Your Questions About Permanent Paint Protection Answered
How is Icon Rocklear different from ceramic coatings?
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.
How long does the coating last?
Icon Rocklear has been in production since 2015. It was developed, tested, and initially created to handle the extreme cold and hostile weather conditions in Northern Canada.
Lab and real world testing has proven that our paint protective coating holds up against daily outdoor exposure for 15+ years.
For marine vessels, the coating can hold up against cuastic saltwater, algea and constant exposure to extreme UV rays for 7+ years.
This represents the longest marine coating warranty in the industry – by FAR!
Can the coating be applied to any vehicle?
Yes, our coating can be applied to all types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles, regardless of the paint color or finish.
It can also be applied to marine vessles that are painted with a clear coat, or gel coat. Industrial and commercial equipment with painted surfaces are also capable of being protected with Icon Rocklear.
Can Icon Rocklear be applied to older vehicles?
Absolutely! In fact, that’s one of our key selling points. Icon Rocklear contains proprietary ingredients that fill and repair light swirl marks and scratches. However, it’s not intended to repair damaged clear coats.
Our coating is designed to restore older paint by filling in swirl marks and light scratches, making your vehicle look brand new.
This feature also expedites the installation process – since multiple stage paint correction is typically not required to apply Icon Rocklear.
How do I maintain the coating?
Maintaining the coating is simple: regular washing with mild soap and water is all that’s needed to keep your vehicle looking its best.
While we don’t recommend it, you can feel at ease taking your car to a local automated car wash to clean the vehicle. This may cause some light scratches or swirl marks to eventually appear on top of the coated surface.
However, unlike a traditional ceramic coating, these light imperfections can be polished out and repaired.
