What product/ spray do you use to clean and maintain your ceramic coating?

[tracer bullet]

I've been happy with the Adam's "Graphene Detail Spray". But I have a newish coating on the Z4 (DIY) so it is probably hard to tell which one is doing the job. It goes on and off easily and is a low enough % that you don't need to be too worried about leaving something behind that you didn't polish / buff / whatever you call it. I do still spray it on the towel down wind just in case.

I also started putting it on my X3 that has a bunch of Zaino on it, and can tell it beads water / snow is easier to remove longer than the Zaino itself ever did. I know you're not supposed to put one type over the other but for that car I don't care a ton and it has actually been working. I tried it as a test and am glad I did.

Typically I just use the normal car wash soaps but have a "strip wash" that you supposedly use once a year, but I haven't had the Z4 a full year yet so I'll give that a go this spring.

Clean vs. maintain are two separate questions / answers.

Clean - if the entire care is dirty - wash it. If only a section needs to be clean, I use waterless wash on a microfiber towel to wipe-off the dirt or bird poop.

Maintain - all brands have some sort of spray-and-wipe ceramic "booster" product, or "detail" spray. I used to stick within the brand family of the base ceramic coating product I had used on that car. So, since I started with Adam's on two cars, I also got Graphene CS3 (which is what Adam's rep recommended for maintenance).

For my McKeys and Gyeon coated cars - I either use the above, or another similar McKeys branded spray product I had bought (one or the other brand goes on sale ever so often). Frankly, they all seam to work the same, and are highly interchangeable.

I don't regularly "boost" any of the coatings, nor does the coating look or bead water any different in areas where spray was recently applied. To a large extent, "boosters" are a way to add recurring revenue after selling you the ceramic coating.

You can make your own Elixir. Carpro and most detailers are mostly water in their bottled products. So making your own cost considerably less.

Carpro Merlins Mixture there are a lot of results, people commenting on multiple combinations.

2oz Reload / 2oz Ech20 / 28oz Distilled Water.

Shouldn't use any spray on top of ceramic coating except to extend its life near the end, before you polish and coat again.

Use an iron x product periodically. Use good soap with no b.s. in it.

Nope. Just towels. But they're the best.
