Can I go through the automatic car wash with ceramic coating on my car?

I recently got ceramic coating on my car, but I don’t like to wash my car by myself. There are quite a few automatic car washes here, and I would love to continue going to them. Can I go through the automatic car wash with ceramic coating on my car?

Just like the right
car insurance
policy, ceramic coating is a great way to help protect your car’s beautiful paint.
You’ll still be able to do the things you did before you got the ceramic coating—you may just need to be a little more careful. The short answer to your question is yes, you can go through the automatic car wash, but you’ll need to do some research beforehand.
Ceramic coating is durable and can withstand an automatic car wash, but you’ll need to avoid ones that use abrasive brushes and harsh chemicals. Both of these things can damage both the ceramic coating and your car’s paint. Your best option is to go to touchless car washes to avoid rough brushing.
You can protect your paint with ceramic coating, and you should protect your car with the right car insurance policy. Thanks to the
