Great company offering a superior product

I made a purchase from AvalonKing after seeing many sponsored product placements on my frequently watched youtubers' channels. I was pleasantly surprised when I received my order, and even more surprised when the claims of the product held up to the claims. The shipping went flawlessly, the packaging was excellent and the follow up was on point. The products I ordered worked as described when applied using the directions included. I used a prep shampoo, ceramic coating, and follow up my washings with a detailer. I have recommended AvalonKing to my friends and coworkers when they talk about buying a new car to protect their paint and to make maintenance easy going forward. To my knowledge, those that go with my recommendations are also very pleased with the product and the company. The only negative thing I will say.. I wish their sales, promotions, and pricing were a little more consistent. There was some communication with the company regarding this after my purchase and they offered to make it right, which I declined to follow up on.

Awsome product!…

I took a gamble on this product 3 years ago and bought it online.. I bought two kits to do black Yukon and my blue GTO.
Three days later they arrived just in time for the weekend.
I opened up the box's to find everything I would need to do the coating neatly packaged.
I then did as the instructions instructed as far as prepping the vehicles.

This product was super easy to apply.
After the third day of the product being on the vehicle the results were astonishing!
It completely revived the old tired black paint to the point of looking like a mirror!
I was getting compliments on how well my 07 yukon looked for its age.
3 years later it still shines after a light wash.

I would not hesitate one bit about buying this stuff again!

AMAZING!
I found this product through Legit Street Cars on YouTube, and bought a bundle a while back.
No word of a lie, after some initial preparation, this ceramic coating product provided the wettest, slickest look to my Black Legacy GT, turning it into a serious head-turner.

I'd recommend these guys every day of the week, and look forward to coating a few more vehicles in the near future.

Educator by day and passionate detail hobbyist

I am an educator by day and a passionate hobbyist detailer. I've used AvalonKing ceramic coating on 8 or 9 vehicles over the past five years. The product consistently impresses me for three key reasons:
1. Effortless Application - Even for beginners, it's incredibly user-friendly, making it nearly impossible to get wrong.
2. Stunning Results - The deep, mirror-like shine is amazing to see in the finished stage.
3. Long-Lasting Protection - The durability and gloss hold up over time.

AvalonKing has become my go-to ceramic coating, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for professional-level results with minimal hassle. And, you can't beat the cost!

Great company and experience

I have used the Armour Shield IX on 4 cars now. The product is great, give nice protection and for me has lasted over 2 years before needing to be re-applied. The shine is great and the washing of the car is greatly enhanced and made easier. Anytime that I had a question, it was answered promptly and professionally. I highly recommend this company.

not good over wax!!!

I have a 2011 WRX. I took the time to give her wax before applying the Avalonking Coating. It’s been about two weeks since I applied, my car is dirty covered in dust.

Hello Drew! Thank you for the feedback here on Trustpilot. I would like to start of by saying I am terribly sorry that you have a bad experience with our ceramic coating! If you waxed the car and then applied a ceramic coating that is likely the result one would get! The two products are not compatible Drew. The vehicle must be fully prepped and all wax and sealants should be removed prior to applying a ceramic coating.
Here are the optimal prep steps to take on a vehicle prior to applying a ceramic coating:

1 Wash the Vehicle Thoroughly
Start with a deep clean to remove dirt, grime, and loose contaminants. Use a pH-neutral car shampoo and a two-bucket wash method (one for soapy water, one for rinsing) with a microfiber mitt to minimize scratches. Rinse thoroughly to ensure no soap residue remains.

2 Decontaminate the Surface
After washing, remove embedded contaminants like tar, tree sap, or industrial fallout.
Iron Fallout Remover: Spray an iron remover on the paint and wheels to dissolve brake dust or metal particles. Let it dwell, then rinse off.

3 Clay Bar or Mitt: Use a clay bar with a lubricant (like a quick detailer) to gently glide over the paint, picking up any remaining bonded contaminants. This ensures a smooth surface.

4 Polish the Paint (If Needed)
Inspect the paint for swirl marks, scratches, or oxidation. If imperfections are present, use a dual-action polisher with an appropriate polish and pad combo (e.g., light cutting pad for minor defects, finishing pad for a final pass). This step enhances gloss and ensures the coating bonds to a flawless surface. Wipe off polish residue with a microfiber towel.

