Can You Use Ceramic Spray on Plastic Trim and Rubber?

Wondering if you can use ceramic spray on more than just paint? The answer is yes—and your trim and rubber seals will thank you.

Using a high-quality ceramic spray like Tough As Shell on plastic and rubber trim adds UV protection, repels water, and helps maintain that rich OEM look without greasiness or unwanted gloss.

Why Ceramic Spray Works on Trim and Rubber

UV Protection: Prevents fading and discoloration from sun exposure
Water and Dirt Repellency: Keeps trim looking cleaner, longer
Non-Greasy Look: Maintains that natural satin finish—not a fake plastic shine
Protection from Chemicals: Helps shield against road salts, car wash soaps, and bug residue

Where to Use It

Door moldings and window trim
Mirror housings and rocker panels
Plastic bumpers and fender flares
Rubber weather seals and gaskets

How to Apply Ceramic Spray to Plastic Trim and Rubber

Clean the area thoroughly using The Super Soaper to remove all dirt, dressings, or oils.
Dry the area completely with the Massive Drying Towel or microfiber towel.
Spray ceramic onto an applicator pad or microfiber towel—never directly onto the trim to avoid overspray.
Apply gently to the surface in even passes and let sit for 30–60 seconds.
Buff off with a clean towel to level the product and avoid dark splotches.

Can Ceramic Spray Restore Faded Trim?

Ceramic spray won’t fully restore faded plastic like a trim restorer would, but it can darken and revive the appearance while locking in the finish with long-term protection. If your trim is extremely faded, restore it first—then lock it in with Tough As Shell.

Is It Safe on Rubber Seals?

Yes. In fact, ceramic spray is great for weather seals and rubber trim because it helps prevent dry rot, UV cracking, and that chalky, white oxidation you often see on older cars.
