Ideal for the rider who washes their bike properly and wants a fast, low-fuss way to add extra finish protection and make future clean-ups easier.
Shred Ceratek is a 250ml ceramic coat for riders who want more than a simple shine spray. It uses a polymeric silica blend with hydrophobic properties to leave a slick protective layer over paint, metal, plastic, rubber and glass, helping dirt and road film release more easily the next time you clean your bike.
In practical terms, this is the product we’d reach for when you want your frame and other exterior surfaces to stay looking newer for longer. The ceramic barrier is there to help with UV exposure, dirt and grime resistance, and that silky-smooth finish you notice straight away after buffing. It’s also a good fit if you’ve got a bike with a matte finish, because it’s designed to work with both gloss and matte surfaces.
Application is straightforward: start with a completely clean, dry bike, spray Ceratek onto a microfibre cloth rather than straight onto the bike, wipe it over the surface, then buff with a second clean cloth. Like other bike protection sprays and coatings in this category, the big real-world payoff is usually easier future washing and less dirt sticking in the first place. Just keep it well away from brake discs and calipers during use.

We use this polymeric silica ceramic coating to add a slick, protective layer that helps shield your bike from UV exposure, dirt and grime so it stays cleaner for longer.

Great for
Maybe not for
250ml bottle. Suitable for gloss and matte finishes and for exterior surfaces including paint, metal, plastic, rubber and glass. Apply only to a clean, dry bike using a cloth, and avoid brake discs and calipers to prevent contamination.
vs Muc-Off Ceramic Coating Kit
A more involved ceramic kit aimed at riders chasing a longer-term bonded coating. It includes prep and application gear, but the process is more time-consuming and requires curing time.
vs Gtechniq Bike Ceramic
A premium ceramic coating option positioned around a chemically bonding layer and extended protection. It’s a stronger step into detailing territory, with more focus on prep and long-term durability.
vs Peaty's Protect & Shine Spray
More of a finishing and shine spray with a protective silicone film. It’s especially popular for riders wanting gloss, easier cleaning and some extra smoothness on suspension and seals.
Best results come from prep
This sort of product works best on a thoroughly washed and fully dried bike. If there’s dust, cleaner residue or greasy fingerprints left behind, you won’t get the same smooth, even finish.
Apply to the cloth, not the bike
Using a microfibre cloth for application gives you better control, uses less product, and makes it much easier to keep overspray away from braking surfaces.
Think surfaces, not moving parts
Ceratek makes the most sense on frames, forks, rims and other exterior surfaces. It’s a finish protectant, not a replacement for proper chain lube or suspension-specific care products.
Matte-frame friendly option
A lot of riders with matte paint are cautious about shine products. This one is specifically suited to gloss and matte finishes, which makes it a safer choice for modern frame finishes.
