Why it works

APEX's best-selling spray product — now better than ever. The improved formula uses less dye for a cleaner, lighter finish while delivering the same polymer + silica protection.

Just spray on and buff off with a microfiber towel. In under 10 minutes your vehicle is sealed with a slick, hydrophobic layer that sheds water, dirt, and contaminants. Already running a ceramic coating? This refreshes and extends its water-beading with every application.

Works on every surface

Paint
Glass
Wheels
Plastic Trim

Heat-rated for wheels and safe on paint, glass, and exterior plastic trim. Use on a clean or lightly dusty vehicle — not a waterless wash or quick-detail substitute.

How to use

1. Wash and dry your vehicle.

2. Mist Spray & Seal onto one panel at a time.

3. Buff off with a clean microfiber towel.

4. Watch the water bead — done in 10 minutes.

Use it as a drying aid

Protect and dry in one step — save time on every wash. Instead of drying first and sealing after, you can lay down protection while the car is still wet.

1. Wash and rinse your vehicle as normal.

2. While the car is still wet, mist Spray & Seal lightly over the panel.

3. Dry with a clean microfiber towel as you normally would.

4. The sealant lays down as you dry — slicker finish, tighter beading, less time spent.

Because you're wiping the water off instead of letting it air-dry, it also helps prevent the water spots that minerals leave behind on a drying car.

Tip: Apply to a cool-to-the-touch vehicle and avoid direct heat or sun, or streaking can occur.

Why detailers reach for it

One product.
Every surface.

Polymer + silica strength
A genuinely durable seal that beads, sheets, and protects for up to 3 months — not a wipe-and-gone gloss spray.
Good on paint, glass, wheels & trim
One bottle handles the whole vehicle. Heat-rated for wheels and safe on every exterior surface — no separate products for each material.
Boosts your ceramic coating
Layer it over an existing coating to refresh the hydrophobics and extend its life with every application.
Doubles as a drying aid
Spray it on the wet car and wipe down — you protect the paint, dry in one step, and help prevent the water spots that form as a car air-dries.
Effortless, foolproof application
Spray on, buff off. No high spots, no cure-time anxiety, no special conditions. Done in 10 minutes.
How it works

More than a shine spray

1
It's a surfactant-free micro-emulsion. Unlike spray waxes that sit on top and wash away, the formula carries cross-linking polymers and silica that actually bond to the surface.
2
The polymers cross-link as it dries. They knit together into a continuous, slick layer — tightening surface tension so water pulls into tight beads and rolls off.
3
Only active ingredients are left behind. What stays on your paint is genuine protection against UV, oxidation, and contaminants for up to 3 months.

Smells like juicy watermelon

You spend real time with this product — so it shouldn't smell like harsh chemicals. The watermelon scent makes the job genuinely pleasant and leaves your garage smelling fresh after every use.

Common questions

How long does it last?
Up to 3 months of protection per application as a stand-alone sealant. Most people use it more often as a drying aid after each wash, which keeps the beading and slickness topped up continuously.
Is this a ceramic coating?
No — it's a polymer and silica spray sealant, which makes it far faster and more forgiving to apply than a traditional ceramic coating (no curing, no prep panels, no high-spot anxiety). A ceramic coating lasts longer but takes hours and skill to apply. Spray & Seal gives you months of hydrophobic protection in 10 minutes — and it actually works as a booster over an existing ceramic coating.
Will it streak?
Not if you apply it right. Work on a cool-to-the-touch vehicle out of direct sun, spray sparingly one panel at a time, and buff with a clean microfiber in a cross-hatch pattern. Applying in the heat is the main cause of streaking.
Can I use it in direct sun?
Best to avoid it. Apply to a surface that's cool to the touch and out of direct sunlight — that gives you the cleanest, streak-free finish.
Does it work over a ceramic coating or wax?
Yes — it's a great ceramic booster. Layered over an existing coating it refreshes the hydrophobics and adds slickness, and each application deepens the finish.
How do I use it as a drying aid?
Wash and rinse as normal, then — while the car is still wet — mist Spray & Seal over each panel and dry with a microfiber towel. You seal and dry in one step, and wiping the water off helps prevent the mineral spots that form when a car air-dries.
What surfaces can I use it on?
Paint, glass, wheels, and exterior plastic and rubber trim. One bottle covers the whole vehicle — no separate products per surface.
Is it a waterless wash?
No. Use it on a clean or lightly dusty vehicle, or as a drying aid right after you rinse. It's not meant to lift heavy dirt like a waterless wash.

Amazing and easy

I bought a 2023 Chevy Colorado, and work in Oregon next to a cement plant. Lots of rain and mud in the winters too. I have been using the 2 bucket method about every two weeks or so and always dry using Apex Spray&Seal as a drying helper. It stacks without a mess on my ceramic coating. I spray and use a big microfiber drying blanket, using only its weight. This method has literally kept my truck looking like the day I drove it home brand new! I am very impressed by Alex and his great business, and highly recommend Apex products!

Matt, we absolutely love to hear this! Thank you so much for being a customer of ours. We hope to hear from you soon! If you have any other questions about maintaining the coating, please don't hesitate to drop us an email or text/call. We are always around!

Great detailing product

I’ve been using this stuff as a drying aid for the past year or so and it always comes out great. It helps a lot with streaking and is easy to use. The car also shines great when dry!
