In this video I describe how to properly maintain a vehicle once it has been ceramic coated. For more informational videos, please visit my website www.visualprodetailing.com
I just bought a 2012 Altima coupe, 6spd manual, and had it buffed and ceramic coated yesterday. When a friend took me to pick it up, he couldn't believe it was my car sitting there in the parking lot. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's a nine. Only flaw is that front bumper did not come out like the rest of the car. I'm going to have the bumper repainted, otherwise, it's like having new siding put on your house without changing the old crappy looking front door. This guys video very well done!!!
Glad to hear you say that some cars are too dirty for a rinseless wash. I can't tell you how many people that detail do rinseless washes no matter how dirty the car is. I had one person that does this get mad at me for disagreeing with his practice. I don't like to do them even when they are just a little dusty. At the end of the day I guess I should just say I'm "traditional" and against rinseless washes in any situation :)
I just had my truck done with a 2 step paint correction and 2 coats of SB3 Alpha and 1 coat of Omega Ceramic after my 7 days can i add a topper of 303 Graphene coating
Very informative content, my question is how do you remove the ceramic coating after it has been applied and notice streaks. I had a "pro" apply it, Moh's 2x coats and a booster on top PPF and now after washing is with the 2 bucket method , i noticed streaks all over the vehicle, he will not answer his emails. Im stuck with solving this problem with some help off of the web. Thanx In Advance
streaks? That is very interesting. Can you email me some pictures mark@visualprodetailing.com? There is a product called CarPro Essense+ that is specifically designed to lightly polish coatings. It sounds like your installer may have left some high spots.
Hey. Can you ceramic coat over a already coated car? I used hydrosilk and realized its not 9h hardness. So can I add a higher quality ceramic over my already coated? Or should I strip the coating and re start?
If you don’t rinse off the car after putting on or wiping on that part of the car then aren’t you wiping the dirt that was on the car when you applied that non-rinse solution?
Thanks for your video.. After washing my car which coating with ceramic can I apply Chemical Guys butter wax and Jetseal..? If it's good.. How about using fine black pad with DA machine?
Can I use waterless car wash even for mud & heavier contamination because I don't have access to a hose all the time, so I won't be able to pre rinse at all
Hi, my car has a ceramic coating and I recently had some bird droppings on the car which have left etchings. Please can you advise me on how to polish these out with taking the ceramic coating off please?
Hi James, depending on how bad the etchings are I'm not sure you will be able to do that. I would recommend taking it to who installed the coating for you and seeing if they can spot polish those areas and re apply the coating to those small sections only.
Thanks for replying. I’ve already done that and then over the weekend I got some me more hits from birds. Here in Australia their mess is pretty strong stuff. On previous cars I could just polish it out with ease but my new car has the ceramic coat which means I can’t. I’m starting to think that if these coatings are that delicate then I’d rather go back to the old ways on washing, polishing and waxing. At least I could deal with any issues myself.
@@11Forty6 true. Some coatings are more resistant to these types of damage than others. For instance the coating I sell actually warranties against this and will keep the dropping from etching as long as it is removed in a day or two.
@@VisualProDetailing related to the OP , does the bird droppings affect only the ceramic coating or does it actually seep into and stain the original paint surface underneath?
I just had my 2007 black toyota truck detailed and ceramic pro sport package applied. He told me to pruchase Reboot Silica spray sealant from Delta King to use once every 4 months . is that a good idea???
Hi, say after one year once ceramic coating is done on a car surface, swril will come back on the coating. What should be done? 1.should we buff it with a DA polisher. If yes then will coating come out?
I’ve had ceramic coating for about a month. Already getting quite a bit swirl marks. I’ve ran it thru automatic and touch less washes a few times. I don’t hand dry it or anything just take it down highway and all blows off. But still getting swirls?
