Thankyou. And i guess thats what happens when its not maintained. kinda disapointing. Its my first time dealing with a coating that was not cared for at all.

Re: 1st decon wash in almost a year!
I had a similar issue with a customer that I ceramic coated 3 of his vehicles with. All 3 are parked outside under
giant pine trees & eucalyptus trees. I get a text one day stating that he washed his cars and they weren’t beading well on the horizontal panels. After speaking with him I discovered he had not done any type of washing whatsoever in 6 months. BTW, he purchased wash mitts, Reset shampoo amongst so other products to do his own maintenance.
I tried a very aggressive decon and while it was better they still had a lot of tree sap embedded and baked in. Ultimately I ended up re polishing & coating the horizontal panels on all 3 vehicles & he was charged because the coating can’t go 6 months without any type of maintenance. Needless to say, he washes biweekly now.

Thanks for sharing your story. I try telling anyone that takes interest enough to either ask me about ceramic coatings or i install them for, that you should hand wash it atleast once ever 2 weeks. They need to be maintained to last, its not a smear it on and forget it product

Well said. Sadly, people think a ceramic coating makes their car impervious to harm. There's a detail shop local to me that basically makes it sound like that in their FB ads.
