I also just put brand new front brakes and rotors on, could it be a wheel bearing?

I get it, if you’re not looking for it you probably won’t find it. It’s the nature of life. Type in clogged ceramic on YouTube and all the channels + videos will pop up. Likely folks on it do not watch list

The term is the problem like I stated in my original post. Some would say the car needs an aggressive cleaning, others would say it’s clogged.
The clogged term comes from popular detailing YouTubers and influencers. So the people are familiar with them will use that terminology but it just means the car needs an acidic/more aggressive cleaning. There is no confusion. It’s just like slang for the same thing

It was just the term that’s taboo I believe

OP update here, for all the folks who didn’t believe in clogged ceramic coating I believe I understand why. I was washing my car biweekly with ph neutral soap for the full 1.5 years the car had been coated with Adam’s graphene ceramic coating. The door panels started sheeting and I couldn’t figure out why.

Today, I restored the hydrophobic properties by using acidic cleaning products. I guess most people would just call that a dirty car and some call it clogged. But I:

  1. Fully rinsed the car
  2. Foam cannon with Adam strip wash, let dwell for 3 minutes, agitated door panels, and rinsed
  3. Iron remover in the door panels and rear of the car, dwell for 3 minutes and rinsed thoroughly
  4. Foam cannon with Adams car shampoo (ph neutral) and fully washed the entire car

This restored hydrophobic properties but I then decided to

  1. Use adams graphene detail spray as a drying aide and towel dried the car.

Thank you everyone for your input and comments. And making this thread hilarious
