    I use the following:

    1.Shine supply “shift” (soap)
    2. Shine supply “cool guy” for my ceramic coated rims
    3. Followed by leaf blower to get access water off
    4. Shine supply “punch it” which is a ceramic detailer

    I've been using Gyeon products mostly. Almost all of them are formulated to be ceramic coating safe. I can recommend their Q2M Bathe, Glass Cleaner, and Interior Detailer; all top notch. I also have used their WetCoat occasionally to maximize the hydrophobic properties.

    My general wash process is:
    1) rinse
    2) foam
    3) two bucket wash
    4) rinse
    5) microfiber dry

    I then use Adam's Matte Detailer spray to clean up any leftover spots. It's also great for quick touchups or fingerprints, and it won't leave a glossy finish like some detailers.

    I think I'll need to give the old leaf blower a try for drying next time!

    Good luck.

    Optimum No Rinse, black Optimum sponge, a nice microfiber to dry or blow it off.