kyle flucht are you going through tunnels washes where the brushes and flaps and are against the surface? If so, this is the problem. These types of car washes and so abrasive they can and will put swirl marks even in a Ceramic Coated vehicle. ONLY touchless car washes should be used for any vehicle when not hand washing, coated or not.
Ok so I used the cheap 9h coating by Mr fix , the car came out nice but on the top and trunk had streaks , so my question how can I get them out? Any thoughts
Do you wear a condom over another condom? That's what your basically doing. And why would you put a wax over ceramic? Ceramic is far better than any wax
No it does not .... Does not add anything aside making the car look "wet" enhances the paint color. Polishing has nothing to do with protecting... Ceramic coating is protective. Polshing is cleaning your car you polish it then ceramic coat it. Done....
If you have heavy road grime or even sab/tar on the paint after a proper ceramic coating what is the best thing to do? Could you actualy clay bar those tuff spots away after a proper wash and still maintain the costing finish?
Definitely recommend Reload. I've used it for 8 months on my system x ceramic coating vehicles and love the durability, ease of use, and a unbeatable shine
Hey mate, nice video. I work 7 days a week and often don't find time to hand wash my coated car(black) . Would u say touchless wash my car with a pressure washer every week and hand wash it once a month, good enough to maintain the shininess of the ceramic coating?
My thoughts on the ceramic coatings a new truck no washing and waxing would keep the new. Your truck old but with dual looking then yes keep in mind the price you spend on a professional ceramic coatings is the price of a paint job in my opinion that ceramic coatings I think all that is extra clear coats added to the factory clear coat.
There are too many different types of Ceramic coating out there that has inorganic compounds mixed in, cheap 9H with too much carrier fluids and the 10H which provides a lifetime guarantee. I've used many kinds and at times learned the hard way with some because of my lack of patience when applying these coatings but with all of the cheap shit that's being sold out there you'll be very lucky to buy the "TRUE" solution unless you're getting them straight from the manufacturer or main seller of these products. I've seen many videos on UA-cam and most of these guys are advertising the cheap shit that's floating out there that has too much carrier fluid mixed into the 9H and you're barely getting the good stuff in it. The REAL 9H & 10H it is so thick there is no way you're getting that solution without using a fine mist of water spraying on your car to spread it properly and there is a process even removing it properly which from experience it's a 3 step wiping process to just get the blooding thing off! The BEST method of caring for Ceramic is just doing a manual car wash with a heavy duty spray gun and simply just wiping it off. Forget about adding additional wax coatings and do not go through any car wash as this guy here failed to mention that if you do that it won't damage your coating but it will for sure decrease the effectiveness of the hydrophobic effect that 9H & 10H offers! My suppliers told me that it can take 1-2+ weeks for 100% curing unless you're applying heat lamps like the Thai guys which is true way to go and not to wash it for a couple of days. This year I will be trying out the 10H solution which is more an even thicker coating but as for the front end of your car I would recommend getting 5+ coatings of 9H or 10H and then getting PPF done in the front end, trust me your ceramic will not protect you from rock chips as I've been reapplying and testing it for the last 2+ years on it's durability!
Englebert Humperdink Views 10H actually doesn’t exist 9H is the highest level pencil graphite hardness Anything beyond that is bs Any ceramic coating claiming above 9H is a lie because there is no such thing
KMONEY8989 10H does exist because one of the biggest manufacturer that I buy from just put it out last year and they didn't call it 10H because it provides a thicker pencil hardness but because of new mixture of compounds that are included that gives you a lifetime warranty on the seal that it provides. The hydrophobic effect will not be any better as this will deteriorate in due time as what most people do wrong is use cleaning agents or do drive through car washes which destroys that hydrophobic protection.

