    you will be fine a ph neutral soap and quality wash media. Best to have multiple wash media and not to reuse. Nothing special other than minimizing swirls.

    I like to use CARPRO Reset with a microfiber wash mitt and a 2 bucket method with a grit guard in the water bucket. Don't scrub the paint, just gently use the weight of your arm to wash in a back and forth motion, no swirls. I gently dry it with clean microfiber detailing towels, and then every few months after the wash I'll clean it with a diluted IPA solution and apply CARPRO Reload. Reload is great because its a silicon sealant that will extend the life of your ceramic coating. My truck is filthy in my profile pic, but still shines like a mirror. I didn't ceramic coat the camper shell or the plastic bumpers and you can definitely see the difference.
