When it comes to car waxing, most people think of a nice, smooth finish. But what about those cars with ceramic coating? Can you wax them? The short answer is yes, you can wax a car with ceramic coating, but there are some caveats that you should be aware of. In this blog post, we will explore the pros and cons of car waxing and whether or not it’s the right choice for your vehicle.
What is Ceramic Coating
Ceramic coating is a layer of protective material that is applied to car bodies, windows, and other surfaces. The coating is resistant to corrosion, so it lasts longer than the underlying metal. Ceramic coatings are also very heat-resistant, which makes them perfect for use on cars that are regularly exposed to the sun and extreme temperatures.
Ceramic coatings are available in a variety of colors and designs. Some car companies have even started using ceramic coatings as the primary finish on their vehicles. While ceramic coatings cost more than traditional car paint jobs, they are worth the investment if you care about your vehicle’s long-term durability.

Once your wax is ready, use a polisher or an abrasive pad to remove the existing wax from the car. Start with the highest areas of the car and work your way down tothe base of the car. Apply wax in a circular motion to avoid streaking. After you have applied all of the wax, use a foam applicator to apply a layer of clear coat over top of it. Allow this layer to dry before finally applying your final coat of wax.
