Can Ceramic Spray Be Used on Wheels or Brake Calipers?
If you’re already using Tough As Shell on your paint, you might be wondering—can I use it on my wheels and calipers too?
Absolutely. In fact, wheels and brake calipers are some of the best places to use ceramic spray to cut down on brake dust and make future cleanings faster.
Why Ceramic Spray Works So Well on Wheels
- ✅ Creates a slick, protective barrier
- ✅ Repels brake dust and road grime
- ✅ Makes future washes much easier
- ✅ Adds gloss to painted or powder-coated wheels
How to Apply Ceramic Spray to Wheels
- Clean the wheels thoroughly using The Super Soaper or your favorite wheel cleaner
- Dry completely using a dedicated microfiber or air blower
- Spray Tough As Shell directly onto a towel—not the wheel
- Wipe onto the wheel face and barrel
- Buff off any excess with a second towel
Can You Use Ceramic Spray on Brake Calipers?
- ✔️ Yes—if the calipers are clean and cool to the touch
- ✔️ Works on painted or powder-coated calipers
- ⚠️ Avoid applying on a hot caliper or while the brakes are hot
How Often Should You Reapply?
Because wheels take more abuse than paint, we recommend reapplying every 3–4 weeks—or after every major wash.
Bonus Tip: Pair It With the Right Towels
Use older or wheel-dedicated Everyday Microfiber Towels to avoid contaminating your paint towels.
