Getting a ceramic coating for your car is one way to preserve its appearance and boost its resale value. However, if you want to maintain the finish, there are a few basic requirements you must uphold. If you don’t know where to begin, we have you covered. Here are a few tips for maintaining your car’s new ceramic coating. Take Your Car in for Routine WashingCreating a routine schedule for washing your car every two weeks is one way you can maintain your coating. This is crucial because as you drive your car, dirt and other contaminants will cover your coating, which decreases the finish’s hydrophobic properties. That is why it’s imperative to frequently remove these contaminants. Using the right cleaning material and a wash mitt will make your car easy to clean. When it’s time to dry your car off, the water will release effortlessly from the surface. You can remove any remaining moisture with a leaf blower or large fan. Avoid Water SpotsAdditional hazards to a CQuartz ceramic coating include water spots. Water spots occur when water dries on the vehicle’s surface. When the problem gets out of hand, even a thorough washing won’t release the mineral deposits. To avoid this, wash your vehicle in shaded areas so the water won't dry too fast. Taking your vehicle in to get decontaminated once a year will also help you eliminate any impurities left on your car. Use Caution When Applying Additional Protection to Your CoatingWhat some people don’t realize about adding additional protection to a coating is that it can remove some of the protective properties of the base layer. For instance, if you put wax on a ceramic coating, any hydrophobic properties that you witness will be due to the wax, not the ceramic coat. Nonetheless, adding a “topper” can give you an additional layer of protection—but any sheeting, dust attraction, or beading will be from whatever you put on top of the coating. Overall, taking the proper precautions with your coating will make your car look better in the long run. Now that you know some tips for maintaining your car’s new ceramic coating, you can make the best decisions to keep it in perfect condition.

It really helped when you said that we should have a routine car wash service every two weeks to maintain the car ceramic coating. I will keep that in mind when I get this done to the secondhand vehicle that I bought this year. It will keep the vehicle looking good and not looking too old, since it's what I can only afford for now for myself.

You make a great point about ceramic coats need to get a hydrophobic layer added on. I need to take a pottery class to access my creative side. I want to have something productive to do on dates with my wife.

Thanks for helping me understand that water spotting will occur when it is air-dried on the surface. With that in mind, I will make sure that I maintain the ceramic coating by regularly wiping the car when needed. I just plan to get it covered with that coating to make it shine and look better, since I own a secondhand vehicle which I bought just this year.
