What is the best shampoo for ceramic coatings?

Any car shampoo is fine to use on a ceramic coating. Car shampoos are formulated to remove traffic film while being neutral pH so as not to harm your car's paintwork or trim, and this is why it is always advisable to use a proper car shampoo. Car shampoos are a fairly well established technology, so there isn't enough difference between brands to make a difference. 

Having said that, many of them contain a wax to give your car extra shine, these are what are called "wash'n'wax" products. While these will not harm your ceramic coating, there is no need to apply a wax over a ceramic coating, and they may decrease the hydrophobicity of your coating.

You may also safely use quick detailer, dry wash and waterless wash products, although these may void your manufacturer's warranty
