The Ultimate Guide to Maintaining a Ceramic-Coated Car
Feb 16, 2025

A ceramic coating provides long-term protection for your vehicle, but it requires proper maintenance to keep it performing at its best. Here’s how to care for your ceramic-coated car.
1. Wash Regularly with pH-Neutral Shampoo
Avoid harsh detergents that can degrade the coating. Use a pH-balanced shampoo and microfiber wash mitts.
2. Avoid Automatic Car Washes
Brush-based car washes can cause micro-scratches. Stick to hand washes for the best results.
3. Use a SiO2 Spray for Added Protection
Every few months, apply a silica-based spray to boost hydrophobic properties.
4. Dry with a Microfiber Towel
To prevent water spots, always dry your car with a high-quality microfiber towel.
