CELESTIAL CERAMIC AFTER CARE AND WASHING TECHNIQUES
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BRAND NEW CELESTIAL CERAMIC COATING. ON THIS PAGE WE WILL DISCUSS HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR NEW COATING. CERAMIC COATING AFTER CARE IS AN IMPORTANT STEP.
What do I do?
Celestial Ceramic is designed to protect your factory clear coat, to provide a protective shield against the elements and to keep your vehicle looking new always. To maximize the effects of Celestial Ceramic and to ensure your investment is long lasting, a few basic maintenance steps should be taken.
CURING PROCESS
A new Celestial Ceramic coating will take about 2-3 weeks to cure
Curing time is 2-3 weeks depending on environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature. Take special care during time period. The coating can help prevent your clear coat from water spots as it is hydrophobic. Celestial Ceramic however is not bullet proof and can still get hard water spots. The coating is less likely to etch than your factory clear, but it can especially get water spots during the curing process and can be costly to remove.
During the curing process avoid:
- Parking under a trees especially if they are shedding. You don’t want tree sap on a fresh coating.
- Allowing bird droppings, sap or pollen to sit on the car and bake in the sun.
- Washing or abrading the paint
If you notice that your car gets water spots, bird droppings, bugs, tree sap or other contaminants during the first two weeks, immediately remove it following our care instructions. Keep in mind the coating is still soft. Be gentle when working on the paint.
CELESTIAL CERAMIC CARE AND MAINTENANCE AFTER CURING PROCESS
Washing Your Car At Home
Celestial Ceramic is extremely slick, this means most things will dissolve and be pulled off by Celestial Ceramic self-cleaning effect. Minimizing rubbing, (especially with a dry towel) on the coating will ensure its longevity. Use Celestial Ceramic Cleaner to remove bird droppings, bugs, and tree sap. Followed by wiping it off with a soft edge-less microfiber towel.
Washing Schedule
For best results the car should be washed on a bi-weekly basis to avoid excessive contamination build-up. Use only recommended mild soaps.
Avoid high volume brush style car washes, and high PH detergent style cleaners.
Avoid washing in direct sunlight to minimize streaking and water spotting.
Wash from the top down leaving the dirtiest sections for last to avoid cross contamination.
Use separate soap.
Washing Methods
Standard home washing
Use a foam gun (optimal) or microfiber wash mitt to soap down the car. Rinse it off with a pressure washer (optimal) or hose. Dry with clean microfiber towels.
Spray ‘n wash self car washes
Select the high pressure soap. Soap the car down (never use the provided brushes especially on the paint!). Rinse car off with the high pressure rinse. Dry with clean microfiber towels.
Car washes
Touch-less car washes only. Never use a car wash with brushes! Never select the “spray wax” option.
Drying
- Celestial Ceramic Klean is a great drying aid. Using Celestial Ceramic Klean and one damp microfiber to first dry the vehicle followed by using second microfiber to finish drying the vehicle. This process will give you the best results.
- Always dry completely and never leave to “air” dry. Tap water contains minerals that may leave deposits creating water spots.
- Only use quality microfiber towels for best results and avoid aggressive wiping, allowing the material to absorb the water.
Spot Removal
- Never use aggressive products to polish the coating or remove surface contamination.
- Never use excessive force to remove spots.
- Bird droppings, tar, sap, etc. should be removed as soon as possible to avoid temporary staining or hardening on the coating. Any staining left behind from bird droppings will break down over a few days without affecting the coating.
After Washing
- Do not wax the coating. It is unnecessary and the wax will not bond to the coating. Celestial Ceramic Klean is the recommended maintenance and aftercare product.
Automated Washing
- Always go to a touch free wash! Using an automated car wash with brushes will void the warranty and dull the coating. Celestial Ceramic 9H takes up to 2 weeks to achieve full hardness. Please handle with care and do not wash the vehicle for the first 2 weeks.
Leather and Fabric Maintenance Program
- For best results, all leather/vinyl surfaces should be cleaned bi- weekly with a leather protectant to avoid contaminant build-up and replenish the natural oils.
- Vacuum carpets regularly and use carpet & fabric cleaners when necessary.
- Immediately wipe off spills on leather, vinyl, or fabric.
Annual Inspections
- Annual Inspections are the recommended process for ensuring the coating is maintained and care for the vehicle is properly executed. Annual inspections should be carried out by an approved applicator within 30 days before the anniversary date of the last service to ensure peak performance. Although durable and long lasting, annual inspections ensure maximum gloss and protection from Celestial Ceramic coating.
