1. Initial Care After Application

• Wait Period: Allow 24-48 hours for the ceramic coating to cure before washing.

• Avoid Rain: Try to keep the vehicle dry during the initial curing period.

2. Regular Washing

• Frequency: Wash your vehicle every 2-4 weeks, depending on environmental conditions.

• Use a pH-neutral car soap to avoid degrading the coating.

• Opt for the two-bucket method: one for soapy water and one for rinsing the wash mitt.

• Avoid automatic car washes with brushes; touchless wash and hand washing is preferable.

• Drying: Use a designated drying towel to dry the vehicle gently, preventing water spots or a blower of some sort for contactless drying

3. Decontamination

• Iron Remover: Every few months, use an iron remover to eliminate embedded contaminants.

4. Maintenance Products

• Detailing Spray: Use a ceramic-specific detailing spray to enhance hydrophobic properties and shine during regular washes.

• Sealants: Occasionally applying a spray sealant can boost protection and longevity.

5. Minimize damage to the coating

• Parking: Whenever possible, park in shaded areas or use a car cover to protect against UV rays.

• Bird Droppings & Tree Sap: Clean these off immediately, as they can damage the coating if left for too long.

• Avoid Abrasives: Don’t use harsh cleaners or scrubbing tools that could scratch the coating.

6. Periodic Inspections

• Water Behavior: Check the hydrophobic effect; if water doesn’t bead up, it might be time for a maintenance application.

7. Reapplication

• Frequency: Depending on the product, a top-up or reapplication might be needed every 1-3 years.

• Professional Help: we recommend that the vehicle comes into the shop for a ""maintenance wash” every 5-6 month

In summary, maintaining a ceramic coated vehicle involves regular washing, careful decontamination, and protective measures against environmental factors. Using the right products and methods will help keep your vehicle looking pristine for years to come.
