Don’t Take Our Word For it.

Was an amazing experience everyone was warm and welcoming. They are all very passionate about what they do and even offered demonstrations of products that make car care less of a hassle and keep its shine longer. One demonstration even brought out more flake in the paint that I didn’t even realize was there and made the car look better than new!

After years of using a different coating, I finally gave Avant Guard a shot—and I wish I had sooner. The difference is honestly night and day. It applies smoother, cures cleaner, and the finish is on another level. Clients keep asking what I used because their car looks “glossier than the day they bought it.” One even used their hood as a mirror—and I didn’t blame them. What I appreciate most is the consistency. No drama during installs, no weird surprises. It just performs the way a premium coating should. I’ve tried a lot of coatings over the years, but Avant Guard has earned its spot at the top. If you’re still using the old stuff, I get it—I was too. But trust me, your paint (and your sanity) deserves better. AG applies so clean you’d think it read the manual twice!
