We at Armour Detail Supply are committed to developing enjoyable, easy-to-use formulas that provide professional-level results. We live by the notion of providing "Car Care Products That Are NOT Over-Hyped!". Meaning, we are not in the business of overselling our products, providing outlandish claims, or claims only proven in lab environments. Does your vehicle live in a lab? Do you? We didn't think so. So why make claims based on lab results. That’s why we have separated ourselves from industry-specific buzzwords like “ceramic”, “graphene”, “titanium” and “nano”. These coatings primary ingredients are Silica Dioxide(SiO2 or Quartz)/PolySiloxanes/PolySilazanes (as the protection), proprietary resins (as "attachment systems"), and carrier solvents (to provide an easy installation). Hence why we call our "ceramic" coatings, Quartz Coatings. We have done the lab testing of our Coatings, it suggests durability over twice what we are claiming and hardness levels we know are laughable. When entrusting the protection of your vehicle to Armour Quartz Coatings, you are experiencing only real world claims and durability.

Prep:
The Prep is the most important step of the process, our coating is great but it can not do the prep work for you!
2. If swirl marks, or scratches are present, polish the paint to reduce any surface defects and create maximum gloss.
3. Use our Armour Detail Supply Panel Prep to remove any oils/residue left from your polishing step. If you did not polish the surface, repeat this step twice to ensure a clean surface.
You are ready to apply Armour Quartz Coating!
Application:
1. After thorough prep prime the applicator with 3 lines start and each subsequent application will only need a small amount, a little goes a long way.
2. Apply Armour Coating 1-2 panels at a time. Initially create an "X" pattern on the panel, then box in all edges to allow for even distribution of the coating. Follow through the panel using small overlapping circles (like a wax) making sure to have even, level coverage. Allow the product to "set up" for 1-3 minutes depending on temperature/humidity (generally 90 seconds). Look for uniform small sweat beads or light haze to appear before removing.
3. In a small circular motion level coating 95%+ on 1st wipe (short nap, pearl weave). If the product is very hard to remove it needs less time before removal. Switch to 2nd towel (plush) for final leveling, wipe in straight lines for final removal. Check for any streaks, or high spots which can appear as cloudy or dark spots. Repeat this process per panel
4. Halfway through the vehicle or as the applicator starts to cure, flip the applicator over to a fresh side.
5. Use a fresh side of your removal towels every panel.
Armour Quartz Coating was designed as a single layer coating, however, it can be layered. If you wish to apply multiple layers allow 1-2 hours between layers. Allow 1-2 hours if you choose to layer PHOBIC on top of the Armour Coating.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 84 reviews.
Shout out to Bradley for great customer service answering my questions. I’m just a an enthusiast detailer for our family vehicles and some friends.
First time applying a ceramic coating. I used Armour Detail Supply products which worked fantastic. I did the full Decon wash, then iron fallout remover, next contact wash then clay bar.
Paint was in great shape so I did a polish using Rupes Pure with a white buff n shine pad.
I installed the Armour Detail Supply Quartz coating
I was extra nervous about high spots. I watched Armour Detail instruction video several times.
Quartz coating was fantastic to install. Flash time for me was 2 minutes since the weather was 65 with lower humidity.
Don’t be afraid to use this coating. Excellent to install!
My parents bought a new ram 1500 so I did a light polish and applied this coating. It looks great and is slick. My biggest complaint is the dropper on the bottle. The coating just comes out so fast I ended up using all of a 50ml bottle. Granted I did coat everything on the truck besides the glass. I wish yall could change the dropper and it would just enhance the user experience. I think it’s just easy to overuse it with how fast it comes out.
My first time trying this coating and I'm very impressed and happy. My client was so amazed on how glossy and shiny her vehicle looked. Will continue using this coating.
I applied Quartz to my daughters 15 year old Volvo paint and you can see in the video the results, it looked amazing, or course that was a good paint correction but the shine and gloss from the Quartz and the ease of applying is second to none and hard to beat!!
