Can Ceramic Coating be applied to PPF?
Absolutely! A ceramic coating like XPEL Fusion Plus is specifically designed to work with both XPEL paint protection film and your vehicle’s paint, increasing color depth, while its hydrophobic properties make cleaning your vehicle a breeze! This makes your vehicle’s maintenance, washing and care much easier.
Can I go through an automatic car wash with Ceramic Coating?
Yes, you can go through an automatic car wash with a ceramic coating, but you need to be careful. Not all automatic car washes are created equal, and some can damage your ceramic coating.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Avoid automatic car washes that use abrasive brushes. These brushes can scratch and damage your ceramic coating.
- Look for automatic car washes that use touchless technology. These car washes use high-pressure water and soap to clean your car without touching it.
- Dry your car immediately after going through the car wash. This will help to prevent water spots from forming.
Can you wax over ceramic coating?
Yes. However, avoid 2-in-1 formulas that include a polish, since polish may damage ceramic coating.
Does ceramic coating on a car's exterior alter the paint surface?
The coating links with the painted surface creating a new functional layer. By creating an inseparable bond on a molecular level with the vehicle’s paintwork you get a coating that cannot be washed off like a wax or sealant.
Is ceramic coating worth it on a new car?
Yes! Coating a new car means you immediately begin to protect your paint and will spend less time and money on paint correction and prep work.
When can I wash my car after ceramic coating is applied?
We recommend waiting at least 48 hours before washing your car – this helps the coating completely dry. Then, make sure to avoid cleaners that include ammonia. We recommend the XPEL Rinse Free Car Wash which is formulated to help encapsulate dirt and keep your surface protected and scratch-free.
