After Care and Guarantee

Congratulations! Your vehicle or boat is now protected with a Ceramic Coating. Your new ceramic coating is designed to protect your factory’s clear coat from the elements and keep your vehicle looking new all of the time.

To maximize the life of the coating we will talk about a few steps to maintain your new coating.

Do

Car Washes:
– Hand Wash
– Touch-less Wash

Home Washing:
– Quality car wash soap without wax
– No wax is needed
– Use a 350 GSM microfiber to wash and dry
– Wash in the shade, early morning or late afternoon. DO NOT wash in direct sunlight or when the paint is hot.

Don’t

Car Washes:
– Automatic Car Washes
– Spray and Wash Self Car Wash brushes

Home Washing:
– Do not wash in direct sun light
– Do not polish or wax
– Do not use abrasive towels

You’ve picked up your vehicle, so now what? Allow your coating to cure for 7-14 days before washing with pressure. Avoid the following:
– Sprinklers
– Parking under trees
– Allowing bird droppings, bug splatter, sap or pollen to sit on your car and bake in the sun.
– Avoid pressure washing or abrading the paint

It has been 7 – 14 days and you want to wash your car. Here are the best methods we recommend:
Home Washing:
– Preferred: Foam Gun
– Standard: 2 bucket Wash/Rinse System with a microfiber mitt
– Dry with clean microfiber towel, we use Chemical Guys Wooly Mammoth

Spray and Wash:
– Use the high pressure soap, never use the provided brushes. We don’t recommend any brush on painted surfaces
– Use the Soft Rinse then dry with a microfiber towel
– Never apply wax or sealant

Drying:
– Preferred: Use a filtered leaf blower to remove a majority of the water then finish by gently using a microfiber drying towel.
– There are many great microfiber towels for drying, please see us for recommendations that we’ve used and have been proven to work.

Spot Removal:
– Never use harsh or aggressive products to remove surface contamination
– Never use excessive forceful wiping to remove spots
– Bird droppings, bugs, sap, etc. should be removed as soon as possible to avoid staining and degradation of your coating.
– Water spots can be removed with a 50/50 distilled vinegar and distilled water mixture.

If you have any questions regarding any of the information above, please call or text us and/or DM us on Facebook. Thank you for choosing us for your auto detailing service and letting us enhance your driving experience.
