McLaren Car Care Ceramic Wash: Maintaining Ceramic Coated Vehicles
by Reece @ DIIf you are invested in a ceramic coating for your car, using the right products to preserve its finish is crucial. I recently used the McLaren Car Care Ceramic Wash on my already coated vehicle and it exceeded my expectations.
Designed for Ceramic Coatings
What sets the McLaren Ceramic Wash apart is that it is specifically formulated for vehicles with ceramic coatings. This made it a perfect fit for my car, as I wanted a product that would not degrade the protective layer. Instead, the wash worked in harmony with the coating, reinforcing protective properties while also enhancing the gloss and slickness of the surface.
Effortless Application with Noticeable Results
The application was straightforward, pretty much just like any other car shampoo. I mixed it with water, applied it with a wash mitt and it foamed up nicely. While gliding the mitt across the surface I did notice that it provided the ideal amount of lubrication, preventing potential scratching or wash induced imperfections. After rinsing, the results were impressive. My car not only looked clean but also retained the hydrophobic properties of the ceramic coating, with water beading off the surface effortlessly. This made drying a much quicker process, and I noticed a subtle boost in the performance of the coating.
Gentle Yet Effective
One of the standout qualities of this product is how gentle it is on the ceramic coating while still being highly effective at removing dirt and contaminants. It left my car clean, glossy, and streak-free. The wash leaves the surface feeling smooth and looking refreshed, preserving the high gloss finish of existing coating layers.

Overall
The McLaren Car Care Ceramic Wash is an excellent product for anyone serious about maintaining the longevity and appearance of their ceramic-coated vehicle. It is easy to use, provides outstanding results, and enhances the hydrophobic properties that make ceramic coatings so desirable. After each wash, my car feels rejuvenated, looks shinier, and the ceramic protection seems better preserved.
It’s an excellent product, glad you liked it as well!
Can you use this product with ppf and ceramic coated vehicle. Thanks
Charles – You can use Ceramic Wash over existing coating or PPF layers. The only time I would caution is with matte paint, ppf or vinyl wrap. In those instances, I would recommend a matte specific product for best results.
