A ceramic coating is a durable, liquid polymer that’s applied to a vehicle’s exterior, forming a protective layer that bonds to the paint and resists contaminants, making cleaning easier and enhancing shine. 

Ceramic coatings are typically made of carrier solvents, silicon dioxide (SiO2) and can also contain other additives like titanium dioxide (TiO2) to enhance their protective qualities.

Icon Rocklear is a completely different formulation. While ceramic coatings provide a basic layer of protection, Icon Rocklear offers permanent paint restoration, self-healing properties, and a thicker, stronger shield—outperforming ceramics across the board.

ICON Rocklear is NOT a ceramic coating. It’s a two-component hybrid liquid coating formulation that is mixed at a 10-1 ratio prior to installation.

The first component is what we call the “sauce” which provides the chemical structure that helps create a flexible – yet exceptionally strong and thick layer of protection.

This first stage liquid contains a proprietary blend of semi-solid natural and synthetic compounds – and is manufactured in a way that integrates our patented I.C.E. (Interlocking Coating Enforcement) technology.

The second component is a potent activator – that contains self-leveling and hardening agents – which creates a ready-to-use, high-solid content coating – only installed by factory trained technicians.

Icon Rocklear is the original permanent paint protective coating trusted by car enthusiasts and professionals alike. Our patented Interlocking Coating Enforcement technology creates a protective layer that is 35 times thicker and 75 times stronger than professional-grade ceramic coatings.

But we didn’t stop there.

Icon Rocklear is infused with self-healing properties that restore your vehicle’s paint by filling in minor swirl marks and light scratches. Whether it’s vandalism or road debris, any serious damage to the coating can also be easily repaired, keeping your ride looking flawless, no matter the road ahead.
