What is the best car soap for ceramic coating?

I got ceramic coating on my car to protect the fresh paint job. I don’t need to wash it yet, but I want to be prepared when the time comes since I’ve never had ceramic coating before. What is the best car soap for ceramic coating?

protects your car, ceramic coating protects the paint from external factors. But you’ll need to know how to properly take care of the coating itself!
When it’s time to choose your new car soap, it will need to be pH-neutral in order to remove any contaminants from the ceramic without damaging it. It also needs to contain aggressive surfactants that reduce surface tension between the soap and debris. A bonus ingredient is SiO2 (silica dioxide), which provides flatness of a cured coating and adds extra protection.
Remember to avoid car soaps with added wax. Added wax can leave resin on the paint, which causes debris to stick and clog the coating.
Ceramic coating is great for protecting your car’s paint, and you can protect even more with the right car insurance.
