What is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating is a protective layer applied to the exterior of a vehicle. It is made up of nanotechnology which creates a strong bond with the surface of your car. This layer provides protection against UV rays, bird droppings, dirt, and other environmental damages.
Why Do You Need to Wax Your Car?
Although ceramic coating provides a layer of protection, it is not perfect. Waxing your car after ceramic coating helps to add an additional protective layer, making it harder for harmful elements to penetrate the coating. Waxing also helps to enhance the shine of the ceramic coating.
When Should You Wax Your Car?
It is recommended to wait at least 2 weeks after applying ceramic coating before waxing your car. This allows the ceramic coating to cure properly. After the initial 2 weeks, you can wax your car every 3-6 months depending on the condition of your car and how much it is exposed to the elements.
How to Wax Your Car After Ceramic Coating?
Before waxing your car, it is important to wash and dry it thoroughly. Apply the wax using a foam applicator pad and work in small sections. Once the wax has dried, use a microfiber towel to buff off the excess wax.
What Type of Wax Should You Use?
When waxing your car after ceramic coating, it is important to use a non-abrasive wax that does not contain any harsh chemicals. Avoid using wax with abrasives or cleaners as they can damage the ceramic coating.
