Ceramic coatings are a great way to safeguard your car's paint and maintain its pristine appearance for years to come. To keep your car in top condition after getting a ceramic coating, it's crucial to know how to take care of it properly. Without proper care, the protective qualities and appearance of the ceramic coating may begin to decline prematurely, which is why proper maintenance is essential, if you want to get the most from your new ceramic coating.

In this blog article, from the expert team at Detailing World, we will share some industry guidelines on how to effectively care for and maintain your ceramic coating so that it continues to provide protection and shine to your vehicle for years to come!

How to properly care for your ceramic coating

There are a number of simple steps you can take in order to get the most out of your new ceramic coating,

Wait for the coating to cure properly

Before you start washing or driving your car, it's important to give the ceramic coating time to cure. Depending on the product used, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for curing time, and avoid exposing your car to water or other contaminants during this time.

Wash your car regularly

One of the biggest benefits of a ceramic coating is that it makes your car easier to clean. However, that doesn't mean you can skip washing it altogether! Regular washing is still necessary to remove dirt, grime, and other contaminants that can damage your car's paint over time.

When washing your car, use a pH-neutral car shampoo that has been specially formulated for use with ceramic coated cars. We also recommend using a microfiber wash mitt to avoid scratching the paint. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the ceramic coating.

Dry your car thoroughly

Dry your car thoroughly after washing it to prevent water stains. Wipe away any extra water with a clean, dry microfiber towel. A chamois or other abrasive materials should not be used as they can scratch the coating.

Avoid automatic car washes

Even though ceramic coatings are made to shield your car's paint, harsh chemicals and abrasives can still harm them. Avoid using automatic car washes because they can remove the protective layer and scratch the coating. Instead, choose touchless car washes or even better handwashing, using the two bucket method.

Used specialized ceramic coating aftercare products

To help maintain the protective layer of your ceramic coating, consider using a ceramic coating maintenance spray. These sprays contain a small amount of the same ceramic coating formula used on your car, and can help to restore the protective layer between washes. In addition, using appropriate shampoos which have been specially formulated for use with ceramic coatings is also important. 

How to get the most from your new ceramic coating

By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your ceramic coating lasts as long as possible and keeps your car looking great. With proper care, your ceramic coating can protect your car's paint for years to come.
