Can You Layer Ceramic Spray for More Protection?

Does Layering Really Help?

When to Apply Multiple Layers
| Layer | When to Apply |
|---|---|
| First Layer | After wash and dry, on clean surface |
| Second Layer | After 12–24 hours (ideally indoors or covered) |
| Maintenance Layer | Every 4–6 weeks, or after every few washes |
How to Layer Tough As Shell the Right Way

How Many Layers Is Too Many?
