Ceramic Spray After Polishing – Should You Do It?
You just spent hours polishing. Want to keep that gloss locked in? Here’s when to use ceramic spray—and how to do it the right way.
Why You Need Protection After Polishing
Polishing removes:
- Defects
- Oxidation
- And any wax, sealant, or coating that was there before
That means your paint is exposed—and needs protection ASAP.
Enter: Ceramic Spray Coating
Tough As Shell Ceramic Spray is the perfect follow-up. It delivers:
- Hydrophobic protection
- Enhanced depth and slickness
- Up to 6 months of real-world durability
All without the hassle of a full coating install.
How to Prep the Surface for Ceramic Spray
- Finish polishing with Picture Perfect Polish
- Wipe the panel with an IPA or panel prep spray
- Spray 1–2 mists of ceramic spray onto a towel or panel
- Apply evenly and immediately follow with a clean towel to buff
Can You Skip the Ceramic Spray?
You can—but your polished paint will have no protection. If it rains the next day or you wash it the following weekend, you’ve lost much of the work you just did.
Final Thoughts
Polishing makes your paint look great. But ceramic spray keeps it looking great—for weeks or months at a time. It’s one of the easiest, fastest, and highest-return protection steps you can do after correction.
