I have seen multiple video review/how-to videos for AvalonKing product and so far this one is the best. The others skipped so many important points that this channel covered very well. I bought the product and am ready to apply it to my brand new car as soon as I get a 3 day window of no rain. 👍
Just spent 8 hrs preping and ceramic coating with Armor Shield IX, you are 100% correct in your analysis, I have a 2012 Silver Honda Accord with metal flake paint, I never saw the flash but they say it's hard to see in a light color car, I did the windows and saw the rainbow within seconds on a very humid 80F day, had no problems wiping it off even waiting 10-15 minutes, did larger areas than 2'x2', also did the interior. Preping took a long time since I clayed it and power buffed the swirls out, it now looks better than new.
Hi Seth, Nice video. I’ve just done my second coating of this as I found after 1.5 years the sides of the car were not beading as they used to. The back was fine. I did all the steps and a very fine overall polish just to catch any swirls. I’m a ‘garage queen’ 😂😂😂 that’s what the garage is for after all. If you are new to it it is super easy and I found on both occasions the ‘oil slick’ look was pretty instant. I buy some new towels to buff off as they need throwing away after but it’s not that expensive. You do need 2 bottles IF you want to do all the car, inside the doors, bonnet or ‘hood’ and boot or ‘trunk’ if in USA. I’m in the UK. DIY’er but enjoy doing it. Use a mask when putting on, it’s quite powerful fume wise of open the front and back a bit to get a bit of air flowing through or it can get too much. I did glass except the windscreen and all plastics etc. Overall it works well and makes cleaning so much easier. Personally would do this once a year at a time that makes sense, summer as it really helps to get this coating into the sun to cure it really well but give it 2 days in the garage. Buy it when it’s on offer, there is no need to pay full price. Didn’t use the block when doing detail bits, just the cloth. This makes it easier the get in all the corners. I probably used too much, but it’s better than missing parts. I expect other similar based priced products are the same but I’ve got my head around this stuff now and it is easy. Not sure the blue truck showed the flashing, maybe that is why it was hard to see?? Just subscribed, so will watch your washing etc, always good to get another opinion. If you are in doubt, try it, it is so simple and I’ve always polished a car. This is the first time I have ceramic coated and it’s the maintenance that you benefit from, so easy.
I drive a Ford F150 supercab 8ft bed. Lots of panels. As soon as winter was over I started the decon process. Took 2 afternoons for 2 washes, decontamination spray, clay, polishing. Then 2 coats of ceramic that took a half hour plus each. I recommend a ceramic detailer or maintenance product after 3 months.
I just used this on a black 08 IS250 in a garage at about 70*+ F and initial application it laid down in a rainbow/oil slick color. Seemed to flash pretty quick. I still waited 1min+ until wiping it off. I'm sure this blue truck may make it hard to see a green/purple/blue hue.
Thanks , Definately wont do all the steps as i just had my car delivered a few days ago . 50 miles total on the car. but this video helped alot, i now have everything i needed.. tips and timming and all. Thanks again !
Just use Turtle Wax Ceramic spray. It's just as durable and only cost $12! This Armor shield doesn't really hold up test and test after test! Many have reviewed. Most of the positive reviews were sent "Free Samples" to show on UA-cam!
Took me 2 hours to do my Model Y. Every part including the glass roof. The prep time is separate. I did one panel at a time and half the hood at a time, half the roof at a time. I did it on a 80 degree cloudy day and it rainbowed within a minute evry time.
I applied this coating (Armour Shield IX) on my car as per instructions (did full paint correction on the car prior to application including iron removal, polish, isopropyl wipe down, car set for 72 hours in garage before being driven) , had a great result until first rain (about 5 weeks after application). I washed the car about a week after its been in a rain and was left with a lot of hard water spots on hood, roof and trunk lid. None of available water spot removal products worked (tried Adams, Chemical Guys and few others) - even light polishing still left a bunch of water spots on the car... I never experienced this kind of persistent spots when using waxes. Any idea how to remove them? Thanks!
That’s a tough one. When you did some light polishing, what product did you use and how did you do it? I sounds a lot like the minerals in the water actually etched the surface instead of just sitting on top of the surface. Did the polish remove any of the spotting or none at all? If it did remove some but not all, then that tells me the surface is etched and maybe a little further polishing is necessary. Then of course the coating would need to be reapplied because the polish will most likely remove the coating also. Unfortunately a lot of these cheaper consumer coatings need to have a sealant applied over top especially for the first few weeks during curing to protect it from things like water spotting. Avalon King doesn’t say anything about that in the instructions so I didn’t even think to mention it.
@@TurnerMobileDetailing Yes, most spots came off, but there are bunch that are more persistent. I was under the impression that having the ceramic coating on the car would eliminate the water spots. I now use Meguiars ceramic detailer after every wash (kind of defeats having the car ceramic coated) - the extra layer helps with spots...
