Coating Maintenance Kit - Ceramic & Graphene
- Works On Any Coating : Ceramic, graphene, spray sealant, or wax — the maintenance chemistry is the same, so nothing conflicts with what's already on your paint.
- The Complete Cycle : A coating-safe weekly wash plus a protection top-up every 4-6 weeks. Two habits, one box.
- Won't Strip Your Coating : pH-neutral, SiO2-infused shampoo cleans and conditions instead of degrading — no fillers, no residue, no masking your hydrophobics.
- Restores Gloss and Beading : RESIST bonds to any existing coating and brings back the slickness and water behavior you paid for.
A coating is a sacrificial layer. How you wash it and top it up decides whether it lasts its full rated life or fades by month eight.
This kit covers both jobs: a coating-safe weekly wash and a protection top-up every 4 to 6 weeks.
Step 1: Wash — Every 1 to 2 Weeks
Once a coating is applied, you can't polish the paint without removing it. Every swirl you introduce is permanent.
Ceramic Shampoo is pH-neutral and SiO2-infused, so it cleans without stripping or masking your coating. Foam or bucket wash, then dry with the MAX towel — never air dry.
Step 2: Top Up — Every 4 to 6 Weeks
UV, heat, and road film wear a coating down. RESIST replaces what's lost and bonds to any coating.
Fastest method: after the final rinse, mist RESIST onto wet paint and wipe the water off with the MAX towel — dry and protect in one pass.
Maximum protection: dry first, then mist panel by panel and buff with a plush microfiber. A couple of sprays per panel is plenty.
Why It Matters
The wrong soap ruins good coatings. Dish soap strips protection. Wash-and-wax masks your hydrophobics so you think the coating failed.
Most coatings don't fail — they get neglected. Two habits on two clocks keep one performing for years.

Directions
Ceramic Shampoo
Foam cannon: 3–4 oz in the reservoir, fill with water.
Bucket: 1 oz per 2 gallons. Wash out of direct sunlight, top-down.
RESIST
Spray onto the surface — wet after rinsing, or dry after towel-drying — spread with a plush microfiber, then buff to a high shine. Safe on paint, glass, trim, and wheels.
Towel Care
Wash separately from cotton. No fabric softener — it kills absorbency. Tumble dry low or air dry.

FAQ
Wash every 1-2 weeks with a pH-neutral shampoo and top up protection every 4-6 weeks. Decontaminate every 4-6 months.
Yes. Any coating, any brand — ceramic, graphene, sealant, or wax.
A pH-neutral shampoo with no gloss agents or wax. Dish soap strips protection and wash-and-wax masks your beading.
Usually contamination or a masking wax, not failure. Wash with a pH-neutral soap and top up — beading typically returns.
Yes. RESIST bonds to ceramic, graphene, sealant, or wax without conflicting with what's underneath.
Mist it onto wet paint after the final rinse and dry with the MAX towel. One pass, done.
Roughly 15-20 washes and 3-4 full RESIST applications. About six months for one vehicle.
No. Every 4-6 months you still need a decon cycle. See our coating maintenance guide.
