How to Maintain Your Car’s Ceramic Coating: Expert Advice for Longevity
Discover expert tips on how to extend the life of your ceramic coating. Keep your car looking its best with advice from PDD’s specialists in Brisbane.
Protect Your Vehicle’s Shine
In Brisbane, where the sun blazes and the roads challenge, a ceramic coating isn’t just an aesthetic choice—it’s essential protection for your vehicle. But once you’ve invested in a ceramic coating, how do you ensure it lasts? At PDD, we’re experts in not just applying ceramic coatings but also in making them endure. Here’s how you can keep your vehicle looking spectacular year after year.
Here's Top 5 Coating Brands You Can Use For Your Car.
Regular Care Routine
Consistent Cleaning
Consistency is key to preserving your ceramic coating. Regularly wash your car every two weeks with a pH-neutral car shampoo. This practice helps maintain the integrity of the coating by removing harmful contaminants before they can cause damage.
Choose Safe Products
Select cleaning products that are safe for ceramic-coated vehicles. Avoid harsh chemicals at all costs, as they can strip away the coating’s protective features, shortening its lifespan.

Choose the right product for cleaning your ceramic coated car.
Immediate Attention to Spills
Act Fast on Stains
Bird droppings, tree sap, and road tar aren’t just unsightly; they’re harmful to your coating. Clean these spots immediately with a soft microfiber cloth and a gentle automotive cleanser to prevent permanent damage.
UV Damage Prevention
Seek Shade
In Australia and specially Brisbane, intense UV rays can degrade your ceramic coating over time. Whenever possible, park in shaded areas or under cover to protect your investment from the sun’s harsh effects. Make sure your car is parked in the Garage in the day. If you are outside, try to seek shade when possible.
Enhancing Protection
Sealant Application
Consider applying a high-quality sealant over your ceramic coating every six months. This not only adds an extra layer of gloss but also reinforces the coating’s defensive properties against UV rays and chemical pollutants. (This is only recommended if your car is always in the sun and parked outside, and also when you had a repair.)
Touch-Up Recommendations
While the durability of ceramic coatings is one of their major benefits, occasional touch-ups are recommended to deal with any wear and tear. PDD can provide targeted touch-ups that restore the coating’s effectiveness, ensuring continuous protection against environmental factors.
Handling with Care
Soft Tools Only
Always use soft, non-abrasive tools for cleaning your coated vehicle. Harsh brushes or scrubbers can create micro-scratches, diminishing the coating’s appearance and protection.
