Best wash procedure after ceramic coating

mojo555 · 01-10-2017, 09:39 PM

I'm having the ceramic coating put on this week by a prof detailer, what products do I need to buy to maintain? Thinking foam for pre wash, or should I use some kind of citrus wash instead? Bathe or bathe + and finish with wet coat I assume..

Any advice greatly appreciated

Is cure necessary? Only ask as this sounds like the weak point to add swirls afterwards? Less contact with paint the better?

I use bathe+ weekly and cure every couple of months. I didn’t like the gyeon snow foam as dilution rates made it expensive and it wasn’t particularly thick. I am currently using odk arctic as a snow foam.

mojo555 - Cure is so slick, it will rather prevent swirl marks. You might use it also on a wet car as a drying aid and QD in one.

Normal snow foam for regular wash and a citrus pre wash every month or 2.

I use Gyeon Bathe +, drying is real easy, i use a metro vac blow dryer then Cure after. Providing you have a suitable clean microfibre no swirls should be inflicted using Cure.

Sorry to re-open an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone could help me.

I had MOHS+ applied 2 weeks ago, and this weekend will be the first wash.

I have been recommended to use Bathe+ and Cure after, but I was wondering if I could use Wet Coat instead of Cure, as I have heard it is easier to apply?

Could I ask, what is the difference between the two products, and are there any videos demonstrating how to apply/use them, sorry I am a total novice to the car cleaning world, always took my car to a hand car wash previously, but since having the new one and having it ceramic coated, I really want to learn how to wash the car correctly?

Sorry also forgot to add, I have a matt black foil wrapped roof, what products should I use on that?

Many thanks

Hi Jeremy,

I am sorry to bother you, but is there any chance you could help with my previous post, I would really appreciate your help as I am a complete novice at this sort of thing?

Many thanks

With the coating being so fresh I would use plain bathe, and not bathe+ or any thing that will top it up or leave anything behind, as they simply won't perform as well as Mohs. After a few months or when water behaviour starts to slow down then sure top it up a little. But I think you'll find a bare shampoo and drying will see gloss and water behaviour impress you.