@@RC_stuff that’s a problem with some DIY coatings unfortunately. Like I mentioned before it’s usually a good idea with these type of coatings to put a sealant over a fresh coating so it can cure and the sealant will prevent water spot etching and like damage. In your case the coating should have been cured enough to not spot like that. That kind of tells me that this product takes a long time to cure or maybe worse, it’s not that great. I’m gonna be checking on the truck this month so I’ll see how well it held up for myself. So for your car I would polish out the remaining spots and either reapply a coating or just keep using the Meguiars. But just know that not all coatings do this, there’s good and bad ones just like anything else.
Thanks for this video ... Gonna wait for the right time to Apply my Avalon King to our 3 month old 2022 Ford Explorer s it is March , I live in NY on Long Island so gonna wait for some warmer weather . Figured I would start on the hardest area to reach the roof of the vehicle ... would you say I can coat over the moon roof and molding /plastics that surround Moon roof seems like I can coat glass and surrounding area ... Thanks , regardless of hard long this product hold up , I happy to hear that it buffs off fairly easy and the wait time ( flash time ) as you mention is sort of non existence within reason ... Just wanted to do something that makes the paint pop ... I have always been neurotic with my vehicles since I was a teen so Ill make sure to wash vehicle myself and whenever she goes into the deal for service I will do what YOU said and tell em " dont do anything to the paint etc ... Thanks for all your tips , apologies for the composition lol
This is one of three coatings I have used as a DIYer. It is the easiest to use but not sure of durability. The others I used were Adam's Advanced Graphene and Ethos Graphene. Definitely need to do two leveling steps for each area.
I used Adams on my Pickup After using this on my car. Pick up was Dark Brown and I hated the Adams. I could not let it sit more than 1 minute or it was almost impossible to get off. This stuff was so much easier and the durability seemed about the same
Great review Seth you went through everything! I wanted to ask something. If someone takes a brand new car straight from the dealership do you think it’s necessary to do an iron and bag removal and a clay bar application or you would be fine only with the IPA wipe down if the paint itself is in pretty good condition? Thanks in advance I’m looking forward to the long term durability review!
Thank you! Yes you absolutely should. Even a brand new car needs to be iron removed and clayed. New cars often collect iron rail dust and or industrial fallout from the transportation process to the dealership from the train and/or boat they ride on. Also, if they’ve been sitting on the dealer lot for a while, they can collect industrial fallout since often dealerships are in or near business and industrial zoned areas. I recommend Adam’s iron remover and nanoskin fine clay mitt. Be gentle and use ONR for lubrication.
Alright I got you! Thanks for the recommendations I will totally check them out. Also, what about bug and tar removal. Is it necessary as well for a brand new car?
Sorry I guess I forgot to add it. The link is in the description now. Olympia Tools 85-198 Pack-N-Roll Folding Collapsible Service Cart, Full Black, 50 Lb. Load Capacity per Shelf www.amazon.com/dp/B08KFM2PVM?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_13ECQD7E4MS2VGMYC8YF
The applicator sponge and towel combo seems like a convoluted way of applying the coating. Would you be able to use a simple microsuede mini applicator sponge made for ceramic coatings like the ones from Adam's etc?
Yes, just make sure the applicator is lined with plastic under the outer suede layer. This prevents the stuffing of the block from absorbing all your product. This is why the cloth wrapped around the applicator block is often used because the block won’t really absorb the coating, it stays on the cloth and thus able to be applied to the surface, instead of being lost inside an applicator block.
Hello, you metioned low profile microfiber for buffing off the ceramic after flashing? what type of low profile (weight) microfiber towel should I gert from Rag company? and what high profile microfiber towel do I need and what is it for?
Low profile just means low pile. So fro Rag Co I always use the edge less pearl as my initial buff/removal towel, and the eagles creature as my secondary and final buff towel. The pearl is to initially remove the solvents and to level the coating, and the second, the high pile creature is to buff to perfection.
Yes. Polishing is for cosmetic purposes only, so if you are happy with how your paint looks after the clay stage, feel free to prep and coat. Make sure to inspect your paint with a good inspection light though to make sure you know exactly what it looks like, I.e. swirling or scratching.
Should be fine, most ceramic coatings can withstand high temp environments. You may not want to apply it on a car that’s been sitting out in that heat though. The panels shouldn’t be extremely hot when applying. But to be honest, this stuff is so easy to use, it may not matter all that much.
Tried Avalon King on my new car. Did iron x, clay bar and paint correction. My nephew applied the coating as he does it professionally. Went on easy. The results? It didn’t last at all, about a month and a half. They did refund my purchase but with all that work, very disappointing. YMMV.
Still very hesitant… especially since you’ve provided links to purchase makes it feel like another paid infomercial, I’ll wait till you provide the follow up in a few months
I totally hear you, I'm not sponsored, but I am an affiliate, so I get a small commission from that link, nothing major. But I agree, we'll see how it holds up over the next 6 months to start. Honestly though, this stuff is idiot proof, but that may not be a good thing long term, stay tuned...
