Our Ceramic Coating is designed to protect your factory clear coat, provide a protective shield against natural elements, and keep your vehicle looking new always. To maximize the effects of our coating and to ensure your investment is long-lasting, a few basic maintenance steps should be taken. With simple care, your coating will reward you for years to come. Visit us at Prestige Auto Appearance, LLC. Contact us today!
Curing time is 2-3 days depending on environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature. Take special care during this period. The coating will help prevent your clear coat from getting water spots as it is hydrophobic, however, it can still get hard water spots. Be especially diligent during the curing process to prevent water spots, which may be costly to remove.
During the curing process avoid:
Parking under trees especially if there is shedding. You don’t want tree sap on a fresh coating.
Allowing bird droppings, sap, or pollen to sit on the car and bake in the sun.
Washing or abrading the paint.
If you notice that your car gets water spots, bird droppings, bugs, tree sap, or other contaminants during the first few days, immediately remove it following our care instructions. Keep in mind the coating is still curing. Be gentle when working on the paint.
Wash on a bi-weekly basis to avoid excessive contamination build-up.
Avoid washing in direct sunlight to minimize streaking and water spotting.
Wash from the top down leaving the dirtiest sections for last to avoid cross-contamination.
Use the “two buckets” method – one bucket for rinsing your sponge/mitt and one for soapy water.
Use separate soap and sponge/mitt for wheels.
Always dry completely and never leave to air-dry. Tap water contains minerals that may leave deposits creating water spots.
Use quality microfiber towels for best results and avoid aggressive wiping, allowing the material to absorb the water.
Never use aggressive products to polish the coating or remove surface contamination.
Never use excessive force to remove water 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 the bird droppings will break down over a few days without affecting the coating.
For best results, clean all leather/vinyl surfaces bi-weekly.
Vacuum carpets regularly.
Immediately wipe off spills on leather, vinyl, or fabric.
Immediately absorb and clean stains on the carpet.
Our Ceramic Coating is extremely slick, this means most things will dissolve and be pulled off by the coating’s self-cleaning effect. Use water or a little vinegar to remove bird droppings, bugs, and tree sap. Followed by wiping it off with a soft edge-less microfiber towel.
For best results, the car should be washed on a bi-weekly basis to avoid excessive contamination build-up. Use only recommended mild soaps. Avoid high volume brush style car washes, high PH detergent style cleaners, and bug/tar removers. Avoid washing in direct sunlight to minimize streaking and water spotting. Wash from the top down leaving the dirtiest sections for last to avoid cross-contamination. Use separate soap.
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 the 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 wax” option.
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.
Always go to a touch-free wash! Using an automated car wash with brushes will void your warranty. Our Ceramic Coating takes 2-3 days to achieve full hardness. Please handle with care and do not wash the vehicle for the first 2 weeks.
