Slick Back is our ceramic-infused polish, built to do two jobs. As a primer polish, it removes light imperfections, lays down a candy-like gloss, and deposits a layer of SiO2 that strengthens the bond with your ceramic coating. As a maintenance polish, it gently refreshes a ceramic-coated vehicle, clearing light defects and restoring clarity without compromising the existing coating.
Ceramic-infused: Polishes while depositing SiO2 that primes the surface for a coating.
Two jobs, one bottle: A coating-prep primer polish and a once-a-year maintenance polish for coated vehicles.
Candy gloss: Removes light imperfections and brings up a rich, glossy finish.
Pads we pair with it: The HDO orange foam pad.
Dual action only: Built for a DA on a foam polishing or finishing pad.
Not a compound: Slick Back lightly polishes a ceramic-coated vehicle without removing the coating. We reach for it on ceramic coating maintenance details.

How to Use
Maintain a coated vehicle
Run Slick Back on an HDO orange foam pad to polish out light imperfections in the coating.
Follow with Relock to keep full surface protection. This is how we maintain coatings, usually once a year.
Prep before a fresh coating
Use an HDO orange foam pad to polish out moderate haze. Apply 4 dime-size dots and work a 2 ft by 2 ft section at a time.
Because it primes the surface, skip the heavy wipe down. Throw Back is our IPA panel wipe, so do a light wipe with it to remove any heavy polish residue, then go straight to coating.
Detailer Tips
As a maintenance polish, always follow with Relock to maintain protection.
When prepping for a coating, use Throw Back as a light panel wipe so you preserve the primer layer.
Follow with Beadlock Pro or Beadlock Black ceramic coating for prep jobs.
Works on all paint types.

Slick Back saved the day! I had some high spots after using Marine Ceramic that this stuff just wiped away with minimal effort. I used Slick Back with a black polishing pad, by hand. Great stuff!
Made the paint look great gives it a little more pop while also taking care of some light imperfections, shine supply has some amazing products they don’t disappoint!!
Put it on my boat to take off water spots from a lake Powell trip. Worked great and the followed it up with Clutch. Just got back from a 5 day Powell trip and the water spots wiped right off with aftermath. Great products. Thanks Shine supply.
stumbled across this product online, searching for ways to get hard water sports off my shower glass. Unlike every other thing I tried, this removes it. Glass is now spotless. I used a buffing wheel and worked slowly and it's perfect now.
Will try on my car next.
Although mainly thought of as a primer polish, I've had great success removing scratches from coated vehicles with Slick Back. Paired with the right pad, it removed some fairly nasty looking scratches and scuffs with ease! A great product when you really don't want to get too aggressive on a car that's only recently been coated! Another winner from Shine Supply!
I used this for the first time yesterday as a prep polish for a ceramic coating. It was a pleasure to work with, zero dusting, effortless wipeoff and it left the paint nice and slick feeling. I used a Griot's Garage G21 and CarPro Gloss pads and got a great result. I skipped wiping the paint down with anything prior to applying my coating since it was so hot, I wasn't worried about curing too much. I will definitely not hesitate to use this product again on future jobs.
