How Do You Care For Your Car After Getting A Ceramic Coating?

A ceramic coating is a perfect way to help keep your car's paintwork in good condition. Ceramic coatings' protective properties prohibit liquids and dangerous particles from interacting with the paint, keeping your vehicle looking gleaming and new. Some people feel that applying a ceramic coating to their automobiles decreases the need for routine maintenance. However, this is certainly not the case. It is critical to properly maintain your ceramic coating to guarantee that your paintwork remains protected for as long as possible.

Regular maintenance is required to experience the actual benefits of ceramic coating. This article by Elite Auto Detailing discusses the best ways to keep your ceramic coating in good shape. 

How should you care for your vehicle's ceramic coating?

Wait seven days before cleaning your car after applying the ceramic coating.

Ceramic coatings provide a high level of paint protection but dry slowly. Because the ceramic coating is such an expensive investment, it is advised that you wait at least a week after it has been applied before washing your car. This gives the ceramic coating ample time to cure properly.

Wash your car once or twice a month.

Because of the hydrophobic qualities of your car's ceramic coating, most water-based dirt and smudges will have a tough time clinging to the surface while you're driving. In contrast, the ceramic coating may get encrusted with dirt, stones, and other potentially harmful substances. If the ceramic coating is not cleaned regularly, these impurities will gradually damage it, making it less hydrophobic. To maintain the ceramic surface, you should wash your car every two to four weeks.

Don't wash your car in the sun.

Streaks and water spots are more likely to emerge on the vehicle's surface when you wash it in the sun. If you want a nice, gleaming surface on your automobile, wash it in a covered area, such as a garage. This will keep wet stains and other damage at bay.

Using appropriate cleaning products

To clean your car, use shampoos and soaps specifically intended for use on cars. These cleaning chemicals are the most effective for use on a vehicle with a ceramic coating because of their pH-neutral composition and the fact that they do not harm the finish. Using products created exclusively for washing automobiles that do not include wax can make cleaning your vehicle simple!

Remove any impurities from the surface of the coated paint as soon as possible.

Tree sap, bug splatters, and bird droppings are all acidic pollutants that can degrade your vehicle's ceramic coating. We urge that you eliminate them as quickly as possible before they contaminate your ceramic-coated paint.

Utilizing the two-bucket method

When washing a car, using two buckets is the most effective way to avoid generating swirls in the paint produced by dirt. Both buckets are used for various cleaning and rinsing tasks. The car-specific cleaning chemical and a water solution are in the wash bucket. Only filtered water may be used in the rinse bucket. The wash mitt cleans the car's surface after submerging it in the wash bucket. After washing, the mitt is immersed in the rinse bucket to remove any remaining dirt, stones, or pollutants.
