From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“SDS §2 classifies the mixture as Not Classified. No H319 or H318 at the mixture level (H315 and H319 appear at the ingredient level for the aminosiloxane but do not propagate to the mixture per SDS §2 and §11). SDS §8 specifies eye protection as a precautionary measure. Situational tier applies for overhead application on roof panels or applicator splatter risk.”

This product ranks #2 of 6 in PPF / Vinyl Coating.
Last reviewed June 29, 2026
TL;DR Compatibility is manufacturer-confirmed on XPEL's own film only, not verified on LLumar, SunTek, or Avery Dennison. Strong hydrophobics well-reviewed by owners. The near-zero flash window ("wipe immediately before it dries") requires high-tempo, section-by-section work.
Ceramic Boost is a water-based spray topcoat for PPF, glass, wheels, vinyl, and chrome. XPEL designed it specifically for their own film lineup, naming XPEL Fusion Plus as the intended pairing; no independent installer data on LLumar, SunTek, or Avery Dennison has been found. Application is spray-and-wipe: mist onto a cool, clean, dry panel out of direct sunlight and buff immediately. No durability figure is stated on the product. Community reviews confirm strong initial hydrophobics but PPF-specific long-term follow-up has not been found. The near-zero flash window requires working one small section at a time.
Best for XPEL film owners who want a spray-on hydrophobic topcoat within the XPEL ecosystem and are comfortable working in small, fast sections. Skip it if your car has LLumar, SunTek, or Avery Dennison film; no community installers have documented results on those brands. Owners who need a stated durability figure or a forgiving flash window should look at PPF coating lines with explicit multi-brand certification.
The SDS classifies this mixture as Not Classified; no signal word, no GHS pictograms, no mixture-level H-codes. H315 and H319 appear at the ingredient level only and are not propagated to the mixture per SDS §11. SDS §8 specifies eye and skin protection as precautionary measures; all PPE tiers are situational. No PFAS (SDS §12.5). Water-based, estimated VOC below 50 g/L, CARB compliant. SDS §12 states not harmful to aquatic organisms.
The manufacturer explicitly states it is 'specifically formulated to work with XPEL's range of additional car paint protection films and coatings, such as XPEL Fusion Plus.' This confirms compatibility with XPEL's own film lineup. No independent installer or community data confirming compatibility on LLumar, SunTek, or Avery Dennison has been found as of 2026-05-19. For non-XPEL film brands, apply to a small test panel first and confirm with your installer.
The back-of-bottle directions state to 'wipe immediately before it dries,' meaning flash time is near zero by design. This is a spray-and-wipe format rather than a traditional wipe-on, buff-off ceramic coating. The near-zero flash window means you need to work in very small sections and buff immediately after application. It is less forgiving than coatings with a 2-5 minute flash window.
No durability figure is stated on the bottle or in the product listing. No independent community data confirming hydrophobic durability specifically on PPF at 6+ months has been found. The spray-and-wipe format is typically associated with weeks-to-months durability rather than multi-year ceramic coating durability. Community reviews reference use on PPF but without long-term film-specific follow-up.
The product listing compatibility infographic shows vinyl as a supported surface. However, no independent community data confirming vinyl wrap durability or bonding from non-sponsored testers has been found. The product is primarily positioned for PPF film. Confirm with your vinyl installer before applying.
No. SDS §12.5 confirms all ingredients are negative for fluorinated greenhouse gas classification. The formula is water-based with no fluorinated ingredients.
