Can You Use Ceramic Spray on Glass, Trim, or Wheels?
Ceramic sprays are known for protecting paint, but what about the rest of your car?
Good news—high-quality ceramic sprays like Tough As Shell can safely be used on more than just painted panels.
Let’s break down how and where to apply it for full vehicle protection.
1. Glass (Windows and Windshield)
- ✅ Boosts water-beading and visibility in rain
- ✅ Makes glass easier to clean
- ✅ Reduces bug splatter buildup
How to apply: Clean the glass thoroughly, then mist a light layer of Tough As Shell onto a towel and wipe across the surface. Buff off immediately with a second microfiber.
2. Plastic and Rubber Trim
- ✅ Prevents fading and UV damage
- ✅ Helps repel water and dust
- ✅ Restores a slightly darkened, OEM look without streaks
Pro Tip: Use Everyday Microfiber Towels to apply and buff clean without lint or buildup.
3. Wheels (Painted, Clear-Coated, or Powder Coated)
- ✅ Adds a slick surface to help repel brake dust
- ✅ Makes future cleaning much easier
- ✅ Enhances gloss on coated finishes
How to apply: Make sure the wheels are cool and clean. Apply Tough As Shell with a towel—not directly onto hot or dirty wheels. Let it flash for a few seconds, then buff off.
Where Not to Use It
- ❌ Windshield wiper blades (can cause chatter)
- ❌ Bare, uncoated matte finishes (check in a small area first)
- ❌ Cloth convertible tops (not made for fabric surfaces)
