Lithium Ceramic Slam vs Tough As Shell – Which Spray Coating Actually Lasts?

One promises “hydrophobic madness,” the other delivers real-world durability. Let’s put Lithium Ceramic Slam and Tough As Shell head-to-head and see which ceramic spray truly performs.

What Is Lithium Ceramic Slam?

Ceramic Slam is Lithium’s take on a sprayable ceramic coating. It's branded as “the craziest hydrophobic formula known to man,” but detailed specs are limited. Is it a sealant, a true SiO₂ ceramic, or just slick marketing?

What Is Tough As Shell?

Tough As Shell is a ceramic spray coating built with professional-grade chemistry. It’s designed to last months—not weeks—with:

✔ Legit water-beading and sheeting
✔ Deep gloss and slick feel
✔ Real-world longevity (weather tested)
✔ Easy application—no haze, no stress

Side-by-Side Performance Test

We tested both on daily drivers. Within the first wash, Ceramic Slam had already begun to lose its slickness. Tough As Shell kept repelling water, resisted grime, and looked freshly detailed for weeks.

Application Comparison

Ceramic Slam: Slight haze, harder to buff off, unclear how long it lasts
Tough As Shell: Spray on, wipe off—no haze, instant gloss, long protection

Which Is Better for Real Detailers?

While Lithium puts effort into creative branding, Tough As Shell is built to protect your vehicle in real-world conditions. If you want easy application, legit durability, and long-term gloss—this is the one to reach for.
