Chemical Guys vs Jimbo’s Detailing – Who Makes the Better Ceramic Spray?
Chemical Guys is everywhere—but does their ceramic spray really perform? We put it head-to-head with Tough As Shell. The results may surprise you.
The Contenders
Chemical Guys HydroSpeed and HydroCharge are two of their most hyped ceramic sprays. But how do they stack up against Tough As Shell, a ceramic spray built by real detailers, for real results?
Ease of Use
- Chemical Guys: Multiple overlapping sprays, some require additional buffing, and may streak on dark paint.
- Tough As Shell: Spray, wipe, walk away. Works in sun or shade. No streaks. No guessing.
Water Beading & Longevity
- Chemical Guys: Nice beading up front, but drops off after 2–3 washes.
- Tough As Shell: Maintains sharp beading after 8+ washes and weeks of daily driving.
Finish and Protection
Chemical Guys sprays offer decent gloss but can feel grabby after application. Tough As Shell leaves a slick, glass-like feel that repels water and grime longer without feeling greasy or sticky.
What Customers Say
“I used Chemical Guys HydroCharge and had to reapply every two weeks. Switched to Tough As Shell—way easier, better results, and way longer lasting.” – Verified Buyer
The Final Verdict
If you're shopping for results—not brand hype—Tough As Shell wins across the board: better beading, easier to apply, longer protection.
