Why Choose AX1?DirectionsCare InstructionsTechnical Data
What about a ceramic coating matters most to you as a detailer?
If you're like me, you probably said durability, appearance and ease of application.
You need a product that flashes consistently, wipes off cleanly, and delivers on its promises so you aren't dealing with costly, reputation-damaging warranty reworks a year down the road.
Ultimately, the best coating is the one that gives your clients a jaw-dropping "wow" factor upon delivery, while giving you the seamless, stress-free installation that keeps your bays moving and your profit margins high.
SURFACE PREP:
Clean, decontaminate, dry the surface.
Correct any surface marring, swirls, scratches.
Remove polish oils and residue using ACC Ceramics' PrepPro (strong degreaser)
Always Clean, Correct, Degrease. Do not skip.
APPLICATION:
Use 10-15 drops of AX1 on applicator (add more as needed)
Apply evenly to panel, working in cross hatching and/or
circular motions. Ensure full even coverage.
Allow coating to self-level up to minutes.
Manually level coating with dry, folded, edgeless microfiber
towel.
Wipe panel again with second dry, folded, edgeless
microfiber towel. Be sure not to leave any smudges or streaks
Repeat steps 1-5 for each panel until each panel is ceramic
coated.
Check for high spots (they will appear darker with streaks) High spots
can be reactivated with more coating and leveled with towel during first few
hours of coating.
In Hot and Humid Climate: Work faster and in smaller
sections.
Replace applicator and towels as needed during the coating process. For best results, apply in well ventilated, temperature-controlled environment. Keep surface dry for 24 hours. Do not wash or rub for 7 days. The better care you take of your coating the longer it will take care of your vehicle.
DO NOT USE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR EXTREME HEAT.
ONLY FOR USE ON PAINTED SURFACES, CHROME AND HARD PLASTICS ONLY. DO NOT USE ON FLEXIBLE PLASTICS OR PAINT PROTECTION FILM.
Coatings are only as durable as the preparation that proceeds them. To ensure maximum durability, do not skip the surface preparation.

To preserve the exceptional qualities of AX1 and maintain your vehicle's showroom shine, adhere to these care instructions meticulously:
Initial 7-Day Cure Period:
Avoid Exposure to Chemicals: Do not expose the coated surfaces to water or moisture for the first 24 hours and do not expose them to chemicals for 7 days after application. This allows the coating to cure fully and bond securely to the surface.
Avoid Abrasive Materials:
Use Soft Microfiber: When washing or drying your vehicle, always use clean, soft microfiber towels or Wash Mitts. Avoid abrasive materials like brushes or sponges that could scratch the coating or the vehicle's surface.
Regular Washing:
Frequent Washes: Wash your vehicle regularly to remove surface contaminants like dust, dirt, bird droppings, and road grime. Prompt removal of these contaminants prevents them from bonding to the coating.
Gentle Cleaning Techniques:
Use pH-Neutral Products: Use a pH-neutral, non-abrasive car wash shampoo, such as Ceramic Wash Pro. Avoid harsh detergents or acidic cleaners, as they can damage the coating's protective layer.
Drying After Washing:
Dry: After washing, Dry the vehicle with a clean, soft microfiber towel, like the Bone Dry Towel to prevent water spots. Avoid air drying, especially in direct sunlight, which can cause water spots to form. Using a blower to dry the surface works well.
Avoid Direct Sunlight:
Shaded Parking: Whenever possible, park your vehicle in a shaded area to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. UV rays can degrade the coating over time.
Avoid Harsh Weather:
Covered Storage: During periods of inactivity or harsh weather conditions, consider parking your vehicle indoors. This protects it from rain, snow, and environmental pollutants.
Regular Inspection:
Check for Contaminants: Periodically inspect your vehicle for signs of contaminants, water spots, or bird droppings. Address any issues promptly to preserve the coating's effectiveness.
Avoid High-Pressure Cleaning:
Caution with Pressure Washers: If using a pressure washer, maintain a safe distance and use a low-pressure nozzle. High-pressure water streams can damage the coating and the vehicle's surface.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals:
Avoid Strong Cleaners: Refrain from using strong chemicals, solvents, or acidic substances on the coated surface. Stick to gentle, automotive-specific cleaning products such as Ceramic Wash Pro.

