Keeping your ceramic coated vehicle looking pristine isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about preserving its value and longevity. Here are some easy-to-follow tips that will help you maintain that glossy finish year-round.
1. Regular Washing:
- Frequency: Wash your vehicle every two weeks or more frequently if it’s exposed to dirt and pollutants regularly.
- Technique: Use a high-quality, pH-neutral car shampoo that’s safe for ceramic coatings. Avoid harsh detergents as they can degrade the coating’s integrity. We recommend Gyeon Bathe
2. Proper Drying:
- After washing, dry your vehicle with a clean, microfiber towel to prevent water spots. Avoid air-drying as it can leave mineral deposits and water spots on the surface. We recommend using a Dreadnought Drying Towel
3. Use of Detailing Spray:
- A quick detailing spray designed for ceramic coatings can enhance the shine and reinforce the protective layer. Use it sparingly between washes to maintain the glossy look. Typically 1 spray per panel wiped on and buffed off with a high quality microfiber towel. The ceramic detail spray we recommend is Gyeon Ceramic Detailer.
4. Avoid Automatic Car Washes:
- Stick to hand washing. Automatic car washes often use abrasive brushes that can scratch the surface and diminish the coating’s effectiveness. In a pinch, a touchless car wash can work, but they are less effective than a good old fashioned hand wash.
Maintaining the shine on your ceramic-coated car doesn’t have to be complicated. With these simple steps, you can ensure that your vehicle stays as vibrant as the day we coated and detailed it.
