Why should you use CrystalXtreme® to protect your Xtreme Sports equipment?

Whether it is competition driven or adrenalin seeking, in extreme sports there are so many uncontrollable variables, typically weather and terrain related, including wind, snow, water and mountains. Because these natural phenomena cannot be controlled, they inevitably affect the outcome of the given activity or event. CrystalXtreme® unfortunately cannot change the lack of control but it gives those athletes the capability to improve their reaction to some of these adverse conditions or their performance in the competition. For winter sports, by coating a snowboard with CrystalXtreme®, the surface is smoother reducing friction which will allow the boarder to glide faster and by coating the ski goggles, visibility will be enhanced improving the safety while skiing. For surfing CrystalXtreme® is able to help reduce drag. For other X Games, CrystalXtreme® is able to help you make your weapon of choice hydrophobic, polished and easy to clean… the possibilities are endless.

What are the benefits of using CrystalXtreme® to protect your equipment?

Creates an abrasion resistant invisible layer of protection

It reduces drag by creating a smoother surface

Protects clothing and accessories from weathering

CrystalXtreme® products for Xtreme Sports Equipment

Visor Protection

With many Xtreme Sports, motor and non motorised, helmets are required to protect the participant. The visors on these helmets enable them to see and dirt build up on these can severely impair their vision. CrystalXtreme Xtreme Windshield and Visor Protection has been designed to adhere to the visor of all helmets making these repel water, dirt, grime and very easy to clean. During rainy seasons at higher speeds visibility is that much better and competing becomes much easier even without the constant need to stop to clean.

Restore & Polish

Where there is a need to have a smoother, silkier surface to reduce friction and drag, CrystalXtreme® Xtreme Restore & Polish is the answer. Not only does the surface have all the hydrophobic benefits of our other nano-coatings, as the polish penetrates the surface, the silky surface will provide that edge all competitive athletes are looking for. The challenge with most equipment is to clean and maintain them both before and after using them. CrystalXtreme® Xtreme Restore & Polish is a 2in1 polish and contains an abrasive agent ensuring that all the imperfections are evened out prior to protecting it, reducing the application time. Xtreme Restore & Polish can be applied to both plastic and metallic equipment providing abrasion resistance and super hydrophobic properties.

How to apply CrystalXtreme® on your equipment

For information about product specific application please refer to the “Application Instructions” tab on each product in the CrystalXtreme® Shop, and please ensure to read the instructions booklet provided with all orders prior to applying CrystalXtreme® on your equipment.

Clean: Prepare the surface by cleaning it thoroughly ensuring it is free from dust, oil, grease and other soiling or surfactants. Only use cleaners without any drying agents. After this wipe the ca surface down with alcohol, we recommend organic isopropanol. Once completed buff the surface dry with a microfibre cloth. 

Apply: Prior to applying CrystalXtreme® on your equipment ensure the surface is completely dry. Shake the bottle well and spray the CrystalXtreme® product on to a lint-free or microfibre cloth. If you are using the windscreen & visor pack, tear the sachet and remove the pre-treated lint-free cloth. Distribute evenly across the entire surface until the cloth is dry. 

Dry: The CrystalXtreme® layer will take a few hours to form itself and therefore it is essential to allow the surface to dry. You may find streak marks appear on your equipment. Allow the surface to dry overnight if possible and then remove the streaks by buff drying the surface with the microfibre cloth provided with your CrystalXtreme® order.
