What shampoo should I use on a ceramic coating?

When I bought my Cupra Formentor a year ago it was treated with Gen3 ceramic. A bottle of their shampoo was supplied which I have now used up.

Can I safely use Meguiars Ceramic Wash and Wax? Although the wax is probably not required, as I have always liked their products or would it be better to order a new bottle of Gen3?

Maguires suggest that you can use Ceramic Wash or Ceramic Wash and Wax on a ceramic-coated vehicle, although it does suggest that using a wash and wax formula on a ceramic coating will affect the water beading, but that it will not damage the coating. It also suggests their Hybrid Ceramic Wash and Wax as an alternative. You do of course have the option of sticking with Gen3.
