System X Ceramic Coating Aftercare

Thank you for choosing Sydney Ceramic Coatings for your vehicle's protection. To get the most out of your System X ceramic coating, it's important to follow a few simple aftercare steps. Proper maintenance ensures your coating lasts for years and maintains its deep gloss and hydrophobic performance.

🕒 First 7 Days: Do's & Don'ts

• Do not wash the vehicle for 7 days — this allows the coating to fully cure.
• Avoid parking under trees or near construction zones to prevent contamination.
• If bird droppings or tree sap land on the paint, gently rinse with water and dab dry — do not wipe.

🚿 Ongoing Washing Tips

• Use the two-bucket method with a pH-neutral car wash soap.
• Never use automatic car washes — these can cause scratches and reduce coating life.
• Dry with a clean, high-quality microfiber towel to prevent water spots.
• Use a dedicated microfiber drying towel for coated surfaces only.

We recommend washing your vehicle every 2–3 weeks to prevent contamination buildup.

🧴 Recommended Products

• System X Renew – a ceramic-safe topper for extra slickness and protection.
• pH-neutral shampoos like Gyeon Bathe or CarPro Reset.
• Microfiber Madness Incredimitt and Dry Me Crazy towels for safe washing and drying.
