How can I take care of my ceramic coated car?

I just had a 9H ceramic coating professionally applied to my new Nissan Maxima. Since it was so expensive, I want it to last as long as possible. What is the best way to take care of my ceramic coated car?

It is great that you are being proactive! There are many ways to care for your ceramic coating to ensure it lasts as long as possible. Here is a list of the most impactful tips:
  • Wash your car by hand, do not use a car wash! The brushes are too severe with an automated car wash, and a touchless car wash uses harsh chemicals. Instead, an old-fashioned bucket of a pH neutral car shampoo and water are the safest.
  • Use the correct microfiber drying towel. The best towel is large with a polyester and polyamide blend and a GSM (grams per square) above 800.
  • Apply a boost or ceramic spray immediately after washing your car.
  • Wash your car on a cloudy day, evening, or early morning. Bright, sunny days can cause the soap to dry too quickly, which causes water spots.
