Jason Rise Car Wash Car Care Knowledge Base

Car Care Knowledge Base

This knowledge base explains how ceramic coatings actually behave in real-world conditions — why they lose performance, how to maintain them correctly, and how to restore protection without unnecessary reapplication.

FAQ

Can I use an automatic car wash on a ceramic-coated car?

No. Brushes and aggressive chemicals degrade ceramic coatings quickly.

How often should a ceramic-coated car be washed?

Typically every 1–2 weeks, depending on driving conditions and weather.

Does proper washing restore ceramic performance?

In many cases, yes. Loss of performance is often caused by contamination, not coating failure.

Does loss of water beading mean ceramic coating failed?

No. In most cases, it means the coating is contaminated, not gone.

Can one bad wash ruin ceramic coating?

One wash won’t. Repeated improper washing will.

How long does ceramic coating last with proper maintenance?

Typically much longer than its advertised lifespan.

Can contaminated ceramic coating be fully restored?

In many cases, yes – without reapplying the coating.

Does dull paint always mean ceramic failure?

No. Dullness is often caused by surface contamination.

How often does ceramic coating truly fail?

Much less often than people think. Most “failures” are maintenance-related.
