Ceramic Coating Maintenance Guide

The First 7 Days (Curing Period)

While your coating is dry to the touch when you pick up your vehicle, it takes approximately 7 days to fully cure and reach its maximum hardness and chemical resistance.

• DO NOT wash the vehicle with soap or chemicals for the first 7 days.
• Avoid parking under trees where bird droppings or tree sap are likely.
• If bird droppings occur, gently remove them immediately with a damp microfiber cloth and water only. Do not scrub.

What You SHOULD Do

• Use the Two-Bucket Method: One bucket for soapy water, one bucket with clean water to rinse your mitt. Always use grit guards.
• Use pH-Neutral Soap: We recommend Gtechniq G-Wash or a similar high-quality, pH-neutral car shampoo without added waxes.
• Wash in the Shade: Never wash the vehicle in direct sunlight or when the paint is hot to the touch to prevent water spots.
• Use Premium Microfiber: Only use clean, high-quality microfiber wash mitts and plush microfiber drying towels.

What You MUST AVOID

• No Automated Car Washes: Never take your car through an automatic wash with brushes. They will scratch the coating and void your warranty.
• No Harsh Chemicals: Avoid high-pH degreasers, dish soap, or acidic wheel cleaners on the paint.
• No Abrasives: Never use clay bars, polishing compounds, or abrasive sponges (like Magic Erasers) on the coated surface.
• No Traditional Wax: Do not apply carnauba wax over the coating. It will mask the coating's hydrophobic properties and attract dust.
