How do you wash and dry? Any good methods?

That foam wash is the best when I get my CTR really dirty...but most of the time I use Shine Supply Eco Shine spray wash, as my car is not too dirty, just a little dust. Again, the shine just pops right out...yes, I know spray wash may damage the ceramic coating, but I try to spray a lot so to not introduce too much new scratches, and far so good. anyways, full wash with foam is the best, use 2-different wash buckets, 2-different wash rags, wash from top/down method and finally, blow dry with $40 leaf blower

Add another hydrophobic layer such as Gtechniq EXOV4. Then use a leaf blower to get all the water off. I touch the paint as little as possible.

Can this be added on top of a Ceramic Pro 9H?

My car was paint corrected, Gtechniq Ultra (9yr) and then EXOV4 over that. I would think Exo can be applied to any ceramic coating. Call Gtechniq and make sure, they’re local here in north Atlanta

Ever heard of using Johnson and Johnson baby soap? The guys the did my ceramic said that’s the best way to go and about ever 3-5 washes use the solution that they provide. So pretty much use a foam gun, and leaf blow dry. Thoughts?

I doubt I will. I get the GTR/Vette itch ever now and then lol

Before I had my CTR I told myself I would never sell my 8th gen civic before purchasing a new vehicle... well flash forward to now.. shoot! I can't wait to sell my older DD civic! (less car insurance, money towards getting ceramic coating, and cold reality: the remaining from that back to payments lol)

Vette's and GTR's are both great choices!

Yeah my CTR isn’t my daily. I got a 1999 Accord, and normally bring the CTR out on Fridays and Sundays as long as the weather is great lol.
