Maserati Levante Trofeo V8 Ultima
Shield Your Vehicle From Harsh Environments
(Cars • Bikes • Boats • Trucks • RVs)
At Royal Image Detailing we don’t apply just any coating—we install CS-2 because we’re factory-trained, certified installers and have seen its real-world staying power. CS-2’s nano-ceramic chemistry creates a true 9H-hard, glass-like layer that bonds permanently to paint, gel-coat, powder-coat, plastics and even polished metal, resisting UV, acids and abrasion far beyond wax or spray sealants.
1 | What Makes CS-2 Different?
|
Feature |
CS-2 Advantage |
|
Self-cleaning hydrophobicity |
Water rolls off like a lotus leaf, carrying dirt with it. |
|
True 9H hardness |
Shields clear-coat from micro-marring & swirl marks. |
|
Single-layer efficiency |
One thin layer delivers up to 3 years’ protection (Titanium series: permanent). |
|
UV & chemical block |
Prevents oxidation, chalking, bird-dropping etch & road-salt stain. |
|
Multi-surface formulas |
Dedicated variants for paint, gel-coat, plastic trim, glass & wheels. |
Certification matters: CS-2 warranties are honored only when applied by an approved shop—like Royal Image Detailing—because proper surface prep and controlled curing are critical.

3 | Owner Maintenance Guide
CS-2 is low-maintenance, not no-maintenance. Follow this timeline to maximize life and keep the warranty valid:
-
First 48 hours – Keep the surface dry; avoid bugs & bird bombs while the coating cures.
-
Every 2 weeks – Hand-wash with a pH-neutral shampoo, two-bucket method, microfiber mitt. Skip brush tunnels.
-
Touch-free dry – Use plush microfiber towels or a filtered blower to avoid mineral water-spots.
-
Quarterly “Revive” topper – A light SiO₂ booster (such as CS-2 Revive) refreshes hydrophobicity and gloss.
-
Annual decontamination – Book our clay-bar / iron-removal service; we’ll inspect thickness and renew the topper if needed.
-
Avoid: Dish soap, abrasive polishes, water-blade squeegees, or “ceramic wax” mixes that may clog the coating.

5 | Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my CS-2 coating actually last?
Classic lasts up to 3 years; Diamond 5 years; Titanium is permanent with yearly check-ups.
Does CS-2 prevent rock chips?
No coating can stop high-speed impacts, but CS-2 greatly reduces wash swirls and fine scratches.
Can I wax over CS-2?
You can, but it’s unnecessary and may mute water beading. A SiO₂ topper preserves the pure hydrophobic effect.
Is it safe for matte or satin wraps?
Yes—matte-specific formulas preserve the non-gloss sheen while protecting the vinyl.
