Ceramic Coating

Thank you for Choosing Atmosphere Auto Tint!  Proper maintenance is key to preserving the durability and shine of your ceramic coating. Follow these guidelines to ensure long-lasting protection and a flawless finish:

1. Avoid Washing for the First Week

Allow the coating to fully cure by avoiding any washes for 5-7 days after application. This ensures the coating bonds properly to your vehicle’s surfaces.

2. Use pH-Neutral Car Wash Products

Choose a pH-neutral car shampoo to prevent stripping the coating or leaving residues. Avoid harsh chemicals like degreasers or abrasive cleaners.

3. Wash Your Car Regularly

Hand wash your vehicle every 2-3 weeks to remove dirt and contaminants that can reduce the hydrophobic properties of the coating. Always use the two-bucket method and microfiber wash mitts to minimize scratches.

4. Avoid Automatic Car Washes

Avoid using automatic car washes, especially those with brushes, as they can damage the coating. Opt for hand washing or touchless car washes instead.

5. Dry with Microfiber Towels

Always dry your car after washing to prevent water spots. Use soft, clean microfiber towels for a streak-free finish.

6. Apply a Maintenance Spray

Enhance the coating’s hydrophobic and glossy properties with a ceramic-safe maintenance spray every 1-2 months.

7. Park in Covered Areas

Whenever possible, park in a garage or shaded area to minimize exposure to harsh elements like UV rays and bird droppings.

8. Schedule Annual Inspections