5 Clean with a Panel Prep Solution
Remove any oils, waxes, or leftover polishing compounds that could interfere with the ceramic coating’s adhesion. Use an isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solution (typically 70% IPA diluted with water) or a dedicated panel wipe product. Spray it on and wipe with a clean microfiber towel until the surface feels squeaky clean.

6 Dry the Surface Completely
Ensure no water spots or moisture remain, as they can trap under the coating. Use a clean microfiber towel or a blower to dry the vehicle entirely. Work in a controlled environment (like a garage) to avoid dust or water contamination.

Work in a Clean, Controlled Environment
Apply the coating in a well-ventilated, dust-free area with stable temperature (ideally 50-75°F or 10-24°C). Avoid direct sunlight or high humidity, which can cause the coating to flash too quickly or cure unevenly.

I hope this helps Drew! Feel free to reach out to hello@avalonking.com if you'd more further assistance with your ceramic coating and or prep/maintenance needs.

Very easy to apply

This was my first time ceramic coating a car, prep work was a lot of work to get the perfect finish, the application of Armor Shield was the easiest part. It delivers everything promised.

shield lite ceramic

I think this is a great quick detailer that goes on very easily and buffs off just as nicely. Depending on the condition of the paint, I still prefer a coat of wax as a finish coat because of the fillers. Obviously on an older paintjob, the spray won't help with any swirls, etc, however the hydrophobic properties of this product cannot be ignored. I think this spray is a great compliment to a full ceramic coating or requires a proper paint correction for best results.

Hello Nicholas! I understand where you are coming from with the wax comment. I would add though that wax can be messy, time consuming and well... not everyone enjoys that process! Armor Shield Lite not only add the awesome hydrophobic properties you mentioned but it days provide a layer of protection. The big thing is that it is easy to use 5 to 10 minutes and you are done!

I don't know what it is exactly

I don't know what it is exactly, but Armor shield ix from avalonking is some stellar, um stuff. seen other people saying it makes the paint deep, water beading and whatnot there, was I skeptical yeah but tried and have to agree now, will all of em. I'm old, getting closer to 80 now, so it was an effort for me to be perfectly frank, I just always kept my cars clean, showroom shine typoe of a deal, started way back 1969 when I got my first car, it was an MG, turned a lot of heads back in the day. You have to do the prep, will be easier on you younger guys anyhow, whole shebang. Do in sections as well. But Im a happy camper with this, shine is spectacular in a sense and washing gets easier so you put in some work sure but later you spend less time, and trust me, time is so valuable. Support loves chatting about cars, classics especially, Dale from Avalon is almost a buddy at this point how much we exchanged over the times.

Hello Gabriele! Thank you for the wonderful feedback! It looks like you purchased our Armor Shield IX over our Valentine's Sale! Great sale yeah? Armor Shield IX is fantastic for adding shine to dulled surfaces due to UV fade.

I’ve tried all 3 of their coatings and believe they are now suffering fromn some serious quality control issues. The Armor Shield IV was great a few years ago so I recently decided to try their MAX and GOAT. I am not impressed with either product and find them lacking in quality. Trying to communicate with the CO is difficult and they shut down at any hint their may be an issue with the product.

Also, I suggest reading the AK Terms and Conditions before making a purchase, it’s very enlightening.

5 star customer service and top of the line quality

I've been using AvalonKing products for a while, most recently coated my car with Armor Shield MAX and topped with Psycho PRO. Dale from customer service was incredibly helpful around stuff I wasn't sure about with the process and the end result which is holding up to 100% performance now after almost a year is just amazing. Psycho PRO is making the surface super slick and ultra hydrophobic and MAX underneath is providing really superb depth to the color alongside the coating protection.

Down US$40 for a never received order(+14 days awaiting)

Made an order and waited for 14 days for it. After an emails ping pong they refunded just the products without custom taxes and transportation that I've paid. Bottom line for me: lost US$40, waited 14 days( they said delivery will take 3-10days) and got nothing. When asking for full refund, they have stopped answering. Bad, bad experience with Avalon king...never again.
Later update..after another few emails I've received the rest of the money back..

Appalling customer service

Great product let down by appalling customer service , I have been waiting for an order for almost 3 months and the standard answer is that it’s awaiting dispatch or the query needs escalating to a manager (who never responds) unfortunately only option is to wait longer or raise a PayPal dispute

Would advise to avoid this company

Update, after 3 months of being told the order was awaiting dispatch then being told a stock clearance item was on back order ! the order had has now been cancelled with “Dale” blaming the shippers. The only things this company demonstrates is dishonesty and incompetence
