Fireball Coatings Deep-Dive: Every Wax, Sealant & Ceramic Coating (2026)
Fireball (파이어볼) is a Korean detailing brand whose coating range spans, from least to most durable: paste waxes (6–8 weeks) → spray waxes → SiO2 sealants (3–6 months) → spray-on ceramic toppers (6 weeks–1 year) → durable wipe-on ceramic coatings (2–10 years), plus dedicated wheel, marine and glass coatings. This guide breaks the whole catalogue down by sub-category and, for each product, gives its durability, hardness/SiO2/Ti where a source states it, and where it sits in the line.
How the numbers are sourced (read this first). Fireball's official Korean pages publish only descriptions and 5-bar ratings — they rarely state weeks/years or SiO2%. Those figures come from overseas distributors (UK, Germany, USA, Canada, Australia), which sometimes disagree between regions. Where sources conflict we show both; where no source states a value we write "not stated" rather than guessing. Treat marketing year-claims as best-case, professionally-applied durability, not a guarantee.

Paste / Show-Car Waxes (고체왁스)
Hand-crafted artisan paste waxes on a Brazilian T1 carnauba base, most infused with SiO2 for extra durability. The standard life is 6–8 weeks; only Fusion claims up to 12 months (with a booster). Official Korean pages publish only 5-bar ratings — the carnauba % and weeks come from overseas distributors and sometimes conflict between regions.
| Product | Durability | Hardness·SiO2·Ti | Key traits | Use / notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Candy Sherbet | 6–8 weeks | 33% T1 carnauba + interlocking SiO2 | Founder's favourite — the most balanced, no-weakness all-rounder | all colours · easiest pick to start |

Spray / Liquid Waxes (스프레이·물왁스)
Spray-on maintenance waxes — the lightest, shortest-lived tier. They sit over a wax or coating to refresh slickness and beading rather than replace a coating.
| Product | Durability | Hardness·SiO2·Ti | Key traits | Use / notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Show Car Wax Duke (Shoka) | not stated | silicone oils + SiO2 + graphene | Shoka's first liquid wax — slickness + super-hydrophobics, spray-on/wipe-off | topper over coatings / maintenance |
| Carnauba Wax (spray QD) | extends wax life +3–6 weeks per application | high carnauba + SiO2 boost | Quick-detailer spray wax, repels dust/dirt, safe on paint/PPF/coating | topper + maintenance |
SiO2 Sealants (실런트)
Synthetic SiO2 sealants — longer-lasting than wax (≈3–6 months), shorter than a durable ceramic coating. Usable standalone or as a topper.
| Product | Durability | Hardness·SiO2·Ti | Key traits | Use / notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TANK 2024 | LSP 5–6 months, hydrophobics 3 months (per maker) | SiO2 emulsion (% not stated) | Hardened hydrophobic layer, doubles as a drying aid | standalone sealant / drying aid · avoid glass |
| Grace | 3–6 months per retailers (maker not stated; one source says 4–8 wk) | SiO2 (high content, % not stated) | Anti-static dirt-repelling sealant, silky-slick, deepens colour; 2h cure | standalone or topper over coating |
Spray-On Ceramic / Toppers (뿌리는 유리막·세라믹 토퍼)
SiO2 / polysilazane spray ceramics — from a rinse-off wash booster up to a 1-year polysilazane topper. Easier to apply than a wipe-on coating; some are standalone, some are toppers to extend a base coating.
| Product | Durability | Hardness·SiO2·Ti | Key traits | Use / notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Typhoon | 1 year (maker) | polysilazane; >70% Si & SiO2, ~2.5% Ti (per fireball.au) | Polysilazane topper — extreme slick/hydrophobic/self-clean (trades some gloss & durability) | mostly a topper over existing ceramic |
| Easy Coat | up to 3 months (review sources; maker not stated) | SiO2 concentrate gel, dilute 1:15–1:25 | Spray-on, rinse off within 30s — gloss + hydrophobic wash booster | lightest protection / refresh |
| Pirouette | real-world ~6 weeks (per retailer) | >5% SiO2 + micro-silica + polymers | SiO2 spray coating/QD, glass-like finish, anti-staining; 2h cure, wet/dry | standalone + topper (incl. wheels) |
| MAUI | not stated | hybrid ceramic, Superlink (% not stated) | Forgiving spray ceramic — long 4–5 min buffing window (trades a little slickness) | beginner-friendly standalone spray ceramic |
Durable Ceramic Coatings (유리막 코팅)
Wipe-on professional ceramic coatings, the durable tier — from 1–2-year entry/DIY coatings to the 10-year dual-layer flagship. Two honesty caveats: (1) Korean and overseas distributors publish very different SiO2% for the same product (e.g. Dok Do 70–80% KR vs >92% overseas) — both are shown. (2) Fireball USA's 2025 'FuzionLock/IGNITE' relaunch reuses some names (FX88 Graphene, Eternity Graphene, Flash) as separate next-gen products; those years are NOT attributed to the Korean products, which leave durability unstated.
| Product | Durability | Hardness·SiO2·Ti | Key traits | Use / notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dok Do | 10 years (warranty) | exceeds 9H; SiO2 >92% overseas (base 90.5 + top 91), Ti 2% — KR distributor lists 70–80% (conflict) | Dual-layer flagship — industry-leading SiO2, ultra-hard base + chemical-resistant top | installer-only (hand-picked) |

