**maurofc70** · 08-12-2020, 04:41 PM

Ok now the ceramic coating is done....any suggestion how to maintain the coating

**Dragls** · 08-12-2020, 05:05 PM

This is the route I would go...

Shampoo-

Carpro reset or gyeon bathe+

Maintenance spray-

PA cosmic or HG
Kamikaze overcoat

What coating did you go with?

**Dan** · 08-12-2020, 08:00 PM

A wash every few weeks.

If you bought a coating that suggests a maintenance product you didn’t buy a durable coating.

I use these coatings more for bling than added protection. Cquk3 doesnt need help but i look at a maintenance spray as adding a wax to a sealant. Doesnt needed but the wax makes it looks better. PA products add a nice glow to my coating.

Wash with a quality auto wash and dry with TW Hybrid Solutions Wet Wax. Simple.

If you really want/need to boost coating properties, use Wolfgang Uber SIO2 coating wash.

I too thought Coatings were supposed to do fine without anything other than washing.

They do but I kinda look at it like using a foam cannon:
- 1. It can`t hurt
- 2. It`s fun

As long as it entertains me, I`ll keep on squirting

Is the difference it makes real or only in my mind? Fortunately, my mind don`t much care about any actual realities, rather only what it wants to do!

Sure they do. But would so many Autopians really coat their personal vehicles if it meant they’re not allowed to touch the paint with some sort of LSP for 18-36 months? Sounds agonizing.

I used Blackfire pro ceramic coating black edition....it was easy to put on....they also have an applicator and suede. to apply coating

1 coat or 2? Was there much left in the bottle after?

You can keep it in the family and go with either of these.

Any car wash will do. I would consider CarPro Reset.

If you want something to spray and rinse

I second Guz’s CarPro Reset suggestion.

Here’s one additional consideration, it’s very light, impossible to streak and not very substantial but it will maintain the newer BF coating look I’m guessing.

**maurofc70** · 08-14-2020, 10:37 AM

not sure if you received this reply before...Blackfire Pro ceramic coating black edition

Heh heh, sounds *perfect* to Yours Truly!

Budgetplan1- Heh heh, "fun"? "Entertaining?"

Oh yeah, sorry, lost my head for a moment there... that`s right...this is Autopia
