Applying a ceramic coating to your car is one of the best ways to protect your paint and keep it looking glossy for years. But once the coating is applied, the real question begins — how do you care for it properly? Without proper maintenance, even the best coatings can lose their shine. The good news is that caring for your coated car is simple if you follow the right steps. 1. Understand the Curing Period After your ceramic coating is applied, it needs time to cure and bond with the paint. During this period (usually 5–7 days ), your coating is sensitive and must be handled carefully. Do’s during the curing period: Avoid washing, waxing, or touching the surface too much. If dust or light dirt appears, gently use a microfiber towel to remove it. Keep the car away from bird droppings, tree sap, or rain if possible. Don’ts: Don’t take your car through an automatic wash. Don’t apply quick detailers or sprays. Don’t park under trees or in direct sunlight for long hours. 2. Wash Your Car the Right Way After curing, washing your coated car properly is the most important part of long-term care.
