Ceramic Coating Maintenance
Ceramic coatings do more than enhance gloss. They create a durable protective layer that helps repel water, dirt, and environmental contaminants. With proper maintenance, your coating will continue performing as designed for years.
TO KEEP IT IN GREAT CONDITION
- Hand wash every 1–2 weeks using a pH-neutral car shampoo
- Dry completely using a clean, soft microfiber towel
- Use compressed air or a leaf blower (under 90 psi) for touchless drying
- Apply a ceramic-safe maintenance spray every 3–4 months to refresh performance
Essential Tips
- Remove bird droppings, bugs, and tree sap as soon as possible
- Always use clean microfiber wash mitts and drying towels
- Park in shaded areas or inside a garage when possible
- Schedule periodic maintenance inspections
Avoid These Mistakes
- Do not use automatic car washes with stiff or abrasive brushes
- Avoid acidic cleaners, degreasers, or household soaps
- Never dry a dirty surface without rinsing first
- Do not use abrasive towels or sponges
