To protect your car's paint in summer, wash frequently with a pH-neutral soap, apply a ceramic spray like Tough As Shell, and avoid parking in direct sunlight.

Spray ceramic coatings last longer, offer better protection, and are easier to apply than traditional wax. Wax adds warmth and gloss but breaks down faster.

Avoid ceramic coating mistakes like applying over dirty paint, not using panel prep, working in direct sun, and applying too much product. Prep and technique are key to success.

To maintain a ceramic coating, use pH-neutral soaps, avoid harsh chemicals, dry with clean microfiber towels, and apply a ceramic booster like Tough As Shell every few weeks.
