Best Cerakote Alternative for Real Paint Protection
If you’ve used Cerakote Rapid Ceramic Sealant and were left wondering why the results faded so fast—you’re not the only one.
That’s why more and more car owners and detailers are switching to a ceramic spray that actually performs in the real world: Tough As Shell.
Why Tough As Shell Is a Better Choice
- Longer lasting: Real-world durability of 3–6 months with proper prep
- Works on more surfaces: Paint, glass, trim, wheels, PPF
- Built by a detailer: Not just a marketing repack
- Pairs with real prep: Get even better results when used with The Decon Bundle
What Cerakote Users Are Complaining About
- “Fades after one or two washes”
- “Doesn’t hold up to real road grime or weather”
- “Looks good for a week—then gone”
The issue? Minimal prep instructions and a product that focuses more on speed than performance.
Tough As Shell Was Built for Detailers
It’s sprayable like Cerakote, but with longer-lasting chemistry, wider compatibility, and proven real-world results. Whether it’s a garage queen or a daily driver, Tough As Shell delivers ceramic slickness and protection you can count on.
The Prep That Makes It Stick
