 No. Ceramic coatings were developed in the early 2000s and have pretty much remained the same since. Relying on mostly water beading and easier to cleanse vehicles.

 Yes nothing protect better than Icon. Icon provides 300% more longevity in Salty/Humid environments than any other coating. ASTM B117 testing of Icon withstood 1000 hours with no visible change.
But (Premium Professional Ceramics) only withstood 350 hours 

While DIY ceramic coating kits are available, it is recommended to have a professional ceramic coating applied by experienced technicians. Professional application ensures proper surface preparation, even coverage, and optimal bonding for the best results.

 Icon is in a category of its own.  It’s the only corrective and protective coating on the market.  With ceramic, you must remove paint imperfections with a buff and polish process, which thins your clear coat.  With Icon we don’t wear down your paint; we apply the product, which corrects your paint and protects you in a one-step process that protects your paint for years! 

 In tests of tensile strength Icon Rocklear resists heavy damage when compared to any other coating on the market. It’s up to 63 microns of a hard protected surface brings you over 75x the strength when compared to other coatings in the world. Making it the only coating to help with resistance to heavy damage such as real world perils, rock chips, & actual car key scratches. 

 No, Icon is only applied at licensed facilities that have undergone installation training.  Icon Rocklear’s proprietary paint preparation and application method is a meticulous, top-secret, six-part process done in a virtually contaminant-free environment.

 Installing Icon Rocklear will take one day and be ready for pickup the next day.  It takes 30 days for the product to cure fully, but you can drive the vehicle during the curing process. Just don’t wash it for 7 days. This product cures no matter the temperature (-40° F or +100° F).

 Icon Rocklear is the most depth efficient coating on the market today. Certified Icon Rocklear technicians can achieve a 2.5 mil or 63 micron depth in a single application. Or for easy math, 35+ times thicker than a Ceramic or Graphene Coating. This eliminates the need for counterproductive paint correction / grind off of your precious protective clear coat as is necessary with Ceramic and Graphene Coatings. Icon Rocklear only adds protection! Ceramic Coatings are 1-3 microns thick. 

 That’s the great thing about Icon Rocklear.  Just wash with any soap and say goodbye to harsh chemicals, clay bars, etc. 

 No, this one-stop coating will protect your vehicle for ten years and possibly longer. But if you want to wax or put a ceramic topper on the vehicle you can; you have to wait 30 days for the coating to cure fully. 

 No, unlike ceramics this coating will last up to 15 years without return maintenance. It just requires on 18 month inspection to keep the warranty valid an that’s it! 

You should wait seven days before spaying or washing and only use light pressure as it takes 30 days for the product to cure fully.

 Never use a soft-touch automatic car wash or the foam brush at the DIY car wash, as these can still scratch your vehicle’s coating even when fully cured.  Contaminants can be on these brushes from the previous vehicles that were washed there. We always recommend washing the vehicle by hand (mitt & bucket method), but you can use a touchless car wash.  Nothing is harder than Icon Rocklear, but you can still scratch it; nothing is scratch-proof!
