HOW TO REJUVENATE A CERAMIC COATING

The preparation before you apply a ceramic coating is extremely important but even after the coating is applied the maintenance is just as important so you can squeeze the maximum longevity and performance out of the ceramic coating as you can so what are the necessary steps for taking care of your ceramic coated vehicle and keeping it effective and hydrophobic?

 

 #1 Washing Your Vehicle Every 2 Weeks

 

This is the bare minimum you can do to keep your ceramic coating in tip-top shape. Over time if contaminants continue to sit on the coatings surface it can lead to damage of the coating and severely reduce the longevity of the coating.

#2 Using an Iron Remover As Needed

 

Even though ceramic coatings are there to protect your car or truck’s paint and surfaces from thing like iron deposits, brake dust, etc. You still may want to consider using an iron remover/fallout spray regularly. If your ceramic coating’s hydrophobic properties are suffering an iron remover may be exactly what you’re needing which will instantly revitalize your coating. How often an iron remover needs to be used can vary greatly depending on where you live. Whether you’re near a railroad, maybe you travel on dirt/gravel roads a lot or work on a construction site?

Always be sure you’re always washing with a pH neutral car shampoo or maybe even look into getting a ceramic car shampoo. Just by simply washing your ceramic coated vehicle with a ceramic soap you’re adding another thin layer of ceramic coating over your original coating which will just provide better overall longevity and protection of your original coating.

 #4 Applying Wax Over Top Of Your Coating

It will also protect your existing coating and increase it’s longevity, however if you love the hydrophobic effects of your ceramic coating there’s a good chance the wax won’t perform as well in that department but there are some exceptions like a ceramic or graphene infused car wax which even after the wax itself dissipates and disappears, will leave behind a thin layer of ceramic or graphene which in this case will bond to your already existing coating which may will help improve longevity.

 

 #5 Using A Ceramic Coating Spray

 

This is kind of a continuation of #3 with the ceramic car soap, except instead of using it you could invest in and apply a sprayable ceramic coating. They take all of 15 minutes to apply to your entire vehicle and can drastically increase the longevity of your original ceramic coating. Spray coating longevities can range anywhere from 3-6+ months but they’re an easy and pretty cheap way of maintaining your already existing coating that cost you hundreds of dollars.

 

If you take in any of the steps above and start to apply these to ceramic coated automobile, you’ll improve the longevity and performance of your coating greatly.
