CarbonX, Ultra Pro, and SH Lite are Revivify's three self-healing coatings, tiered by protection level: CarbonX is the strongest, carbon-reinforced top tier; Ultra Pro is the flagship self-healing all-rounder; SH Lite is the fast-cure entry option. All three are flexible elastomeric coatings — a self-healing alternative to rigid ceramic — and the right choice depends on the vehicle's value, how it's used, and how long you plan to keep it.

What is CarbonX best for?
CarbonX is the top tier, built on a graphite-infused, carbon-reinforced structure. It's the thickest and most durable of the three, with the deepest gloss and the strongest self-healing response. It's the choice for higher-value vehicles, show and enthusiast cars, and owners who want the longest service life and plan to keep the car for years. It's also used on marine and aviation surfaces where conditions are harsh.
What is Ultra Pro best for?
Ultra Pro is Revivify's flagship self-healing coating and the middle option. It uses elastomeric polymers rather than silica, so it flexes with the panel and self-heals light marring, with strong hydrophobic performance and durability that suits most daily-driven cars owners want to protect long-term. For a well-kept commuter or family vehicle, Ultra Pro is usually the practical sweet spot.
What is SH Lite best for?
SH Lite is the entry tier, a rapid-cure self-healing coating. It delivers the core benefits — flexibility, self-healing of light swirls, easier cleaning, added gloss — with a shorter service life than the tiers above and a faster turnaround. It suits leased vehicles, shorter-term keepers, secondary cars, or a budget-conscious first coating.
How do you choose between them?
Work from three questions:
- How long will you keep the car? Years and years — CarbonX. A few years — Ultra Pro. Under two, or a lease — SH Lite.
- How much is the vehicle worth to you? Higher value and emotional attachment push you up a tier.
- Where does it live? A car parked outside full-time in coastal sun benefits from the more durable tiers; a garage-kept weekend car can do well on a lighter one.
An installer can walk the car and recommend a tier after checking the paint. You can also compare the coatings side by side.
Does the tier change the prep work?
No. All three require the same foundation: wash, decontamination, paint correction, and panel wipe before application. The prep is what determines whether any of them bond and last, which is why a cheaper coating over proper prep will outperform a premium coating rushed onto uncorrected paint.
Revivify is a Huntington Beach company; its coatings are applied only by trained applicators.
FAQ
Are any of these ceramic coatings?
No. All three are flexible, self-healing elastomeric coatings, designed as an alternative to traditional silica-based ceramic coatings that can become brittle over time. CarbonX adds carbon-reinforced chemistry on top of that.
Can I upgrade from SH Lite to CarbonX later?
Yes, though it means removing the existing coating and re-prepping the paint, so it's more economical to start at the tier you actually want.
Which tier has the best self-healing?
CarbonX has the strongest self-healing response, followed by Ultra Pro, then SH Lite. All three self-heal light swirl marks with heat; the difference is in depth and durability.
Do all three carry the same warranty?
Coverage is tied to the tier and is registered through the installing applicator. Revivify's warranty program is being updated, so confirm current terms with your installer at the time of service.
