AJS Ceramic Gloss: Our Best Selling Secret..

AJS Ceramic Detailer: A Simple Gloss Boost

If you remember this product as Ceramic Gloss, its new name is AJS Ceramic Detailer. Here is how to use it as a finishing step after washing, with practical advice on preparation, application and avoiding leftover residue.

The current Ceramic Detailer description focuses on adding gloss, colour depth and water beading to a vehicle exterior. It lists paintwork, clear coats, plastics, chrome and vinyl, subject to the product label. Checking the exact surface and instructions matters more than assuming that a product described as ceramic is suitable for every exterior material.

Begin with a clean, dry panel

Wash and dry the vehicle using products and methods appropriate for its finish. The Ceramic Detailer instructions specify starting with a clean, dry vehicle panel. Work on a manageable panel and check that its material appears on the product label before applying the spray.

The current listing describes a hydrophobic finish that encourages water beading and a smooth finish, alongside enhanced gloss and reflectivity. These are product description statements, not a promise of a particular protection period or a replacement for a professionally applied coating.

Apply lightly and buff with a fresh towel

The current instructions describe a straightforward application:

  1. Start with a clean, dry vehicle panel.
  2. Lightly mist the product onto the panel or a clean microfibre cloth.
  3. Spread it evenly across the surface.
  4. Buff with a fresh microfibre towel to remove residue and reveal the finish.

Follow the product label and check the surface is suitable before application. If the surface is unfamiliar, pause and ask the manufacturer or a qualified detailer rather than testing an unknown coating across a large area.

Which surfaces are listed?

The current product page lists paintwork, clear coats, plastics, chrome and vinyl, subject to the label. It does not establish suitability for glass or wheels in the sources gathered for this draft, so those surfaces are not recommended here. Always follow the instructions supplied with the current product.

A useful place in a wash routine

Think of a spray detailer as a finishing step for a clean surface. Applying a light, even layer and buffing with a separate clean towel makes it easier to see the result and catch any remaining residue. Keeping the routine simple also helps avoid confusing a gloss enhancing product with a full paint correction or a coating installation.
