Ceramic Coating Maintenance Tips for Main Line Drivers
You invested in ceramic—now protect that gloss for years.
Coatings thrive with simple, consistent care—especially around Ardmore, Villanova, and Bryn Mawr. Follow this Main Line–ready game plan.
1) Ditch the Tunnel Wash—For Good
Brushes, harsh soaps, and recycled water can mar a coated finish. Stick to a gentle, contact hand wash (or let us handle it with pH-balanced, ceramic-safe products).
2) Wash on a 2–3 Week Rhythm
Repellent or not, pollen, salt, and sap still land on your paint. A light wash every 2–3 weeks keeps the surface clean so the coating can do its job.
3) Refresh with a Ceramic Booster (Every 1–2 Months)
A quality topper restores slickness, amps up gloss, and maintains strong hydrophobics. We include boosters in our maintenance wash options for members.
4) Dry with Microfiber—Not Air
Air-drying invites spots. Use a clean, soft microfiber towel immediately after the rinse. Skip dish rags or rough sponges that can haze the finish.
5) Avoid Harsh Chemicals & DIY Experiments
Heavy degreasers, abrasive polishes, or “home hacks” can weaken a coating. Use ceramic-safe products—or let a pro team maintain it properly.
6) Book an Annual Health Check
Coatings are durable, not immortal. A yearly inspection and top-off keeps protection and gloss consistent through tough seasons.
Why it matters on the Main Line
You’re dealing with real seasons: winter road salt, spring pollen, tree-lined streets. A simple routine extends coating life, preserves value, and keeps that “just-coated” look.
Own the shine. Keep the protection.
