How to Remove Crystal Coating?

If the crystal coating has not completely dried and crystallized, you can effectively remove it by wiping the car's paint surface with a wet towel. If it has already dried, the crystal coating will be difficult to remove, and you will need to seek professional help for polishing.

Last time the ceramic coating on my car failed, I spent some effort removing it myself. First, I used a polisher with medium-grit sandpaper to slowly sand a small area of the body, being careful not to be too aggressive to avoid damaging the paint. Trying a chemical remover also worked well—choose a mild, specialized product, apply it, wait a few minutes, and then wipe off the old coating. The whole process took several hours, and patience was key. Tools were easy to find, but full safety precautions were a must—wear gloves and goggles to avoid injury. After removal, the car's paint regained its shine, and it was best to add a new paint protection film or wax to give the car a fresh look. I recommend regularly checking the condition of the ceramic coating and addressing any issues early to avoid buildup and complications—saving both hassle and money.
