Ceramic coating care?
Just had my car CC! When I go to wash it is any type car wash soap OK?
Any special detail spray needed or can I continue to use my liquid glass?
Thanks

YIKES!!! no need for Liquid Glass, toss it in the trash
I am a bit amazed you are asking this question. In my detailing shop I spend at least 30 minutes after a CC job explaining how to maintain the finish.
As Gunrun states use a wash with no wax.

Waterless wash is also used as a detail spray as it has more lubricity than water. Fold the microfiber into quarters. Spray some on the microfiber and spray on the car. I never use circular strokes either all horizontal or vertical depending on the panel. Use each folded side per 1 panel. I use Blackfire waterless wash.

The whole idea of having CC is to not have to use any kind of polish or wax on it. A good product to keep it maintained would be Adam's H20 Guard & Gloss or Adam's Ceramic Boost. They are both great products!

Why is not recommended to wax over ceramic? Does this include all waxes including carnuba?

Whatever is on the top gives the car it's LSP characteristics. You can put wax on top of a coating but then the surface loses the beneficial aspects of the coating such as hydrophobic behavior and self-cleaning ability.

I enjoy mixing brands and the video indicates no issues combing Overcoat with another brand of ceramic costing.
Any that you're aware of that are finicky than another that you're familiar with that we should be aware of?

Have used Overcoat over WG Uber Ceramic, Gyeon coatings and McKees Paint Coating...amazing stuff. Heck, I've used it on my stainless steel kitchen appliances and solid surface shower walls and it helps keep those clean too. Water fears Overcoat...
