PRIME IT. MAINTAIN IT.

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

1. Run Slick Back on an HDO orange foam pad to polish out light imperfections in the coating.
2. Follow with Relock to keep full surface protection. This is how we maintain coatings, usually once a year.

Prep before a fresh coating

1. 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.
2. 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.
