Ceramic coating is a significant investment — and proper maintenance is the key to making it last. At Sleepr Studio, we walk every customer through our ceramic coating care guide before they leave. Here's everything you need to know to keep your coating performing at its best.
Why College Station Drivers Choose Sleepr Studio for Ceramic Coating
pH-Neutral Soap Only
Regular dish soap and all-purpose cleaners are alkaline and will strip your ceramic coating. Use only pH-neutral car wash soap.
No Automatic Car Washes
Brush-type automatic car washes create micro-scratches that degrade the coating. Use touchless washes or hand wash only.
Wash Every 2–4 Weeks
Regular washing removes contaminants before they can etch the coating. In Texas, monthly washing is the minimum.
Annual Ceramic Booster
A ceramic booster spray applied annually refreshes the hydrophobic properties and extends the life of the coating.
Avoid Parking Under Trees
Bird droppings and tree sap are acidic and will etch the coating if left on the surface. Remove them immediately.
No Wax Over Ceramic
Never apply wax over ceramic coating — it fills the coating's pores and reduces hydrophobic performance.
