Hear what independent beta testers had to say after trying Armor Shield IX MAX:
VERY SATISFIED WITH THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND OVERALL END LOOK!
The coating more closely resembled other professional grade coatings I've used in shop applications.

Customer Reviews
The daily driver/kid hauler/soccer mom van is the ideal candidate for AK AS MAX. Stupid easy to use. Pricing is fair. Gloss and slickness are top notch. Water beads are nice and tight. Cant ask for anything more. Thoroughly satisfied with this product. Dale from customer service is great.
So easy to apply, looks amazing and cuts my wash time in half. Used half a bottle on our Escalade Sport. Going to use the other half on the Audi RS7. Thanks!
With this product it’s so slick you can fit your car into a dog house. I’ve used armor shield 9 and the max and have to say these guys are dialed in on product for the money. The ease of using and working the ceramic is simple. It’s like Franks Red Hot i put the Sh*t on everything!
I’ve used Avalon King from the beginning of my detailing business. I’ve kept it as more of a hobby so don’t do a ton of ceramic coating but when I do it’s always Avalon. Tried out their new Max Shield on my work truck, fathers truck, and a friends corvette which is incredible. Great shine, great water repellant, and super easy to clean the vehicles. Highly recommend, easy diy, great product
I’ve used the Avalon King Armor Shield IX previously and that was great and easy to use. I coated my Jeep Wrangler 4yrs ago and the coating is still holding up great. I pre-ordered the Armor Shield Max around Christmas 2023 and I applied it 2 months ago. It’s hard to believe this New Armor Max coating is even better, super glossy and slick as anything and amazing hydrophobic, not to mention super quick and easy to apply. You can’t go wrong with this product, order you some right away and you’ll be a believer instantly!!!!!
