We wanted to improve the application process even more so started with the application block. We added a liquid proof inner layer to massively reduce wastage, and then went with a less rigid block to allow better application on curved or smaller surfaces.



With the formula, we improved the gloss, hydrophobicity and slickness

• reduced the curing time from 24-48 hours to 4 hours.

• reduced touch dry time to 2 hours.

• increased base level of protection from 2 to 3 years

After 6 years of the original Armor Shield IX, we felt the technology had progressed enough to warrant an update and the company directors were eager to supplement their annual ‘sales’ meeting to the Bahamas.

MAX is safe to apply to: Pain, Rims, Glass and Trim.

1. Shake the bottle, then liberally apply drops to heavily saturate the applicator.
2. Wipe a tick layer across the car surface. Go horizontally, then vertically to ensure an even application.
3. Continue to spread in a cross-hatch pattern until you have completely covered the surface.
4. Let the coating sit until it flashes, then remove the residue by lightly buffing with the supplied towel.
5. Once done, proceed to apply and then buff the coating 1 body part at a time.

Look if you want the ceramic coating to do it’s job, you need to get the paint looking as good as possible. It’s not particularly difficult, but it can take a bit of labor.

1. Clean and decontaminate with AvalonKing's Ceramic Prep Shampoo & washmitt.
2. Smooth the surface with a claybar or clay towel.
3. Polish the surface (optional).
4. Remove any residue from old chemicals, soaps, or sealants with the AvalonKing Prep Spray.

THE DO'S ✅

• DO Prep Like a Pro: Wash, clay bar, and IPA wipe (isopropyl alcohol) your paint before applying. The cleaner the surface, the better the bond.
• DO Work in the Shade: Apply in a garage or a shaded area. A cool surface is mandatory.
• DO Work in Small Sections: Coat one panel (or half a hood) at a time (approx. 2x2 ft).
• DO Buff Off Completely: Wipe off the residue once the coating "flashes" (rainbow effect). Do not let it dry on the paint without buffing.
• DO Wait to Wash: Keep the car dry for at least 48 hours after application.

THE DON'TS ❌

• DON’T Apply in Direct Sunlight: The heat will cure the coating too fast, leaving streaks and high spots.
• DON’T Apply Over Wax: Armor Shield MAX needs to bond to clear coat, not old wax. Strip the paint first.
• DON’T Rush the Cure: Do not wash the vehicle with soap or chemicals for the first 7 days.
• DON’T Coat the Whole Car at Once: You won't have time to buff it off before it hardens.
• DON’T Panic: If you make a mistake (like a high spot), you can fix it. Just polish that spot and re-apply.
