Can You Use Ceramic Spray on Car Seats or Upholstery? (Spoiler: Don’t)

You’re loving what ceramic spray does for your paint—and maybe you’re tempted to use it everywhere. But now you’re wondering: “Can I use ceramic spray on my leather or cloth seats for extra protection?”

Short answer: absolutely not. Ceramic sprays like Tough As Shell are made for exterior hard surfaces only—not for porous materials like leather, vinyl, or cloth.

Why You Should Never Use Ceramic Spray on Seats

Can cause discoloration or staining—especially on cloth or light leather
Creates slickness—a major safety hazard when driving
May damage interior coatings or finishes
Not designed for skin contact or breathable materials

What to Use Instead for Interior Seat Protection

Use a purpose-built interior protectant like Complete Cabin Cleaner. It’s safe for:

Leather seats
Cloth upholstery
Vinyl and synthetic interiors
Interior plastics and dash panels

How to Safely Protect Your Seats

Vacuum the surface to remove dirt and debris
Spray Complete Cabin Cleaner onto a towel (never directly onto the seat)
Wipe gently in overlapping sections
Buff with a dry towel for a matte, OEM look

Can You Use Ceramic Spray on Leather Trim?

No—especially if it’s soft-touch or dyed leather. It’s not designed to absorb or bond safely to those surfaces. Stick with interior-safe products only.

Testimonial

“I almost ruined my leather seats with a ceramic product I thought was safe. Complete Cabin Cleaner saved the day. Matte finish, no streaks, no smell—perfect.” – Serena H.

Exterior for Ceramic. Interior for Dedicated Care.

It’s tempting to treat your entire car with one product—but ceramic spray isn’t one-size-fits-all. Use Tough As Shell outside. Use Complete Cabin Cleaner inside. Your car (and your passengers) will thank you.
