Does ceramic coating require maintenance?
A car with a ceramic coating will get dirty, it will just get dirty less quickly, so you will need to wash it less frequently. But you will still need to wash your car. You don't need any special maintenance products to do this.
However, there are special ceramic coating maintenance products available which will help you extend the life of your ceramic coating.
Some of these products are top-ups are for professional use only, but there are also ceramic spray on products which you can use yourself.
Keeping the coating topped up will maintain maximum protection, but do you require them? No, you don't, but they will extend the life of the coating and we do recommend them. If it were a requirement that you need to apply lotions and potions to your car every month, it would negate one of the primary benefits of having a ceramic coating, which is the fact that it's low maintenance.
What we would suggest is that you give your car a review once a year, like a spring clean. It is fairly likely that over that time you may have picked up a few dents, scratches and chips. Dirt may be collecting in some hard to reach places, and at this point you might consider having your car's exterior professionally detailed and any problems corrected. A top-up can be applied at this point should you wish.
