Ceramic Coating Maintenance & Care
A coating is an investment. Maintenance is how it pays off.
A ceramic coating dramatically reduces how hard your car is to keep clean, but it is not a force field, and a coating buried under road film and bonded salt cannot do its job. Our maintenance program keeps your System X investment performing for its full warrantied lifespan: scheduled maintenance washes from $55 using pH-neutral, coating-safe methods (no automatic washes, no harsh degreasers that strip the coating's hydrophobics), periodic chemical decontamination to release bonded winter grime, and a condition check on every visit so small issues get caught early. It is the same care schedule we run on our own coated vehicles. Whether we installed your coating or another shop did, monthly and bi-weekly plans are available for every vehicle size, and coated cars typically take half the time of an uncoated wash, which is exactly why the plans cost less than most people expect.
What Every Maintenance Visit Includes
Coating-Safe Wash
Pre-rinse and pH-neutral contact wash with dedicated mitts and swirl-free technique: the washing method matters as much as the soap.
Decontamination as Needed
Iron and tar removal when winter buildup starts to mute the coating's beading, restoring its self-cleaning behaviour.
Condition Inspection
Beading and slickness are checked panel by panel, so you always know how the coating is performing and when a top-up is worthwhile.
