Professional SiC ceramic coating

Up to 10 years of protection with proper prep and maintenance.

AQUASiC MAX is a bottled, professional-grade silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic coating for detailers and experienced enthusiasts. AQUASiC MAX 10 Year carries the highest concentration of SiC in the AQUASiC MAX line and is meant for professional installers. It is a high-solids coating that lays down about 3 to 4 microns when applied as directed.

It is a full install, not a spray: decontaminate, correct the paint, apply in small sections, let it flash, and buff it off. No leveling is needed. If that sounds like more than you want to take on, VITRIFY MAX gives you SiC protection in one spray-and-wipe step.

Application instructions

Letting the coating flash is the most important part of the install. This is a buff-off coating. There is no leveling step. Apply it, give it time to flash, then buff it off.

  1. Start with clean, decontaminated, corrected paint and wipe the panel so the surface is ready to accept the coating.
  2. Work in a 20 inch by 20 inch area, and no larger. Apply an even layer with a suede or microsuede applicator.
  3. Let the coating flash for 5 to 8 minutes. Do not rush this step. The coating needs that time to set up before you touch it.
  4. Buff it off with a clean microfiber towel. If it smears, it has not flashed long enough. Stop, let that section set up longer, then buff again.

For full-size vehicles, SUVs, and trucks, we highly recommend using two bottles so you have enough product to coat the vehicle properly.

The vehicle can be washed on day 7. We highly recommend waiting until day 14 for the first wash.

Results depend on surface prep, giving the coating enough time to flash, climate and maintenance washing. The up-to-10-year figure assumes a full install on properly prepped paint, a complete cure and regular maintenance washing. Test in an inconspicuous area first and follow the application and cure instructions.

    Worth the investment

    Posted by Patrick O. on 12th Jan 2026

    I was going back and forth between this and a cheaper coating. Glad I went with the 10-year. The application was smooth, the leveling was easy, and the results speak for themselves. My Audi looks better than when I picked it up from the dealer.

    My detailing clients can tell the difference

    Posted by Sean D. on 5th Jan 2026

    I offer this as my premium coating option and every single client has been blown away. The depth of gloss is noticeably better than other coatings I've used. It's become my go-to recommendation for anyone who wants the best protection available.

    Protects against everything

    Posted by James L. on 30th Dec 2025

    Bird droppings, tree sap, water spots — everything wipes right off without leaving a mark. Before the coating I was constantly doing paint correction. Now I just wash and go. The protection is real.

    The real deal — 8 months in and still beading

    Posted by Robert K. on 9th Dec 2025

    I applied this to my 2024 Corvette in June. It's now February and the water still beads and sheets off like day one. I've been through rain, car washes, and a Texas summer. The gloss is still deep and the surface is slick. This is a legit long-term coating.

    Water behavior is insane

    Posted by Daniel M. on 30th Nov 2025

    The hydrophobic properties on this coating are next level. After a rain, my car looks like it was just waxed. Water doesn't just bead — it flies off. I've never seen anything like it from a consumer-grade product.

    Applied it myself with great results

    Posted by Greg T. on 14th Nov 2025

    First time doing a ceramic coating. Watched Landon's videos, prepped the paint properly, and applied it in my garage. The instructions were clear and the product was forgiving to work with. Two coats on my black F-250 and it looks like glass. Couldn't be happier.

    Applied to my boat — holding up great

    Posted by Eric B. on 11th Oct 2025

    Used this on my center console boat that sits in saltwater. Four months in and the gel coat still looks freshly polished. Salt rinses right off. If it can handle a marine environment, it can handle anything.

    Customer service was excellent

    Posted by William R. on 6th Oct 2025

    Had a question about application temperature and Landon personally responded within an hour. The product itself is outstanding but the support behind it is what makes me a repeat customer. You don't get that from the big brands.

    Great for headlights

    Posted by Dustin H. on 25th Sep 2025

    My headlights collect bugs like crazy. This cleans them up perfectly without hazing the clear coat or any protective film. I spray it on before a wash and by the time I get to the front end everything just rinses off.
