ECP Plus Diamond Ceramic coating
Very confused guys, need advice. Our new car came with this already applied. I am wondering what I can use quick detailer wise to maintain and maybe improve the shine etc. I have been told by a couple of companies that once ceramic has been applied you have to maintain etc with nothing but ceramic products and not wax or sealant. So does that mean I can't apply wax over it or is it true I can only use ceramic quick detailers, spray waxes etc? Would really appreciate any recomendations as well. I guess ceramic infused spray waxes is a no-no? Thanks in advance, I don't wanna screw up what is alrady on there

POLISHANGEL makes some beautiful ceramic maintenance products as well, just deliciously fun to use and works great.
In the end, maintaining a coated car is no different than a wax or sealant car…you’re just using different bottles and generally doing it less often. Waxes are often maintained w spray waxes, sealants w polymer sprays. Ceramics you just maintain with ceramic-infused products.
Wash with a pH neutral shampoo like Gyeon Bathe, hit with a maintenance spray periodically. You generally avoid waxes/polymer sealants with ceramics as they mask the somewhat superior performance of the underlying coating.
There’s a plethora of methods to ‘Skin The Detailing Cat’ so find things you like and are compatible and have fun!

To maintain a ceramic coating, it's best to use ceramic-specific products such as ceramic spray detailers and ceramic sealants. Avoid traditional waxes, but you can use ceramic-infused products for added protection and shine. Always follow the coating manufacturer's or installer's recommendations visit carwooow
