Will polishing remove ceramic coating?
If, for some reason, we need to remove a ceramic coating, the only way for us to do it is to machine polish it off using aggressive abrasive compounds. We have done this when an area of a ceramic coating went cloudy on application, and it wasn't easy.
So the answer is yes, polishing will remove it, but it would take a lot of polishing to do it, especially if you are polishing by hand using retail products which are very mild. But you really shouldn't polish over a ceramic coating. If you have some issue with the finish to your vehicle which makes you feel it needs a polish, you should take it back to where you had the coating applied and ask them for advice.
