A coated vehicle still needs routine care; coating makes maintenance easier, not optional. Regular washing and prompt removal of contaminants like bird droppings or tree sap are still part of keeping a coated finish looking the way it should.

Treating coating as a maintenance-free upgrade is the most common misstep owners make after booking it.
