in nature, with the water beads encapsulating dirt, helping to remove it as it rolls off the surface. This, in turn, keeps that surface cleaner for longer, with its “self-cleaning” effect, and makes maintenance easier.
Hydrophobic
The Original Ceramic by Feynlab has one of the highest water contact angles in the industry, making it super-hydrophobic, which helps to protect your car from the contaminants commonly found in water. This property provides your car paint with a permanent layer of protection by forming a chemical bond with it, which causes it to repel not only water, but other elements such as oils, fallout, dirt, mud, road grime, and other build-ups from daily use of the vehicle. This makes your car surface much easier to clean and maintain, as these elements are not able to bond to the surface through the coating. You also get that super cool water beading effect, which is a plus!
Self Cleaning
If washing your vehicle every time it gets nasty dirt and grime sticking to the surface hurts your arms and wears you out, then THE ORIGINAL CERAMIC is a product that will help you out! It will save you time, arm and back pain, AND money! This DIY ceramic coating has such a high-water contact angle that spraying the surface with water will cause the dirt to be encapsulated and rolled off the surface! (If maintained properly and as instructed) Did we mention the satisfaction you get from watching the dirt just roll off the paint?

Application Instructions
- Properly Prep vehicle by washing with Feynlab Pure Wash or Feynlab Pure Rinseless
- Clay and Paint Correct surface if necessary
- When vehicle is ready to coat, make sure it is located in a well-lit, well-ventilated area that is between 50°F – 85°F (10°C – 30°C).
- BEFORE COATING – Shake the bottle VIGOROUSLY for one minute. Then, apply enough THE ORIGINAL CERAMIC to a microfiber sponge applicator to fully cover a single panel such as a door or half a hood.
- Begin by making a “+” (plus) sign in the middle of the panel and follow that with a picture frame around the area you are coating. Next, fill in the remaining panel in straight lines from left to right and then cross-hatch up and down, making sure to create a level layer with even coverage.
Application Instructions (cont.)
- Allow the coating to sit on the panel until about 75% dry, or until you see “rainbows”, similar to an oil sheen on water. This is a good indicator you are ready to move on to the next step.
- Once you are ready to move to the next step, use a clean microfiber towel (edgeless is recommended) and remove the remaining 25% of the unevaporated coating. Use a second clean microfiber towel to wipe clear if needed. You will begin to feel the towel glide easier and easier across the surface as the product is completely removed.
- Repeat the above process panel by panel (or multiple panels if your conditions allow) until the entire vehicle is coated.
- One layer of THE ORIGINAL CERAMIC is sufficient to achieve the one-year warranty, but additional layers may be applied to areas where additional protection is desired, such as leading edges, hoods, etc. Wait at least one hour between layers, but no more than 3 hours.

I applied the Ceramic Lite 7 months ago in the fall of 2017. The durability and shine has been amazing. After two cars going through a Chicago winter, the shine held up. After washing the cars, they still look like day one of being applied. The material applied very easy as well. It took only a short time.

After using Feynlab Ceramic Lite 12 months ago I am amazed that something so easy to apply can be so effective. I almost felt I had cheated! The gloss, depth of colour & hydrophobicity is still as impressive as the day after application. I have no doubt that this coating will exceed its 1 year warranty by a long way.

As a detailing company we use FeynLab products often. We always have great feedback. I have personally applied FeynLab lite to all my vehicles (I never seem to keep one longer than a year) Most recently we fixed my wife’s Audi with Lite and TopCoat. This was 8 months ago, never garaged and in the extreme SC summer heat, humidity and salt spray of the ocean. Looks beautiful everyday!

First time using Feynlab products was coating my weekend car. I’ve used other major coating brands and was relatively happy, until I used this. Application is an absolute breeze! I prepped the car with Prime and panel prep after polishing, I couldn’t be happier! About to order some more products, I’ve found my new go-to brand.

Easy and forgiving application, water behavior and gloss is unreal. Ceramic Lite I feel is on par with other upper level coatings on the market. One of my favorite coatings to install due to its simple application and ridiculous results!

THere is no better product out there. This easy to apply 1 year coating is insanely durable, insanely glossy and so forgiving during application. It lasted 2 years of abuse on my wife’s car, I’ve washed high spots off weeks later with ease, it stays hydrophobic through tons of contamination and the wet look is insane! So easy to use for the DIYer or the professional. Works great on its own or as a top coat to other coatings.

Super easy to apply, quick and no fuss protection. I’ve had to educate my clients as many in the area aren’t familiar with coatings, and the easiest one for me to move has been Lite. Demonstrating Lite has even converted people to longer term coatings!
Doesn’t hurt that it’s super glossy and durable!

The easiest coating for the best results we’ve ever used in the shop. Last year we switched from using a polymer sealant to using ceramic lite as our baseline protection for all corrections in our shop. Extremely glossy and beautiful hydrophobic properties!

By far the easiest and most forgiving coating to install. The slickness and gloss is amazing alomg with the hydro-phobics and wayer beading. My clients absolutely love how easy it is to wash and maintain their vehicles. Ceramic Lite is a great entry level Ceramic Coating for the DIY or those interested in offering coatings but still new to coatings. You wont be disappointed.
