The Truth About Paint Sealants vs Ceramic Coatings
Not all paint protection is created equal. This post clears up confusion between traditional paint sealants and modern ceramic coatings.
Durability: Which Lasts Longer?
Ceramic coatings like Tough As Shell last up to 12 months or longer, while most paint sealants top out around 3–6 months.
Gloss and Hydrophobics
Sealants offer gloss, but ceramic sprays give that candy-shell look with insane water beading.
Ease of Use
Old-school sealants require buffing. Spray-on ceramics take minutes—and no muscle.
Layering and Maintenance
Many people layer sealants over ceramic, but it's unnecessary with a high-quality ceramic spray. Just reapply every few months as needed.
