Can I apply a wax over the top of a ceramic coating?
I get this question a lot. I see this question posted elsewhere a lot.
Here's the question and the answer.

Yes.
There's no "law" against it but when you put ANY wax or sealant over an Si02 product you then get the benefits and features of the wax or sealant versus the Si02 product and that defeats the purpose of using the Si02 product because generally speaking, ceramic coatings offer MORE benefits.
Here's what I do - after installing a ceramic coating to one of my cars - after that I either do a waterless wash or I wash with the Wolfgang Uber Si02 Coating Wash. For a waterless wash I tend to use SONAX Glass Cleaner.
I don't apply a wax over the coating. I don't apply a sealant over the coating.
I DO periodically wipe the paint, glass, headlights and even rubber, vinyl and plastic trim down with the Pinnacle Black Label Surface Coating. Like I show here,
Coated under 15 minutes using PBL Surface Coating

Another really cool product.
Hope that helps...
