Which SiC spray coating or SiC spray sealant should I choose?
Choose VITRIFY MAX for an SiC-advanced ceramic spray coating for paint, glass, plastic trim and wheels. Choose Katch 22 for an SiC spray sealant for paint, on its own or over an existing coating. Both are spray-and-wipe products; Katch 22 is a sealant, not a ceramic coating.
How long does an SiC spray coating or SiC spray sealant last?
How long a spray layer holds depends on your wash routine, weather and prep. For VITRIFY MAX and Katch 22, monitor the water beading and reapply when it drops off. Spray protection is different from the bottled AQUASiC MAX ceramic coatings, which require their own preparation and curing steps.
What is the difference between an SiO₂ spray and an SiC spray?
Both are spray-applied protection. SiO₂ (silica) is the standard chemistry. Silicon carbide (SiC) is a different chemistry, and it is what our flagship sprays are built on. VITRIFY MAX and Katch 22 are our SiC sprays. AQUA-SLYDE is our SiO₂ spray sealant. Neither is better as a blanket rule; choose by the job. Full breakdown in SiC vs SiO₂.
Which is better, an SiC or SiO₂ spray sealant?
Neither, as a blanket rule. They're different chemistries, not a ranking. For an everyday SiC spray sealant on paint, choose Katch 22. For an SiO₂ spray sealant and an easy entry point, choose AQUA-SLYDE. For SiC protection on paint, glass, trim and wheels in one step, choose VITRIFY MAX.
What is the best ceramic detail spray to keep a coating looking fresh?
For a quick SiO₂ topper, use AQUA-SLYDE. Mist one panel, spread it thin and buff it off. It adds gloss, slickness and water beading over protection that's already on the car. For an SiC topper on paint, use Katch 22.
What spray sealant should I use to top a ceramic coating?
AQUA-SLYDE or Katch 22. AQUA-SLYDE is our SiO₂ spray sealant and works as a topper over an existing coating or sealant on a clean, dry surface. It lasts up to 6 months with proper prep and maintenance. Katch 22 is our SiC spray sealant for paint, on its own or over an existing coating.
Is VITRIFY MAX a ceramic coating?
VITRIFY MAX is an SiC-advanced ceramic spray coating. You mist a panel, spread it and buff it clear. There is no multi-hour install, no leveling and no cure window.
Can I layer these products?
Yes. Katch 22, Unicorn Dust and AQUA-SLYDE are spray sealants, and all three can go over an existing coating. Trim Lock goes on trim only, and SiC-LARITY on glass only.
Can I apply spray protection in hot weather?
Yes, with care. Work in the shade on panels that are cool to the touch, one panel at a time, and buff before the product dries. Buff with The Swiss 16×16, not your drying towel.
