Hybrid Ceramic Wash & Wax
Wash with SiO₂ protection boosterSituational specialist
A convenient maintenance wash for owners who want visible beading, but the added protection is counterproductive before correction or a different coating system.
The chemistry
Detergent surfactants clean while silica-containing protection ingredients deposit a water-repellent film during the rinse and drying stages.
Use it when
- Maintaining compatible ceramic protection
- Boosting water behavior during a wash
- A separate spray sealant step is undesirable
Compatible surfaces
- Gloss paint
- Compatible coated surfaces
- Finished exterior trim
Avoid or verify first
- Before polishing or coating prep
- Streak-prone application on hot panels
- Assuming the deposited film replaces decontamination

- 1Work on cool panels out of direct sun and pre-rinse loose grit.
