WASHING YOUR CAR AT HOME
Ceramic Pro is extremely slick, this means most things will dissolve and be pulled off by Ceramic Pro’s self-cleaning effect. Minimizing rubbing, (especially with a dry towel) on the coating will ensure the best looks and longevity. Dry bird droppings, bugs and tree sap can be dissolved using alcohol type solvents and wiped off with a damp microfiber towel.
WASHING
For best results the car should be washed on a bi-weekly basis to avoid excessive contamination build-up. Use only recommended mild soaps.
Avoide high volume brush style car washes, and high PH detergent style cleaners.
Avoide washing in direct sunlight to minimize streaking and water spotting.
Wash from th top down leaving the dirtiest sections for last to avoid contamination.
Use separate soap and sponge/mitt/towel for wheels to prevent cross contamination.
METHODS OF WASHING
Standard Home Washing:
Use a foam gun (optimal) or microfiber wash mitt to soap down the car. Rinse it off with a
pressure washer (optimal) or hose. Dry with clean microfiber towels.
Spray ‘N Wash Self Car Washes:
Select the high pressure soap. Soap the car down (never use the provided brushes especially on the paint!). Rinse car off with the high pressure rinse. Dry with clean microfiber towels.
Car Washes:
Touch-less car washes only. Never use a car wash with brushes! Never select the ‘spray Once ywax’ option.
DRYING
Always dry completely and never leave to “air” dry. Tap water contains minerasl that may leave deposits creating water spots. These can be removed with a 50/50 vinegar solution.
Only use quality microfiber towels for best results and avoid aggressive wiping, allowing the material to absorb the water.
SPOT REMOVAL
Never use aggressive products to polish the coating or remove surface contamination.
Never use excessive force to remove spots.
Bird droppings, tar, sap, etc. should be removed as soon as possible to avoid temporary
staining or hardening on the coating. Any staining left behind from bird droppings will break down over a few days without affecting the coating.
AFTER WASHING
Do not wax the coating. It is unnecessary and the wax will not bond to the coating. Ceramic Pro Care is the recommended maintenance product. Ask your local installer about getting Ceramic Pro Care or purchase through our webshop: ceramicpro.com
AUTOMATED WASHING
Always go to a touch free wash! Using an automated car wash with brushes will void the warranty and dull the coating. Ceramic Pro 9H takes up to 2-3 weeks to achieve full hardness. Please handle with care and do not wash the vehicle for the first 2 weeks.
LEATHER AND FABRIC MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
For best results, all leather/vinyl surfaces should be cleaned bi-weekly with a leather protectant to avoid contaminant build-up and replenish the natural oils.
Vacuum carpets regularly and use carpet & fabric cleaners when necessary.
Immediately wipe off spills on leather, vinyl, or fabric.
ANNUAL INSPECTIONS
Annual Inspections are the recommended process for ensuring the coating is maintained and care for the vehicle is properly executed. Annual Inspections should be carried out by an approved applicator within 30 days before the anniversary date of the last service to ensure peak performance.
Although durable and long lasting, annual inspections ensure maximum gloss and protection from Ceramic Pro coating.
