Ceramic coatings effectively protect car paint by offering hydrophobic properties, UV protection, and resistance to contaminants and minor scratches. They make cleaning easier and help maintain a car's appearance. However, they don't prevent all scratches, eliminate maintenance, or replace paint protection film. Their performance depends on product quality, application, and ongoing care.

Waxing a car after applying a ceramic coating is unnecessary and can harm its effectiveness. Ceramic coatings offer long-lasting protection, including UV defense, water repellency, and scratch resistance, while waxing can leave residue and interfere with these properties. Instead, use ceramic boosters or maintenance sprays to enhance and extend the coating's performance. Regular maintenance washing with pH-neutral soap will keep your ceramic-coated car in peak condition.
