✅ Do's: What You Should Do After Ceramic Coating
Wait at Least 5–7 Days Before Washing
Curing PeriodLet the coating cure fully. Avoid water, shampoo, or rain during this time.
Use pH-Neutral Shampoo for Cleaning
pH 7 BalanceAvoid harsh chemicals. A pH-balanced car shampoo is gentle and won't strip the coating.
Wash Your Vehicle Every 2 Weeks
Bi-Weekly ScheduleRegular cleaning removes dust, bird droppings, and road grime that can dull the shine.
Use the Two-Bucket Method While Washing
Pro TechniqueOne bucket for soapy water, another for rinsing. This helps prevent swirl marks and scratches.
Dry with a Microfiber Towel
Scratch-Free DryingAvoid wiping with cloth rags or tissue. Microfiber is gentle and prevents micro-scratches.
❌ DON'TS: WHAT YOU SHOULDN'T DO AFTER CERAMIC COATING
Don't Use Automatic Car Washes
Hand Wash OnlyThey're rough and can damage the coating. Always go for hand washing.
Don't Use Household Cleaners or Detergents
Coating Safe OnlyThese are too strong and may dull the coating or reduce its hydrophobic properties.
Don't Apply Wax or Polish Over the Coating
No Additional ProductsCeramic coating already adds shine and protection. Waxing on top can interfere with it.
Don't Leave Bird Droppings or Water Spots for Long

Don't Use Dirty Towels or Sponges
