What are your best practices for maintaining a ceramic coating? What products do you use to wash and dry ? What techniques do you use? How often?

Pressure washer and a PH neutral soap. I use a two bucket method to wash the rig after I snow foam it. I use a leaf blower to dry the majority of the water off and top it with a ceramic topper. Here’s some pics of my TRX before I traded it on the 392. I’ve been detailing as a hobby for 10+ years. That’s 1.5 years after I applied the ceramic coating. I usually wash my rigs weekly.

Here is the routine I follow on my BMW to maintain the ceramic coating. I’m doing this full process about every three - four washes.

I follow the same strategy as @Robr651 - two buckets, leaf blower, etc.

It got used as it was designed. I’ll be paint correcting and ceramic coating the 392 here soon.

I ceramic coat my TRX once a year. Wash via 2 bucket system. I power wash and then drive fast to dry.

I use Wizards Ceramic Kit and am happy with it.

Same thing here other than I'm not a pro by any means, I just do my own cars. What products do you use? I've applied Adams Graphene advanced gold ceramic on my 392. It works pretty good so far but it's not slick to the touch, unlike Armor Shield IX.
