How Often Should I Maintain
My Car's Ceramic Coating? 

How often should I maintain my car’s ceramic coating?

This depends on how heavily your vehicle is used. If your car is mostly parked in a garage or is under cover, we recommend maintaining the ceramic coating around once a year. But if it’s parked outside and is constantly on the road, you should maintain the coating every three to six months. 

Our team will be able to advise on a ceramic coating maintenance timeline that’s right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

car

Yes. A ceramic coating isn't permanent, and it isn't maintenance-free, despite how it's sometimes sold. Coatings are exposed to things like contamination buildup, acidic fallout from bird droppings and bug matter. Maintenance involves a decontamination wash to clear what's accumulated, followed by a top-up of the coating itself.

It depends on how the car is used. A car that's garaged or kept under cover, driven normally and washed reasonably often generally needs maintenance about once a year. A car that lives outside, covers high kilometres, spends time on unsealed roads or sits in the sun all day needs it every three to six months.

Washing helps, and you should keep doing it. But washing removes what's sitting loosely on the surface, not what's bonded into it, and it doesn't restore coating that's already eroded. When you maintain your ceramic coating, you maximise its lifespan and get peace of mind that it's working as it should.
