Your Aftercare Guide

You just paid for quality work. Here's exactly how to protect it. Follow these instructions and your results will last years longer.

Ceramic Coating

Ceramic Coating Aftercare

The first 7 days are critical. Your coating is still curing — water spots during this window can bond permanently. After cure, maintenance is straightforward if you use the right products.

  • No washing for 7 days after installation
  • Avoid rain, dew, and sprinklers for 7 days
  • pH-neutral soap only (CarPro Reset, P&S, Kochchemie)
  • Two-bucket hand wash — no brush car washes ever
  • Remove bird droppings and sap ASAP — don't let them bake
  • Iron decontamination 1–2× per year
  • No wax, no SiO2 sealants on top of the coating
Auto Detailing

Detailing Aftercare

A fresh detail is clean, protected, and smells like nothing. How long it stays that way depends almost entirely on the first 48 hours and your ongoing habits.

  • No washing for 24 hours — let protectants cure
  • Keep windows cracked for a couple hours if interior was cleaned
  • Avoid fast food, coffee, or drinks in the car for 48 hours
  • Use a spray detailer to remove dust between washes
  • pH-neutral soap when you do wash — no dish soap
  • Reapply spray wax or sealant monthly if not coated
  • Schedule next detail every 3–6 months to stay ahead of buildup
Paint Correction

Paint Correction Aftercare

Paint correction removes swirls, scratches, and oxidation. It doesn't prevent new ones. The window right after correction is when your paint is most exposed — this is when protection matters most.

  • No washing for 48 hours after correction
  • Avoid water, rain, and sprinklers for 48 hours
  • Apply ceramic coating or sealant ASAP — don't leave paint bare
  • No brush car washes — ever (they re-scratch your paint)
  • pH-neutral soap, two-bucket method for all future washes
  • Inspect paint in direct sunlight 1–2× per year
  • Address new scratches early — correction compounds on fresh swirls