All in all I think it’s a great product although as someone who has been doing professional automotive detailing and painting I do believe the bidder for a large truck is infact a little small. I had purchased this product before for my wife’s suburban and the biggest bottle wasn’t enough so I had to use what I had left from doing my Mustang with the same product. Quality is on point but amount is stretched thin in my profession opinion
1st and foremost, this stuff is amazing and the customer service is the greatest that I have ever communicated with. Always a fast response to all of my questions and trust, me I a bunch. This product is amazing, as long as you follow the directions. I purchased the complete kit from prep to coating to after care. I also purchased a clay bar kit and clay barred the car before coating. I usually have terrible luck doing stuff like this, myself, but this was pretty straight forward and easy to do. To everyone at ACC Ceramics, thank you for everything from an amazing product to the amazing customer service.
This product is great. Went for the 50ml for my dually with 8 ft bed and had some left over. Very happy. Truck looks better than brand new. I would Facebook msssenger on Sunday with someone at acc ceramics and they gave advice and offer great solutions. Very easy to do and you save anywhere from a gran to 2 grand.
I applied this product to my new car (which is parked outside) and it was pretty simple to use. Since I had no build up to remove it was actually very easy. So I did let in cure in my garage for a full five days. The first night back outside it rained and I have never seen water bead like this even after using great waxes on many cars. But that was not the best part. I really used this product to form a shield from white spots left each day from a rust additive to my sprinkler system which uses well water. These spots on my cars became a task each week to remove. I am thrilled that it looks like ACC is going to make my life a lot easier.

To everyone at ACC Ceramics, thank you for everything from an amazing product to the amazing customer service. I wish that I could post pictures and a video on here. This stuff makes my car look amazing and my car has never had this great of a shine, even when I first drove it off of the showroom floor.
Just applied the product to a new vehicle. I had used products from a different manufacturer on my previous car, the results were satisfactory. I did notice several differences between the other product and the ACC coating:
1. The ACC Coating was easier to apply, even though the other product was in a spray form. The ACC coating went on easier with the microfiber sponge that was included in the Application Kit, and it was easier to see where the coating was on the car's surface.
2. The ACC coating seemed a bit more "forgiving" in application if one followed the recommended procedure. Wipe on, wait 1-2 minutes and wipe off excess.
3. My recommendation is to work in smaller sections and take the time to remove all visible excess coating while you're focusing on that section. Leaving any excess coating on and trying to come back later to remove it makes it much more difficult.
4. The ACC coating takes a bit of time to set and cure on the vehicle Again, follow the included instructions and let the car sit in a dry place, preferably one that isn't in direct sunlight or prone to dust or debris blowing onto the surface. I did notice that as the coating begins to cure, it appears to actually get shinier. The recommendation is to let the coating cure for 24 hours before subjecting it to any moisture. For good measure I elected to just leave the car in a closed garage to optimize the conditions for the coating to cure properly.
5. I do recommend getting one of the kits that ACC sells which include things like a new car wash mitt, foaming car wash solution, prep spray and edgeless microfiber towels for the coating application. Buying and using those accessories makes the process of applying the coating much easier and much more straightforward. It's a bit of an investment but a relatively small cost to make the job easier and to do it right.
Overall, an easy and positive experience in applying the product. The ACC coating does appear to have significant advantages over other offeings available on the market.

Mike, We're so glad you love your AX1 coating! Thank you for your positive feedback and leaving such a thorough review of the products!
Read and believe the reviews, the stuff is stupid easy to use. Be patient, take your time, and the results speak for themselves. I've never had any experience with ceramic coating, but really the application was easier than waxing. I purchased the prep, coat and care kit for my 2024 Camaro SS, I still have about a third of the coating left, so a little goes a long way. I'm happy with the results so far, time will tell if the coating holds as advertised.
Instructions were very easy to follow and applying product was easier than regular wax. Car looks great. Have washed it once since applying the coating and water slid off the surface. Very satisfied.
