The Best Soap for Ceramic-Coated Cars

You paid for a ceramic coating—don’t ruin it with the wrong soap. Here’s how to wash your coated car the right way with the best soap designed for the job.

Why Ceramic Coatings Need Special Soap

Ceramic coatings create a hard, slick, hydrophobic layer over your paint. But using harsh soaps or degreasers can:

  • ❌ Break down hydrophobic properties
  • ❌ Dull the finish
  • ❌ Strip protective layers like toppers or sprays

To preserve your coating, you need a soap that’s strong on dirt—but gentle on the surface.

What to Look For in a Soap for Coated Cars

  • pH-balanced – Safe for coatings and waxes
  • High foaming – Foam helps lift dirt off without contact
  • No added gloss agents or waxes – These can block beading or buildup over time
  • Safe for foam cannons – Better coverage, safer technique

The Best Option: The Super Soaper

The Super Soaper was designed from the ground up to work with ceramic-coated cars.

  • ✅ Ultra-slick, high-lubricity formula
  • ✅ Safe on all coatings, wraps, and PPF
  • ✅ Works in foam cannons, pump sprayers, or buckets
  • ✅ Rinses clean—no residue, no streaks

How to Use It

For touchless washes:

  • 2–4 oz in your foam cannon
  • Let it dwell for 3–5 minutes
  • Rinse thoroughly, top to bottom

For contact washes:

  • Add to your bucket and use a soft wash towel like the Orange Wash Microfiber
  • Use straight-line passes only—no circles
  • Rinse and dry immediately
