AvantGuard 1051 is a professional automotive protective coating designed to provide a combination of strong surface protection, high gloss, hydrophobic properties, and durability. Car Dreams Detailing offers 1051 as an alternative for customers who want more protection than a traditional ceramic coating without going directly to full PPF.

Neither. Avant Guard positions Formula 1051 as its own category of protective coating rather than a conventional ceramic coating or Paint Protection Film. It is designed to provide some of the benefits customers look for in both — including gloss, hydrophobicity, and enhanced protection — in a wipe-on coating.

AvantGuard 1051 is designed for customers looking for a higher level of physical protection while still wanting the deep gloss, hydrophobic behaviour, and easier maintenance associated with ceramic coatings. Unlike a traditional ceramic coating, 1051 is specifically engineered as a protective coating with added film build and durability.

Not necessarily — they are different protection solutions. PPF provides a physical film designed to protect against impacts such as rock chips and road debris, while AvantGuard 1051 is a liquid-applied protective coating. 1051 can be an excellent middle-ground option for drivers who want enhanced protection and gloss without a full PPF installation.

Car Dreams Detailing offers AvantGuard 1051 with a 10-year warranty. The actual longevity and performance of any protective coating also depend on proper installation, vehicle use, washing, and ongoing maintenance.

1051 has a self-healing finish designed to help light scratches and imperfections fade with heat. It should not be considered a solution for deep scratches, rock chips, or significant physical paint damage.

Yes. Similar to Ceramic Coating, its hydrophobic properties help water and contaminants resist sticking to the coated surface, making routine washing and maintenance easier. It also provides the high-gloss finish that makes the vehicle look freshly detailed.

Car Dreams Detailing is one of a limited number of authorized AvantGuard 1051 installers in Canada. Our team combines professional installation with decades of detailing experience, including paint preparation and correction, to ensure the vehicle is properly prepared before the coating is applied.

People choose Car Dreams over other detailers because before applying the coating, our team assesses your vehicle's paint and completes the appropriate preparation to ensure the surface is clean, smooth, and ready for protection so that your car is protected for a very long time and looks better than new (said by our customers.)
