HOW TO Maintain a Ceramic Coated Car | Swirl Free Wash

Published 2020-05-09
In this video I am going to talk you through a maintenance wash for any car that has either been ceramic coated or machine polished.
This video will also demonstrate a safe wash technique which can be used for any vehicle.

Maintaining and washing a car correctly is arguably the most important part of any detail, as if done correctly, the car will look as good as the day it was detailed.

    A video that was just straight to the point Thanks
  • @DPJ_Nolan
    What snow foam are you using/would you recommend with a ceramic coated car? My car is ceramic coated and the foam I’m using just won’t stay attached.
  • Another question : last time you kindly answered my question about alkaline shampoo (BH auto shampoo, pH 9); you said that pH doesn't mean eveything. So I've got 2 other questions : 1) what about the PRE wash shampoo used in your video (BH auto-foam), which is pH ...13 ? I know that pH is not the only factor, but is a pH 13 safe for ceramic coatings (regular wash) ? 2) How do you compare the shampoo BH auto-wash to Carpro Reset ? Thank you in advance.

    What are you using to apply the tyre dressing? I use an old kitchen sponge but it absorbs more product that it applies. I am also using Meguiars.

    You could use the drying towel to suck up the water by not rubbing it over the paint, place the towel on the surface, pat it all over and lift it straight off without rubbing or dragging it over the paint. Shake it to remove excess water and any dirty that may still have been on the surface and move onto the next section and repeat..

    Thanks for this awesome video. A quick question if you don't mind. If i wash my ceramic coated car lets say once a week or once in every two weeks, is it ok and safe to use a wax type product such as turtle wax dry and shine or similar when the car is wet and rinse it off after? Or better make it dry properly and use a quick detailer such as carpro elite (lighter version of reload) , Nova Boost, Xtreme Solutions Topper, Auto Fanatics gloss enchancer, Polish Angel Presto etc

    Hey. Cool vid. Whats your washer pressure name pls ?
  • @imddshots
    Hey question, what were you putting on or doing to your tires at the end of the video? Great vid btw!
  • @pleasemanpoo
    would you recommend using new mitts when was a ceramic coated vehicle?
  • Since Built-hamber auto wash has a pH of 9, why do you use this shampoo on a ceramic coated paint ? I thought we could only use pH neutral shampoo on ceramic, like Reset from carPro.
  • How often is a maintenance wash recommended and also what sort of wash should i be doing weekly on a ceramic coated car? Just snowfoam?
  • @SassySanam
    i dont get the maintenance spray though. If the ceramic gold has so many layers already - why do you need to add another layer every time you wash the car
