How to Make Ceramic Spray Last Longer
Ceramic spray doesn’t have to wear off in just a few weeks. With a smart routine and the right products, you can extend the life of Tough As Shell and maintain incredible water beading, gloss, and protection for months.
1. Use a Ceramic-Safe Wash Soap
Harsh soaps and detergents strip protection fast. Instead, use a pH-balanced, ceramic-friendly soap like The Super Soaper.
2. Dry with a Soft, Absorbent Towel
Dragging old towels across your paint not only adds swirls—it can strip the ceramic layer. Use the Massive Drying Towel to safely pull water away without disturbing the coating.
3. Layer Ceramic Spray Strategically
- Apply a second coat 4–6 hours after the first for extra durability
- Reapply every 4–6 weeks as part of your wash routine
- Use light layers—more is not always better
4. Store Your Car Right
- ✅ Garage it when possible
- ✅ Avoid parking under trees or near sprinklers
- ✅ Rinse after rain to prevent mineral buildup
5. Spot Maintain Between Washes
Use a microfiber towel and light mist of Tough As Shell to touch up areas exposed to rain, bird droppings, or bug guts. This keeps the protection fresh and prevents buildup.
