Can You Use a Ceramic Spray Coating on Glass, Trim, and Wheels?

Most people know ceramic sprays are great for protecting paint. But what about other areas of your vehicle—like glass, trim, or wheels?

Good news: Yes, you can use a ceramic spray coating like Tough As Shell on all of those surfaces—and in many cases, you should.

Here’s how and why to do it right.

✅ On Glass: Better Visibility and Easier Cleaning

Spraying Tough As Shell on your exterior glass makes water bead and roll off while you drive. It also helps keep bug guts, bird droppings, and road film from sticking.

How to apply:

Clean glass with a dedicated glass cleaner
Apply 1–2 light sprays of Tough As Shell to the glass
Spread with a microfiber towel and buff dry

Note: Don't use it on the inside of the windshield—only exterior glass.

✅ On Trim: No More Faded Plastics

UV rays and harsh weather fade plastic trim over time. Ceramic coating it gives you a rich, satin look while protecting it from oxidation and chalky buildup.

How to apply:

Wipe the trim clean with Complete Cabin Cleaner
Spray Tough As Shell directly onto the trim or onto a microfiber
Spread evenly, then buff off any excess

✅ On Wheels: Easier Brake Dust Cleanup

Your wheels take a beating—especially the fronts. Brake dust, road grime, and grease build up fast. Ceramic spray adds a layer of protection that helps keep them clean longer and makes rinsing a breeze.

How to apply:

Clean wheels thoroughly and dry
Spray Tough As Shell directly onto the face of the wheel
Spread with a microfiber towel and buff to a clean finish

Why It Works on These Surfaces

Tough As Shell uses the same core technology across the board: it bonds to surfaces, repels water and contaminants, and adds UV resistance. That makes it safe and effective for:

✅ Clear coat paint
✅ Plastic trim and rubber seals
✅ Wheels (painted, powder-coated, or clear-coated)
✅ Glass and mirrors (exterior only)

Bonus Tip: Use It After Every Wash

After drying your car, go panel by panel and apply Tough As Shell to all exterior surfaces. You’ll boost protection, maintain slickness, and make every surface easier to clean next time.
