Beadlock Pro Ceramic Paint Coating vs Armor Shield IX MAX Ceramic Coating Kit

Pick Beadlock Pro if you want the longest protection and the toughest chemical resistance: it rates over 9H hardness, holds up to pH 2-13, and claims up to 4 years. Pick Armor Shield IX MAX if you want a forgiving DIY job that cures fast and covers everything: paint, glass, rims and trim in one kit. Owners of both praise easy application and strong gloss; Beadlock Pro buyers stress durability and beading, while Armor Shield IX MAX buyers stress the 4-hour cure and a finish that stays hydrophobic years later.

• Choose the Beadlock Pro if you want maximum hardness and chemical resistance on paint and gel coat, and you can leave the car dry for 72 hours.
• Choose the Armor Shield IX MAX if you want a fast-curing kit you can use on paint, glass, rims and trim in one session.
