Ceramic Coating Maintenance.
A coating is a long-term investment — here's how to actually get the years of life it's rated for.
The first 7 days
Let it cure properly.
Avoid washing, rain exposure, direct sunlight, and applying any other product for the first week after application, so the coating can fully cure.
Ongoing washing
pH-neutral only, two-bucket method.
Use pH-neutral shampoo only — never dishwashing liquid — with the two-bucket washing method and microfibre materials. Never use automatic car washes with brushes or rollers.
Products to use
IGL Ecoclean & E-Coat.
IGL Ecoclean maintenance spray for regular upkeep, and IGL E-Coat as an annual topper.
What to avoid
Skip the wax, skip the steam.
Don't apply wax or sealant over the coating, limit tar remover use, avoid abrasive polishes, and skip high-heat steam cleaning.
Annual maintenance
Worth the yearly check-in.
An annual inspection assesses the coating's condition, applies a maintenance topper if needed, removes stubborn contamination, and keeps your warranty valid.
