While I knew this was coming, Detailing Shed have just announced the addition of Armour Detail Supply to their store.

Armour Detail Supply is the brainchild of a young bloke called Bradley Nilsen, who also runs a detailing and PPF studio called Naples Auto Armour in Bonita Springs, Florida. I love these sort of stories, a young guy with the drive and passion to take it to the big boys.

The Armour Detail Supply range is centered around high solids count ceramic coatings. The focus is on real world durability claims rather the best-case-scenario figures provided by key competitors. In addition to the coatings, they also have a line of maintenance products.
For the time being, Detailing Shed are offering the range of ceramic coatings for paint, glass and wheels. To date, I have only used the high-temp wheel coating, easily the best wheel coating on the market.

Compared to other wheel specific coatings that I have used in the past, I love the slickness and extreme hydrophobic behavior of Armour Detail Supply Wheel Coating. Quite often, those two elements are missing from other similar products. And from what I have noticed over the years, most wheel coatings are lucky to achieve their quoted durability, so if the claims of two years and beyond are true, then this is arguably the products best attribute.
I now have this coating on two cars..........................and one lawn mower! It can be applied to all wheel finishes, including matte black, and can also be used to coat brake calipers and dust shields...............anything that will be subjected to high heat conditions. The initial wipe off is pretty grabby, but it smooths out to a slick finish once it's been fully leveled and cured.
Coating the lawn mower was more so as a laugh, but its actually keeping the unit cleaner, not attracting dust like you would expect and a simple hose down is all it needs.

Of the other coatings offered, its pleasing to see these also offer a slick finish. Again, slickness is often traded for additional durability, so this aspect has it sitting as a strong contender to coat my S650...............if Ford ever build it. And while not available just yet, I'm see Amplify ceramic quick detailer gaining a strong following, same for the Shampoo+ maintenance soap.
It's been a while since I was genuinely excited about a new detailing brand hitting Australian shores, Armour Detail Supply could very well be the next Carpro.
