How to Maintain Your Vehicle After Applying Ceramic Spray
You just applied Tough As Shell—your car looks great, water’s beading off, and it feels slick to the touch. Now what?
Here’s how to maintain that protection and keep your car looking freshly detailed with minimal effort.
1. Wash with a Ceramic-Safe Soap
Use The Super Soaper for every wash. It’s pH-neutral, won’t strip protection, and enhances gloss (Buy on Amazon).
- ✅ Wash once a week or every two weeks
- ✅ Foam, dwell, rinse, and dry with a microfiber towel
2. Dry With a Quality Towel
Use the Massive Drying Towel to prevent water spots and scratching during drying.
3. Top Off with Ceramic Spray as Needed
- ✅ Reapply Tough As Shell every 4–6 weeks for maximum performance
- ✅ Mist onto a wet panel and use as a drying aid for faster maintenance
4. Spot Clean With a Microfiber Towel
Keep Everyday Microfiber Towels in your trunk to wipe off bird droppings, sap, or fresh grime between washes.
5. Avoid These Mistakes
- ❌ Don’t use dish soap or strong degreasers
- ❌ Don’t go through automatic car washes
- ❌ Don’t forget to dry—air drying causes water spots
Recommended Routine
| Task | Frequency |
|---|---|
| Wash with Super Soaper | Weekly or biweekly |
| Dry with Microfiber | After every wash |
| Reapply Tough As Shell | Every 4–6 weeks |
| Spot clean | As needed |
