Default PPF Polish?

What is the best product to use on a ceramic coated PPF, to top off for maximum shine?

Do you want to actually polish the PPF or just top it up with something?

Polishing PPF:

Any type of abrasion is likely to affect the Ceramic Coating applied on top however.

If you're just looking for a little more bling, I maintain our PPF/Coated car with Polish Angel High Gloss, Polish Angel Cosmic Spritz or Kamikaze Overcoat. Adds a bit of shine, maintains/improves the hydrophobic behavior as well.

My bad...yeah, its brand new. I was just wanting something I could put on the PPF to add some bling, and be able to use the product on areas that are not PPF'd and areas that are. What would you recommend for that? Thanks for the information.

The Polish Angel & Kamikaze will still do well on both PPF'd and non-PPF'd areas. Have also used Polish Angel Carnauba Arts Line (Black Wulfenite was luscious on wife's black C7) if you prefer spray waxes to the SiO2 stuff like Overcoat, Cosmic and High Gloss.

Polish Angel Carnauba Arts...stuff is just silly fun to use and looks great:

If the non-PPF'd areas are ceramic coated as well, best to stick with the SiO2 stuff...compatible technologies and all.

If it was polished before the ceramic coating was applied the shine should be there already.
Now just maintain your CC with SI02 products, Like our Ceramic Boost & CS3.
