Maxima SC1 High-Gloss Coating 3-Pack (13.2 oz) — Water-Resistant, Dirt-Repelling Finish

Maxima SC1 is a high-gloss, water-resistant coating sold as a 3-pack (net wt 13.2 oz each) that restores factory shine on plastic, vinyl, rubber and carbon fiber.

SC1, often called the original “New Bike in a Can,” is formulated to revive color and create a durable, dirt-repelling finish across a range of motorcycle and bicycle surfaces. This 3-pack gives you multiple applications and includes 10% more product per can than previous fills, making it cost-effective for seasonal detailing or frequent maintenance. The formula works on both gloss and matte finishes and can be applied either as a wet, protective barrier or buffed to a dry, non-greasy sheen.

How should I apply SC1 to get the best shine?

Applying SC1 is straightforward: start with a clean surface, then choose either a wet application to create a protective barrier or a setup-and-buff method for a dry sheen. Work in shaded or cool conditions for most consistent results and avoid applying over hot surfaces.

• Clean with Maxima BIO Wash or a similar gentle wash and allow to dry.
• Spray evenly from a short distance (6–12 inches) over the target area.
• For a dry look: let the product setup briefly, then wipe or buff excess to a dry, brilliant luster.
• For maximum barrier: leave the coating wet to form a tack-resistant layer that repels mud and debris.

Which surfaces and finishes are safe to use SC1 on?

SC1 was developed for common bike materials and is safe on many finishes when used as directed. It works on plastic, vinyl, rubber and carbon fiber, and is designed to be gentle on both gloss and matte surfaces without leaving an oily residue when properly buffed.

• Plastic bodywork and trim — restores color and sheen.
• Vinyl seats and panels — conditions without greasiness if wiped.
• Rubber parts — sheds water and reduces dirt adherence.
• Carbon fiber — enhances depth of finish without damaging clearcoats.

What results should I expect after using SC1 and how long do they last?

Expect immediate improvement in surface depth and color, plus easier cleanup thanks to SC1’s dirt-repelling properties. Longevity varies with exposure and use; reapply as part of regular maintenance to retain peak appearance and protective performance.

• Instant improved gloss and color restoration after buffing.
• Wet-application barrier helps mud and debris slide off earlier in rides.
• Surface-tenacious formulation stays effective through varied conditions.
• Reapplication recommended after heavy use or seasonal cleaning.

Can I use SC1 alongside other Maxima products for prep and maintenance?

Yes — SC1 pairs well with Maxima cleaners and detailers. For best adhesion and visual results, clean surfaces thoroughly with Maxima BIO Wash or an equivalent product before applying SC1.

• Use BIO Wash to remove oils, grime and brake dust before coating.
• Follow with SC1 for shine or leave wet to create a protective layer.
• Use a microfiber towel when buffing to avoid swirls and streaks.
• Top up after heavy exposure, or recoat seasonally for consistent protection.

Who is this for? Maxima SC1 3-pack is aimed at riders, mechanics, and detailers who want an easy-to-use, multi-surface coating that restores factory-like shine and simplifies cleanup. If you maintain motorcycles, bicycles, ATVs or high-end equipment with plastic, vinyl, rubber or carbon fiber parts, this product gives repeated applications in a convenient three-can set with 10% extra product per can for added value.
