How should I clean a car that has been ceramic coated?

I have recently replaced my car with the current one having been ceramic coated on the paintwork and wheels - Is there a preferred way to clean the car? I understand using a sponge could put fine scratches in the surface weather coated or not .

To maintain the protection of your ceramic coating we would suggest using a pre-wash foam, microfibre wash mitts rather than sponges, two buckets for washing (one for shampoo and one to rinse the wash mitt) and drying with a microfibre towel.