Wow that looks easy and great. I need to get my car ceramic coated.
Nice videos. Can I apply ceramic coating on heated side mirrors and interior display?
What do you recommend for maintaining a ceramic Coating after I wash it? Car pro reload or something else??
Great videos,straight to the point! 🙂
Thanks, helps a lot for my newly coated car.
Good video! Lots of informative tips delivered clearly and at a good pace. Thanks!
Great video, thank you so much for your suggestion, I will try next week 😊
My question is can you use any detailer spray , after it’s been ceramic coated
I really like the way some of the waterless washs like chemical guys can do it a couple times in between full washes
Try using the ultra black sponge instead of microfiber mitts. It is so much more effective and safer
I just had my truck done with a 2 step paint correction and 2 coats of SB3 Alpha and 1 coat of Omega Ceramic after my 7 days can i add a topper of 303 Graphene coating
How do we wash a PPF with cermanic coating? Do I still need to do as much washing ?

If you love polishing and waxing your vehicles ceramic coating is not for you.
@STREET SHARKS BEDFORD POINT its recommended not to use waxes any more because it can diminish the effects of ceramic coating
Because you don’t need to after you ceramic coat it 🤦🏼♂️
I have a film on my ceramic coating that will not wash off. What do you recommend using to take that film off?
Do you know where I could buy a bottle of the industrial grade ceramic coating to use at home?
Hey. Can you ceramic coat over a already coated car? I used hydrosilk and realized its not 9h hardness. So can I add a higher quality ceramic over my already coated? Or should I strip the coating and re start?
You need to have clean bare paint so ceramic can bond to paint
what foam cleaner do you recommend for a black ceramic coated car? thanks
If you don’t rinse off the car after putting on or wiping on that part of the car then aren’t you wiping the dirt that was on the car when you applied that non-rinse solution?
No, the solution emulsifies the dirt, then the towels absorb it safely.
What about using a waterless car wash called, Dri Wash-n-Guard on the ceramic coating?
Mark Rivera I need to know that too!
Try hand washing the car in subzero temperatures in northeast!!!
Thank you for the video.

Waterless and rinseless wash are not for heavy dirt and mud removal, you will need to pre rinse or do a wash with running water in those cases.

They will have to be polished out.
Which ceramic coating product do you recommend that I can use as a topper?
Optimum hyper seal
Or p and s bead maker
Had a question. Can I use Sonax Net Polymer Spray on my ceramic coated car as an extra layer of defense?
Yu Studios possibly. Some products play better with certain coatings with others. As long as it goes on easy it certainly can't hurt!
The backside of your microfiber sponge is the bug removal side. Designed to get rid of heavy bugs stuck on the paint.
Will it hurt to wax a ceramic coating or do you recommend using a maintenance spray. I used PolishAngel H9 and V2.0 ceramic followed by SPRITZ.
J A Z Z P E R if you wax the coating then the wax you use will coat the ceramic coating
Do you wear a condom over another condom? That's what your basically doing. And why would you put a wax over ceramic? Ceramic is far better than any wax
Does the ceramic coating also change the looks, does it add glittering ?
I try to decide whether to do polish+ceramic or polish only.
No it does not .... Does not add anything aside making the car look "wet" enhances the paint color.
Polishing has nothing to do with protecting... Ceramic coating is protective. Polshing is cleaning your car you polish it then ceramic coat it. Done....
What is a good spray for ceramic coated car?
ronaldturner7430 most companies make a booster type product for their line of coatings. The product from the coating you have will usually works best.
Visual Pro Detailing gotcha.
If you have heavy road grime or even sab/tar on the paint after a proper ceramic coating what is the best thing to do? Could you actualy clay bar those tuff spots away after a proper wash and still maintain the costing finish?
Yes sir, just be very gentle. It would be best to use a chemical tar remover first to remove the bulk of the contaminant before the clay bar.
I just came here for the vee hi cool
For gtechniq coatings what is required for the yearly annual maintenance cleaning iron remover and a topper or???
What about CarPro Reload on top of Ceramic Pro?
Definitely recommend Reload. I've used it for 8 months on my system x ceramic coating vehicles and love the durability, ease of use, and a unbeatable shine

Dean Phung dean I would say to just rinseless wash it when needed. 2-3 gallons of water and 30 minutes and it will look fantastic.
