Does Ceramic Spray Protect Against UV Damage?
Everyone loves a glossy finish—but protection is what really matters.
So, here’s the big question: Does ceramic spray actually protect your paint from sun damage?
Yes—when applied correctly, a high-quality ceramic spray like Tough As Shell forms a thin UV-resistant shield on your car’s paint, trim, and glass.
How the Sun Damages Paint
- ☀️ UV rays break down the clear coat over time
- ☀️ Fading, oxidation, and chalky finishes are common in neglected cars
- ☀️ Heat accelerates damage, especially in dry, sunny climates
How Ceramic Spray Helps
Tough As Shell is made with SiO2 technology that creates a water-repelling, heat-resistant, and UV-blocking barrier.
- ✅ Reflects UV rays to minimize paint breakdown
- ✅ Keeps dark-colored cars from fading and hazing
- ✅ Protects trim and plastic from drying and discoloring
- ✅ Helps maintain gloss, slickness, and clarity
Customer Testimonial
“Living in Phoenix, the sun absolutely destroys paint here. I’ve been using Tough As Shell for the last 6 months and my black truck still looks like it was just detailed. It holds up to brutal summer heat better than anything I’ve tried.”
— Erick T., Verified Customer
Where to Apply for Best UV Protection
- Hood, roof, and trunk – highest sun exposure
- Door panels and mirrors – vertical panels fade too
- Plastic trim and cowlings – often overlooked but sensitive to heat
- Windshield and side glass – helps reduce water spots and UV haze
How to Maximize the UV Protection
- Wash with The Super Soaper
- Dry completely with the Massive Drying Towel
- Apply 1–2 sprays of Tough As Shell per panel
- Buff in and off with an Everyday Microfiber Towel
- Reapply every 4–6 weeks for max protection in summer
