Formula 1051 isn’t another “me too” ceramic. It’s a category-defining wipe-on clear coat built for those who expect more—from their paint, from their protection, and from the products they use. Instead of thinning your factory clear coat through endless polishing, Formula 1051 builds it back. It adds real film build—thicker than anything else on the market—to deliver a depth and clarity that looks straight out of a concours. And with one wipe, you get what used to take hours of compounding, polishing, and praying the swirls didn’t come back. Developed over 1,051 rounds of testing (yes, really), this isn’t a rushed-to-market miracle—it’s the result of relentless refinement. It protects against everything from UV degradation and acid rain to bird droppings, bug guts, and yes, even tunnel washes. And when life does leave a mark? Just hit it with a quick polish—your coating stays intact, looking brand new. Whether you’re applying it to a brand-new paint job or using it to restore a tired daily driver, Formula 1051 delivers elite results, minus the fluff. It’s not hype—it’s science, sweat, and the kind of obsession that refuses to quit until it’s perfect.
