How To Take Care of Your Car’s Ceramic Coating

Kenny’s Auto Detail • Jan 05, 2024

That gleaming, just-waxed look on your car isn't just a one-time deal – it's the magic of ceramic coating. But, how do you make that brilliance last? We dive into the nitty-gritty of maintaining your car's ceramic coating below. If you’re interested in getting ONYX ceramic coating for your car, truck, or SUV in Seattle, contact Kenny’s Auto Detail


Only Hand Wash Your Vehicle

Skip the automated car washes and opt for the gentle touch of your hands and a microfiber cloth. Hand washing prevents potential scratches and swirl marks that automated systems might leave behind, ensuring your ceramic coating stays pristine. If you need to remove road grit or bird droppings, be sure not to scrub too hard.


Use a pH-neutral Car Soap

When it comes to cleaning your car – opt for a pH-neutral car soap. It's gentle yet effective, ensuring a thorough cleanse without stripping away the protective magic of the ceramic coating. Unlike harsh soaps that can mess with the coating's longevity, a pH-neutral option maintains the balance, preserving that glossy finish. It's an easy switch that goes a long way in keeping your car looking sharp without compromising its protective shield.


Dry After Washing

After giving your car a good wash, grab a microfiber towel and get drying. Skipping this step might seem harmless, but air-drying can lead to water spots that dull the ceramic coating's brilliance. By taking a few extra minutes to dry off your vehicle, you're not just preventing those pesky spots but also ensuring the ceramic coating stays in top-notch condition. 


Wash Every Two Weeks

To keep that ceramic-coated shine going strong, set a date with your car every two weeks for a thorough wash. Regular washing prevents dirt and debris from settling in and compromising the ceramic coating's protective layer.
