About Avant Guard
At Avant Guard, we’re car enthusiasts and chemistry nerds. We’re a science-backed manufacturer laser-focused on one mission: build the world’s most advanced automotive protection products, no matter the cost or complexity. If a formula doesn’t outperform everything else on the market and stay safe for the user, we keep mixing until it does.
Our flagship innovation is Formula 1051—a wipe-on ceramic clear coat that adds real film-build, insane gloss, and next-level durability in a single application. But we didn’t stop at paint. From pH-balanced anti-corrosive wash soaps and streak-free glass cleaners to leather conditioners and wheel & caliper coatings tough enough for track days, we offer best-in-class solutions for every inch of your vehicle.
