Do I need to wax a car that has been ceramic coated?

One of the incredible benefits of a ceramic coating is the ease of maintenance.


Ease of maintenance, that sounds like a detailing term, but what does it mean?


It means that you spend less time washing, no time waxing, and less time thinking about cleaning and protecting your vehicle.


Wait, you said... no time waxing?


If you wax a ceramic coated car, to be really frank and straight forward, you are wasting your time.


The ceramic coating has already bonded to your clear coat creating a hardened layer of sio2(glass like) protection that is far more durable, long lasting, and chemical(bug, bird dropping, salt ect.) resistant than any wax.


Not to mention, these coatings are extremely slick and repel contaminants from the surface, so when you try and apply that wax to the coated surface, it is not going to stick like it would to a vehicle with out the ceramic on it, making the application much harder to complete.


Another factor is that the wax, much like the dirt and grime that gets on a ceramic coated car, is not going to bond the same way it would to a regular car without a coating.


Most likely, the first time you go to hand wash the car again all of that wax is going to wash off and your time will be wasted.


So how do you maintain a ceramic coated car? Well, that's a story for another post, and we will get to that.


But to answer the core of the question: NO, you do not need to wax a ceramic coated vehicle. Part of paying the up front price for a ceramic coating (or the investment in time and effort if you are going to attempt to ceramic coat your car yourself) is that it makes taking care of your vehicle LESS time consuming, giving you MORE time to enjoy driving and your life.

Do I Need A Paint Correction?

By Mark Barger • 05 Feb, 2024
Maintaining the luster and appeal of your vehicle goes beyond regular washing and vacuuming. The exterior paint, in particular, is not just about the color; it's a statement about the owner's personality and the car’s condition. But as it ages or faces the onslaught of the elements, your car’s paint might lose its spark. If you’re pondering whether your beloved chariot needs a makeover, you might be asking: Do I need a paint correction? Understanding Paint Correction Paint correction is much more than giving your car a simple wax or polish. It involves a meticulous process that removes the imperfections from the paint’s surface, resulting in a flawless finish. Think of it as exfoliating your skin; it gently strips away the outermost layer to reveal the fresh, smooth surface beneath. By doing so, paint correction can rejuvenate an older vehicle’s appearance or eliminate flaws on a newer one.
