Yes, System X®Ceramic Coatings should be thought of as adding another clear coat to the paint's surface. This new clear coat is glossier, chemical resistant, and harder than the original clear coat. System X®is a permanent coating in the same sense that the clear coat on your car is permanent. Eventually the clear coat will wear away over the years; its overall longevity depends on conditions, cleaning frequency, proper application, and maintenance.

System X®provides advanced gloss and protection over clear coats. The ceramic-bonded coating helps contaminants slide off easily, which gives them less time to eat into the surface. An added plus is the ease of cleaning your vehicle. An easy way to think of it would be that System X®is the equivalent of another, harder, glossier, self-cleaning clear coat layer.

For best results, the car should be washed on a bi-weekly basis to avoid excessive contamination build-up. Use only recommended mild soaps. Avoid high-volume brush-style car washes, high PH detergent style cleaners, and bug/tar removers. Avoid washing in direct sunlight to minimize streaking and water spotting. Wash from the top down, leaving the dirtiest sections for last to avoid cross-contamination.

Remove bird waste as soon as possible. Saturate the dropping with water then wipe off. Avoid scraping.