Wheel / High-Temperature Coatings (휠·고온 코팅)
Ceramic coatings built for wheels, calipers and hot metal — heat resistance matters more than paint gloss here.
| Product | Durability | Hardness·SiO2·Ti | Key traits | Use / notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Glass Coating (글래스·유리 코팅)
A water-repellent coating that bonds to glass for rain visibility — surface prep (IPA degrease) decides the result.
| Product | Durability | Hardness·SiO2·Ti | Key traits | Use / notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glass Shield | 6–12+ months | SiO2/Ti/hardness not stated; cure 10–15 min / 2–3 h / 24 h | Windshield/glass water-repellent — bonds (etches) to glass, rain visibility | windshield & vehicle glass · IPA prep required |
How to choose a Fireball coating
- Just want gloss for a show or weekend? A paste wax — Candy Sherbet (most balanced) or Liberty (easiest to apply). Black/Graphene for dark cars, White for white cars.
- Low-effort protection for a few months? A SiO2 sealant (Grace, Tank 2024) or the easy spray ceramics (Easy Coat, Pirouette, MAUI).
- Multi-year coating, DIY? Aegis (2 yr), Angel Tears, Nano Coat v2 Pro, Red Eye or Wizard (near fail-safe).
- Maximum durability, professional install? Butterfly (7 yr), Butterfly Graphene (8–9 yr), or the Dok Do dual-layer (10 yr). Silla for salt/chemical exposure.
- Wheels: Talon (heat) or Raptor. Glass: Glass Shield. Boats: Theseus / Triton (+ Wave topper).
FAQ
How long do Fireball ceramic coatings actually last?
Maker-stated durability ranges from about 1–2 years for entry/DIY coatings (Aegis 2 yr, Red Eye 2 yr) up to 7 years (Butterfly), 8–9 years (Butterfly Graphene) and 10 years for the dual-layer Dok Do. These are best-case figures for correctly prepped, professionally applied coatings; real-world life depends on prep, wash habits and environment.
What's the difference between a Fireball wax, sealant and ceramic coating?
Waxes (carnauba paste/spray) last weeks and give warmth/gloss; SiO2 sealants (Grace, Tank 2024) are synthetic and last a few months; durable ceramic coatings (Butterfly, Dok Do, etc.) chemically bond and last years. Spray ceramics like Pirouette or Typhoon sit in between as standalone protection or as toppers that extend a base coating.
Which Fireball wax is best for black cars?
Black Wax is formulated specifically for black and dark paint (sharp charcoal wet gloss, superhydrophobic). Graphene Wax also deepens dark colours and adds heat resistance. For white/light paint use White Wax.
Why do Fireball's SiO2 percentages differ between sites?
Fireball is sold through regional distributors that publish their own spec sheets, and the 2025 Fireball USA 'FuzionLock' relaunch re-versioned several coatings. So the same name (e.g. Dok Do, Butterfly) can show 70–80% SiO2 on a Korean page and >90% overseas. We list both figures and never merge them into one number.
Can I apply Fireball coatings myself?
Some are DIY-friendly (Angel Tears, Nano Coat v2 Pro, Aegis, Red Eye, Wizard); the flagships are installer-restricted — Dok Do is hand-picked-installer-only, and Artisan/Eternity are Fireball Master exclusives. Marine coatings (Theseus, Triton) are also certified-installer-only.
