There are many issues to be considered during and after the application of the ceramic coating product, which is indispensable for those who value their vehicle. As well as applying the ceramic coating correctly, its maintenance is also necessary. The sensitivity in cleaning after ceramic coating greatly contributes to the longevity of the coating. In terms of how to wash the ceramic coating vehicle, substances and objects that are likely to dull the ceramic coating and that are not pH compatible should never be used during the cleaning phase.

In order to wash the vehicles on which the ceramic coating process is applied, some easily available car wash materials are needed. People who want to clean their vehicles in a professional way can wash their vehicles in a short time if they provide these materials. In professional detailing centers, a car wash technique called double bucket technique is applied for washing ceramic coated vehicles. Here are the materials you will need to be able to apply this common and reliable car wash technique:

• 2 clean buckets
• Never use brushes and similar cleaning materials while washing your vehicle!
• 2 Grit Guards to be placed under the bucket (Not required)
• 1 washing and cleaning glove – Microfiber effective towel
• 1 pH neutral car shampoo
• 1 pressure car wash pump
• Pressurized or copious water for rinsing
• 1 drying glove

After obtaining these materials, you can start to perform the ceramic coating car wash with the most accurate method.

How To Wash A Ceramic Coating Vehicle?

After the ceramic coating of a protected car is completely dry or the application process is complete, it is very simple to maintain. Even though it has been a long time since the ceramic coating application, the same steps should be followed in vehicle maintenance. The most important thing to note about how to wash a ceramic coated vehicle is that substances with an unsuitable pH level, such as detergents, should not be used while washing the vehicle. The other thing that car owners who are curious about the details of how to wash the car after ceramic coating should know is that the double bucket technique should be used in the car washing process.

When caring for the ceramic coating, the vehicles should only be washed with high quality, pH neutral soap and water and a soft microfiber cloth or by applying the double bucket washing technique with washing mitts. Vehicles should be serviced in a location out of direct sunlight because water droplets can magnify the sun’s power and overheat the vehicle’s surface.

You may need to prewash before washing your ceramic coated vehicle. If you start the car wash with a wash mitt directly without pre-cleaning, the dirt and dust that you will sweep around on the surface may cause the ceramic coating to become dull and create capillary scratches due to friction. In summary, you can professionally wash a vehicle covered with a ceramic coating by following the steps below.

• Tow your vehicle in an area out of direct sunlight.
• Prepare a high quality, pH neutral car shampoo in a clean car wash pump.
• Spray the foam you have prepared to pre-wash your vehicle on the entire surface of your vehicle. Wait for the foam to go down and rinse your vehicle thoroughly. (If you are going to use pressurized water at this stage, be careful not to bring the pressure too close to the surface)
• Fill two Clean buckets with Grit Guard at the bottom with water. Add car wash shampoo to one of the buckets. Stir the bucket with a clean car wash mitt. Just fill the other with water. (To rinse the wash mitt after each cleaning)
• Use the bucket filled with shampoo only to get the shampooed water. Use the other bucket to rinse the car wash glove that you scrubbed and cleaned your vehicle. If the buckets do not have Grit Guard, you should use a separate wash mitt to clean each panel of your vehicle. (The used wash mitt should not re-enter the bucket. If there are not enough wash gloves, you can use more buckets. If the buckets have Grit Guard, you can reuse a single wash glove in the same bucket.)
• Clean your vehicle by rubbing it carefully and gently with clean wash gloves.
• Rinse your cleaned vehicle thoroughly. If you are going to use pressurized water, be careful not to hold the water close.
• Finally, wipe your vehicle with a clean towel and dry it. A new sun has already risen on the asphalt!

By following all these steps carefully, you can wash your car protected by ceramic coating without any problems.

Things to Consider While Washing Ceramic Coating Vehicle

There are some important points that should definitely be considered in the washing process of a vehicle protected by a ceramic coating. Vehicles with ceramic coating protected should not be washed like a normal unprotected vehicle, the following points should be taken into consideration.

• As much as possible, wash your vehicle yourself or wait by your vehicle until the washing process is finished.
• Never use brushes and similar cleaning materials while washing your vehicle!
• Do not wash your car in coin-operated brush washing machines or vending machines that use cleaning liquids whose pH level you do not know!
• When washing your vehicle, do not use any liquid cleaning agent (Detergent, etc.) with a pH-neutral, higher or lower pH-level. Get information about the pH level of the product to be used.
• Make sure you are in the shade when washing your vehicle.
• Before each wash, pre-wash your vehicle with pH-neutral vehicle shampoos.
• Never use dirty washing gloves and unclean drying cloths.
• Use the double bucket technique in car washes. Use a bucket only to get the shampooed water. Use the other bucket to rinse and clean the car wash glove that you scrubbed and cleaned your vehicle.
• Prefer pH neutral cleaning shampoos in all washing processes.
• Never clean the vehicle surface with clay after ceramic coating.
• Microfiber cloths should be washed with soap powder or detergents specially produced for microfiber.
• You can start vehicle cleaning from the rims and wheels. Leaving the rim cleaning to the end may cause the vehicle to become dirty again. Due to the rim cleaning performed during the drying phase, droplets may form on the vehicle by waiting, causing a delay in drying.
• Bird droppings etc. on your vehicle. If there are stains, soften the dirt with slightly hot water and remove it.
• If you are entrusting your car to a car wash to wash it, inform the car wash about the ceramic coating on the vehicle, and inform the person who will wash it about the ceramic coating. Do not allow your vehicle to be brushed.

People who value their vehicle for hundreds of dollars and protect their vehicle with Ceramic Coating should pay attention to these steps in the washing process in order for the ceramic coating to be long-lasting. Every correct washing process and the quality materials used in this application will extend the effectiveness of the ceramic coating.
