Relock Express Ceramic Coating
Keep Your Finish Locked Down.
Relock Express Ceramic Coating is the perfect entry-level ceramic coating for those who want real protection without the high cost or complex install process. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a pro detailer offering express ceramic coating services, Relock gives you a true polysilazane-based barrier - not just another water-based spray.
It forms a thin, hard, sacrificial layer on paint, glass, and chrome, making your vehicle incredibly slick and glossy while offering up to 12 months of durable ceramic protection.

Built for Real Life
Not every vehicle needs a $1,000+ paint correction and multi-year coating. At Stevens Detailing, we saw a real need—customers wanted lasting protection without the time and cost of paint correction. That’s why we created RELOCK. It’s a true ceramic coating you can apply right after a proper wash and decon—no polishing required, no perfection needed.
Perfect for express details, daily drivers, or your Saturday garage session, Relock is ceramic protection made simple.
Another Great Use for Relock
Relock is also a killer option for annual maintenance on ceramic-coated vehicles. Over time, even the best coatings can lose some slickness and hydrophobic behavior. Applying Relock helps rebuild the ceramic layer, restoring that just-coated feel and water behavior.
We call it “Relocking” - a yearly refresh that keeps coatings performing at their best.
At Stevens Detailing, we Relock our customers’ vehicles every year to maintain the protection and performance of their Shine Supply Beadlock Pro, Beadlock Marine or Beadlock Black ceramic coating.
How do you use Relock?
Directions:
Prep: Make sure the surface is clean and dry. We recommend always applying to a smooth surface that has been clayed so RELOCK can bond properly.
Application: Shake well. Apply Relock directly to a microfiber applicator pad and wipe onto the surface using overlapping passes. Product will have an “oil slick/rainbow” look to it as it begins to dry. This effect will begin within a few seconds. Give the product a minimum of 5-10 minutes depending on your environment to set up, then remove using a clean microfiber towel. Using an additional towel, wipe over the area again to ensure the product is even, streak-free and level on the surface.
- Relock works in both indoor and outdoor conditions. In direct sun, wipe-off time is quicker—closer to 5 minutes. Indoors, expect a longer setup—around 15 minutes. Always test a small section first to determine timing. Use a swipe test: if it wipes clear, it's ready. If it smears, give it more time to set up.
- For a quick gloss enhancement detail: Polish the vehicle with BURN OUT reconditioning cream and top with Relock for mind blowing slickness, shine and protection.
- To perform light defect repair on a ceramic coated vehicle: using a Dual Action polisher and a foam pad, polish the vehicle with our Slick Back primer polish. Wipe off the polish as you go. Once you’ve polished all the paint surfaces top with Relock express ceramic coating. This process removes light defects in the coating and then builds the coating surface back up - creating more gloss, slickness and protection.
FAQ's
- Q - How many vehicles can you coat with a 4 oz bottle?
- A - You should get 6-8 vehicles depending on size
- Q - Can you apply to gel coat; boats, wave runners, etc?
- A - Yes, works excellent to reload a surface that Beadlock Pro Marine has been previously applied to.
- Q - Can you apply to black trim?

- Q - Can you apply multiple coats? And how many?
- A - Heck ya you can! Make sure you wait (1) hour in between coats.
- Q - When is the coating dry?
- A - Coating is dry within (1) hour of application.
- Q - When is the coating fully cured?
- A - Coating is fully cured and hardened after 8 hours (overnight). It's best to avoid water contact during this period if possible. If water contact happens, make sure you dry the vehicle to avoid any water spotting.
- Q - Can you still get swirls and will you still get water spots?
-
A - Ceramic coating is harder than your vehicle’s clear coat, offering superior protection against swirls and water spotting. But let’s be clear - it’s not invincible. Improper care or neglect can still lead to visible damage over time. To protect your coating’s appearance, always follow proper washing methods (see our care diagram) and stick to the recommended maintenance schedule.
If your vehicle gets hit with light rain or sprinkler water, wipe it down with Eco Shine waterless wash as soon as possible. This prevents minerals in the water from drying on the surface and potentially etching into the coating.Proper care = maximum protection and lasting shine