@@TurnerMobileDetailing looking forward to it. This stuff seems to almost be a unicorn according to some of the other review videos. Keep the content flowing my man! ✌🏽
I trust him; he’s one of the most honest straight forward auto detailers on UA-cam. If he says it’s good, then that’s all I need to know. Just watch all his other reviews. He’s as good as they get.
I almost purchased this with the recent promotion (3 for $99). Other youtube reviewers tested this product and the durability was just not there. I went with something that spends less on marketing and more on quality McKee's 37 Graphene Ceramic Coating. I would love to know your durability review on this product. Here is a reference: ua-cam.com/video/9UM2VYrU5gc/v-deo.html
all this ceramic coating is concussing as hell , i just got my car detailed , it was 160 dollars , guy did am amazing amazing job , i asked about ceramic coating , he said it costs $1000.00 , so this Avalon King i see everywhere for 50 bucks , what gives
@@Anne6621 so as I stated in the video, Avalon king is a consumer product, not a professional grade product, so there’s a big price drop in product cost alone. When you see $1000 for a ceramic coating, that most likely includes a professional grade coating, plus the labor costs for all the prep work and installation for someone else to do it for you. 85% of the cost of having a ceramic coating installed is the laborious prep work. BTW $100 for a professional coating is not a bad price, depending on the product and its expected longevity.
Wow dude, that’s a pretty unfair assessment. Did you even watch the video, or the update video? I think I was pretty darn honest about this stuff, despite the affiliation.
@@TurnerMobileDetailing no. I didn't watch the whole video. Because you wouldn't be unbiased if you were being paid. The online reviews from actual customers say it washes off after 5 - 6 months (aside from the people who reviewed the day after application, which is most of them) I'm so used to UA-camrs peddling garbage like Athletic Greens and Established Titles. I'm looking for nin affiliated reviews of ceramic coating
@@1one3_Racing I only make a small percentage if someone buys it, I don’t get paid by AK just making a video. And if you watched the videos you would know that I made it very clear that this stuff was not a high quality product and it was a mid to low end consume product. And in the 7 month update video I made it very clear that it was mostly gone. So I’m very comfortable that my credibility is very much in tact. I’m not a sell out and I’m very honest about the products I review, affiliate or not. You should actually watch the content before pronouncing judgement.
@@TurnerMobileDetailing that's almost an hour of video though! After watching several other reviews. I don't have that kind of time. I just want to find a good quality product I can apply myself and not have to spend almost $2000 for a professional job.
@@TurnerMobileDetailing Not many as I think I've only come across 2 of them that reference that it can be brought for a quarter of the price from the likes of Alibaba without the branding.
I'm preparing to apply this product tomorrow. Thanks for posting this great video.

Thanks for the video. How many of the suede applicators do u need to use? Do u just need one and the other 2 are for emergencies? Cheers
1 or 2. I flip them over after a few panels, so for this large truck I believe I used 2 cloths, each side did about 1/4 of the truck.
Great tutorial, thank you
@Turner Mobile Detailing: Were you provided this product free of charge for evaluation?
Yup
This is one of three coatings I have used as a DIYer. It is the easiest to use but not sure of durability. The others I used were Adam's Advanced Graphene and Ethos Graphene. Definitely need to do two leveling steps for each area.
I’ve used the Adam’s also in the past, pretty easy too.

I did about 2 panels or so on each side of a cloth. So each cloth is good for about 4 panels or so.

can we ironx then clay then ceramic skip polishing
Yes. Polishing is for cosmetic purposes only, so if you are happy with how your paint looks after the clay stage, feel free to prep and coat. Make sure to inspect your paint with a good inspection light though to make sure you know exactly what it looks like, I.e. swirling or scratching.
Will one bottle be enough to do a full size truck
No you’ll need two
After coating bonds to any surface, is it safe for human skin?
Do you mean is the surface safe to touch with your hands? Yes
I did my vehicle yesterday and the flash time was almost instant in some areas then other I just couldn’t see anything
It was about 31c
In higher temps yeah the flash time goes way down.

And in the 7 month update video I made it very clear that it was mostly gone. So I’m very comfortable that my credibility is very much in tact. I’m not a sell out and I’m very honest about the products I review, affiliate or not. You should actually watch the content before pronouncing judgement.
@@TurnerMobileDetailing that's almost an hour of video though! After watching several other reviews. I don't have that kind of time.
I just want to find a good quality product I can apply myself and not have to spend almost $2000 for a professional job.
How many UA-camrs are getting paid to sell this stuff? You can buy it direct from the manufacturer for next to nothing.
How many UA-camrs are being paid to sell this stuff BUT giving you an honest review?
@@TurnerMobileDetailing Not many as I think I've only come across 2 of them that reference that it can be brought for a quarter of the price from the likes of Alibaba without the branding.
Those beeps.... never again lol
Water spots everywhere 🤨
I’ve heard similar reports
My only complaint about the product.
So many bad reviews of this product.
Stuff sucks.. and it's not slick
Next time don’t use use that annoying music.
It's a cheap Chinese coating sold at CarPro prices through clever marketing.
Yes it is. My experience exactly. I’ve had spray ceramics that lasted longer.
