Hand Washing
This is an important step, because you don't want to inflict swirl marks into your freshly polished or ceramic coated paint job. For this step, we strongly recommend to use the 3 bucket wash method with Nanolicious Wash and one of our super plush wash tools like the Shagtastic Wash Pad, Shagamittastic Wash Mitt and The Wash Pillow. If you have some fresh water spots you want to remove, or you want to deep clean the coating, then use Dirty Times Wash.
Use our specific Wash and Rinse buckets with a Great Barrier Thingy in the bottom of them to help further prevent swirl creating grime and grit coming back into your wash tools. We recommend Nanolicious Wash as the best for ceramic coated cars, as it contains ingredients that help to maintain and rejuvenate ceramic coatings. When used on a regular basis, it will help your coating to continue to bead and sheet water consistently. As mentioned earlier, if you want to deep clean the coating and remove fresh water spots and other minerals, our slightly acidic Dirty Times Wash is going to be the better choice.
Our other washes, Auto Body Gel and Wax Wash, are also perfectly safe to use on ceramic coatings and won't harm or degrade the coating over time. However, for a ceramic coated car, Nanolicious Wash is our preferred choice and the one we'd generally recommend.
There are times when one of the others may be better suited to the job though. If you're washing in direct sunlight, Auto Body Gel is a great choice, while Wax Wash is particularly well suited to older cars with older metal and finishes.
Once you're done, empty the buckets and give them a good rinse out. You don't want to be storing any wash water for use later!
