Ceramic Maintenance Wash
A coating-safe hand wash and condition-based maintenance visit for ceramic-coated vehicles. Condition-based care to remove light contamination, address early water spotting, and maintain coating performance.
CAA recommends service based on vehicle condition and exposure; this is separate from any manufacturer warranty inspection schedule.

What the visit includes
- Coating-safe hand wash with wheel, tire, and fender-well care
- Condition inspection and customer guidance on developing contamination
- Light decontamination and light water-spot correction as appropriate
- Coating-compatible refresh or maintenance treatment when appropriate
- A visit around every four months may be appropriate when the condition calls for it
- Manufacturer-required inspections follow the written schedule for the installed system
A condition-based visit may be appropriate when light water spots, industrial fallout, rough-feeling paint, possible overspray, or other environmental contamination appears. Home washing should be performed as needed based on vehicle use and exposure.
