Customer Spotlight: 3 to 4 Years Using Our Ceramic Spray in Phoenix Heat

[Suma Performance]

Wanted to share a recent customer review that stood out to us, especially for those asking about long-term durability on SUMA ceramic LINK.

This customer has been using our ceramic spray for the past 3 to 4 years on his truck, including paint, vinyl, and plastic trim, all in Phoenix heat.

That kind of environment is tough on any protection product, so feedback like this means a lot.

Here’s what he shared:

• Consistent protection even in extreme sun and heat
• Works across multiple surfaces (paint, trim, plastics)
• Maintains a clean, glossy finish over time

One thing we always emphasize — this isn’t a one-time “set it and forget it” coating.

It’s designed to be:

• Simple to apply
• Easy to maintain
• And reapplied as part of your regular wash routine.

For most people, that ends up being the sweet spot between performance and practicality. Appreciate customers like this who’ve been using it consistently over the years

Would love to hear from others here. How has your experience been with ceramic sprays in the long term?

Eddy, to answer your question, down here in blazing-hot Florida my experience hasn’t been very good with the products I’ve used, unless I applied them every month. It’s one of the reasons why we built a detached carport to park our Jeeps under - to protect them from the sun - very similar to the one in Joshua D‘s review photo.

Agreed, here on Maui it's similar. Have to keep up with any coating that is used, the sun and humidity here break things down quickly. We have lots of cars here with peeling paint.

Appreciate you sharing that. The constant humidity + UV combo tends to break things down a lot faster, especially if the vehicle is sitting outside 24/7.

And honestly, what you mentioned lines up with what we tell people—most spray ceramics aren’t “apply once and forget,” especially in harsher climates. Regular reapplication is key to maintaining that protection.

Smart move with the carport, too, that alone makes a huge difference!

Yeah, Maui’s no joke! Sun and humidity will break things down fast. The peeling paint is something we hear a lot from those kinds of climates.

Honestly, no ceramic spray or coating is magic in those conditions. They definitely help, but if a vehicle is sitting out all day, things like shade, carports, or covers make a huge difference in the long term.

The coatings just work best when they’re part of that overall approach and regular maintenance.
