SWAG Ceramic Line – SiO₂-Based Paint Protection, Shampoo and Dressing in One System

SWAG Ceramic Line is a product range built around silicon dioxide (SiO₂) that provides hydrophobic effect, colour depth and protection against UV, road salt and contaminants. The range covers the full chain – from quick spray-on coating and gel-based wax to plastic dressing, touchless conservation coating and ceramic shampoo.

This guide covers the products in the SWAG Ceramic Line, what SiO₂ technology means and which products suit different applications.

What is SiO₂ technology and why does it matter?

SiO₂ (silicon dioxide) forms an invisible, chemically bonded film on the surface that provides three key properties:

  • Hydrophobic effect: Water forms beads that roll off the surface and carry dirt with them – a so-called self-cleaning effect. This reduces the risk of water marks and mineral deposits.
  • Chemical resistance: The SiO₂ layer protects the clear coat against road salt, bird droppings, tree sap and acid rain.
  • Gloss and colour depth: The technology enhances the paint's natural depth and produces a wetter, clearer shine – especially on dark paint colours.

Unlike traditional waxes that sit on the surface and wear off gradually, SiO₂ bonds chemically to the clear coat. The result is longer durability and stronger protection.

The products in SWAG Ceramic Line

SWAG Ceramic Coat Reloader UV – ceramic spray coating


A quick ceramic coating in spray format applied directly to clean paint. Provides immediate hydrophobic effect and UV protection. Works as a maintenance product between deeper treatments or as a standalone quick protection. Available in 250 ml and 500 ml.

Application: Spray onto clean, dry or lightly dampened paint. Spread with a microfibre cloth and buff with a second clean cloth.

SWAG Ceramic Wax Coat Gel UV – gel-based ceramic coating with UV torch

A gel-based SiO₂ coating that combines ceramic protection with the gloss properties of wax. Supplied with a UV torch that shows where the product has been applied – ensuring even coverage without missed areas. Available in 250 ml and 500 ml.

Application: Apply with an applicator pad, spread in thin, even layers. Check coverage with the UV torch. Buff off after 5–10 minutes with a soft microfibre cloth.

SWAG Ceramic Plastic Tire Dressing Coat – ceramic dressing for rubber and plastic

A gel-based dressing with SiO₂ for tyres, wheel arches and unpainted plastic trim. Restores blackness, protects against UV fading and provides a hydrophobic effect that repels water and dirt. Available in 250 ml and 500 ml.

Application: Apply with an applicator pad to clean, dry surfaces. Allow to dry and buff off any excess.

SWAG Ceramic Hydro Coat Concentrate – touchless SiO₂ conservation

An SiO₂ concentrate applied after washing without any contact with the paint. The product is sprayed onto the wet surface and rinsed off – it bonds to the paint during rinsing and leaves a hydrophobic protective layer. 500 ml.

Application: Spray onto wet paint after the final rinse. Allow 1–2 minutes of dwell time and rinse off with water. Dry with a drying towel.

SWAG Ceramic Coat Shampoo – hydrophobic SiO₂ shampoo

A car shampoo with SiO₂ that cleans and adds a ceramic protective layer with every wash. Produces rich foam, dissolves dirt effectively and leaves a hydrophobic surface after washing. 500 ml.

Application: Mix with water in a wash bucket (follow the manufacturer's dilution ratio). Wash with a wash mitt and rinse off. The ceramic protection builds up gradually with regular use.

Frequently Asked Questions About SWAG Ceramic Line (FAQ)

What is the difference between SWAG Ceramic Coat Reloader UV and SWAG Ceramic Wax Coat Gel UV?

SWAG Ceramic Coat Reloader UV is a spray coating that is applied quickly and works as a maintenance product or standalone quick protection. SWAG Ceramic Wax Coat Gel UV is a gel-based coating that provides deeper protection and stronger gloss. The gel is supplied with a UV torch that shows where the product has been applied, ensuring even coverage. The spray version is fastest, whilst the gel produces the best results for more thorough treatments.

Can SWAG Ceramic Hydro Coat Concentrate be used as the sole paint protection?

Yes, SWAG Ceramic Hydro Coat Concentrate works as standalone protection. The product is applied touchlessly to wet paint after washing and rinsed off – it bonds SiO₂ to the paint during rinsing. The protection builds up stronger with regular use. For maximum protection it can be combined with SWAG Ceramic Wax Coat Gel UV as a base layer and Hydro Coat as maintenance between treatments.

Does SWAG Ceramic Plastic Tire Dressing Coat work on all types of plastic?

Yes, SWAG Ceramic Plastic Tire Dressing Coat is formulated for unpainted and textured plastic trim as well as rubber. It works on tyre sidewalls, wheel arches, bumper trim, door handles and other unpainted plastic mouldings. Apply to clean, dry surfaces with an applicator pad. Avoid application on painted surfaces or glass. The product's SiO₂ content provides a hydrophobic effect that repels water and dirt between washes.
