How to Maintain a Ceramic Coated Car
A ceramic coating makes a car easier to look after, but it doesn't remove the need for regular cleaning. Dirt, road film and other contamination will still accumulate on the vehicle over time. Washing the car regularly prevents that build-up from affecting the surface and helps maintain the finish and behaviour of the coating.
Washing a Ceramic Coated Car Properly
Good washing technique is particularly important once a vehicle has been coated. Using suitable products, a proper pre-wash and safe contact-washing methods helps clean the surface without unnecessarily marking the paintwork. Harsh chemicals and poor washing techniques are best avoided, while wheels, lower sections and areas that collect heavier contamination should still be given appropriate attention.
Keeping the Coating Performing Well
Over time, contamination can reduce the water behaviour and apparent performance of a ceramic coating even when the coating itself is still present. Periodic maintenance can remove this build-up and keep the protected surfaces working as intended. Vos Detailing offers valeting and detailing packages for ongoing vehicle care, making it straightforward to maintain the car properly after either our 2-year or 4-year ceramic coating has been applied.

No. Valeting is primarily cleaning and maintaining the car. Detailing covers more involved work such as decontamination, machine polishing, paint correction and ceramic coating, aswell as cleaning and/or restoring parts of the vehicle a valet simply would not touch.
-
It depends on the package, vehicle size and condition. A maintenance valet is quicker than a deep interior and exterior reset; the expected times are detailed on the detailing services price list above, and will be confirmed when booking.

Tell us the vehicle, where it is located and the condition it is in. We can point you to the appropriate valet rather than selling more work than the car needs.