Since I started using Armour Detail Supply’s Quartz coating, I have completed three cars. Two were mine and we did a friend of mine Honda Hybrid in red. No matter the color, Quartz came through with easy application and wipe off leaving a brilliant gloss shine!
Phenomenal product! Lexus Infared color is already a beauty. However, Quartz paired with phobic really took it to another level! Will be filling the garage with ADS supplies.
ADS Quartz V2 is so easy! I would definitely recommend it to newer detailers as well as pros!! It’s as easy as Phobic on an applicator, but it has 2-3 times the working time…
Super slick, ready to roll in 4 hours, and the hydrophobics are amazing!!
This was only my second application of a ceramic coating, and it is very forgiving/ easy to address high spots. I used the new ADS band applicator after prepping with all ADS Products and the gloss & shine is fantastic! You would never know this was a 10 year old black vehicle after Quartz!!
New to ADS and Armour Quartz Coating. First ceramic coating I've installed. Been detailing for years and have been using good old carnauba wax. Armour Quartz is awesome and easy to install. Incredible results, very slick, deep color! Take the time to properly prep your car for the coating. Decontaminate, paint correction, and prep spray is a must for best results. Work in small areas, let flash and then wipe off. I worked the hood in quarters, apply 1 quarter, apply second quarter, then wipe the first quarter moving to the second quarter. Repeat for the rest of your car. Enjoy and have fun!
ADS Quarter V2 is phenomenal!! It was so easy to apply, predictable flash, and forgiving with high spots!! I had only applied PHOBIC before this, and I think it was just as easy, with a bit more time to work…. It made this 10 year old 4Runner look fantastic!! The gloss, shine, and hydrophobics are off the charts!!
10/10 recommend, even for beginners like myself!!
An excellent product to apply on any vehicle, delivers great protection and a clean, glossy finish. My customer was extremely happy with the results. I highly recommend it for every vehicle.
This was the very first time using your products. After watching videos and taking notes, I decided to ceramic coat my wife’s new car. I never used a ceramic coating before. The process was extremely easy and the pictures do not do justice to the results that I received. Highly recommend this product!! Don’t be afraid to use it, not intimidating at all.
This coating is super easy to apply any is stunningly beautiful! Don't hesitate to buy it, you won't regret it. After doing one car with it I will be putting it on all my personal vehicles.
My experience with ADS Quartz v1 has been fantastic. I’ve applied it on two vehicles at this point, my Z3 and my wife’s Tiguan.
Historically, I’ve installed Ceramic Pro, Gyeon, Ammo NYC and Gtechniq coatings. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses. This has taught me exactly what I do, and don’t like in a coating. What I love about ADS Quartz is how it manages to meet all my expectations and then some!
The application is simple. The gloss and warm glow appearance is top notch. The water behavior is great. What more can you ask for?
Bradley & DJ were a huge help when researching my next coating. And I’m so thankful I chose ADS. My favorite part about ADS is the customer support. Working with a smaller company, where you can actually talk to the founders about their products is a level of service that words cannot describe. It’s invaluable.
I’ve been using armour detailing products on customer’s vehicles for a while now with great results and very happy feedback. I can’t say enough about coating. Easy application, great shine, and amazing hydrophobic properties.
It was beyond super easy to put on. Absolutely love how slick it is and how insane the gloss was too! I’m so happy that they finally came out with the 50ml.
I’ve used this product on many customers vehicles as well as all of my own vehicles. The ease of use, the hydrophobic properties, the durability, and let’s not forget the shine is top notch!
First time using this coating and will not be my last. From how easy it was to apply to a smooth level of the product. The insane level of gloss and slickness this coating gave the paint is unmatched. The pictures just show pretty it is. Can’t wait to try out the new v2 of this on my wife’s car and future clients I have.
