Cerakote Rapid Ceramic Sealant Review
Cerakote Rapid Ceramic Sealant is marketed as a quick and easy way to get ceramic protection on your car in minutes. We tested it to see how well it actually performs in real-world conditions—and how it stacks up against other ceramic sprays.
What Cerakote Promises
According to Cerakote, this spray sealant offers:
- Instant hydrophobic protection
- High-gloss shine
- Simple spray-on, rinse-off application
- Durability that lasts months
Our Testing Process
We applied Cerakote Rapid Ceramic Sealant to multiple vehicles—some daily drivers, some garage-kept—and evaluated:
- Ease of Application: Following the rinse-off method as directed
- Gloss Enhancement: Visual depth after application
- Durability: Longevity of water beading and slickness
- Surface Compatibility: Performance on paint, trim, and glass
Results
- Application: Very quick—ideal for those who want minimal effort.
- Gloss: Noticeable improvement, though slightly muted compared to wipe-on sprays like Tough As Shell.
- Durability: Strong beading for the first 4 weeks, then gradual decline over the next month.
- Surface Safety: Worked well on paint and trim, but glass performance was average.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Extremely fast application | Shorter lifespan compared to premium sprays |
| Good hydrophobic effect initially | Gloss not as deep as wipe-on ceramic sprays |
| Beginner-friendly | Performance fades faster in harsh climates |
Our Verdict
If you want a super-fast ceramic spray application with decent short-term results, Cerakote Rapid Ceramic Sealant is a good choice. But if your priority is long-term protection and richer gloss, Tough As Shell remains the better investment.
