Can I towel dry a ceramic coating?
We recommend you towel dry your car after washing, but you can also use a silicone squeegee to remove the bulk of the water.
We would offer the same advice for any car, regardless of the coating. A car with a ceramic coating isn't any different, except that the coating is highly hydrophobic, so a lot of the water may have already fallen off the car.
We prefer very large plush towels, and to use a couple. If they are large, they can soak up all the water, and you shouldn't need to wring them out. As we know, wringing out towels is hard work.
Microfibre towels are super absorbent and softer than cotton terry towels. We think it's worth spending a bit more money to get a couple of good towels because they can make your life so much easier.
A good quality silicone squeegee or water blade, can also be used to remove the bulk of the water from your car if the water is beading up into small droplets.
One of the things that a ceramic coating cannot prevent is hard water spots, which care caused when water on your car evaporates and leaves behind mineral deposits, so it is important to dry your car.
