Factory Forever
More Than a Ceramic Coating
63 Microns of Long-Term Paint Preservation
At Alpha Detailing, we specialize in advanced paint protection for vehicle owners who want considerably more substantial protection than a traditional ceramic coating.
While conventional ceramic coatings typically create a very thin protective layer measured at approximately 1–3 microns, current ICON Rocklear specifications state a finished thickness of approximately 63 microns in a single application. That difference matters.
Instead of relying primarily on a microscopic sacrificial coating for gloss, hydrophobic behaviour, and easier maintenance, ICON Rocklear creates a considerably more substantial protective layer over the vehicle's painted surface.
Canadian vehicles endure some of the most demanding driving conditions imaginable: winter road salt and brine, sand, UV exposure, environmental contamination, wash-induced wear, road debris, temperature extremes, and thousands of kilometres of everyday use.
Tested through 12 independent ASTM test methods, including 1,000 hours of ASTM B117 salt-spray exposure and 4,000 hours of ASTM D4587 UV and condensation testing with no visible change. ICON Rocklear is built for the environment your vehicle actually lives in.
It is designed to help preserve the clear coat underneath while maintaining the depth, clarity, gloss, and appearance enthusiasts expect. You are not simply coating the paint. You are adding a protective layer between the paint and the environment.
No gimmicks. No annual re-coating fees. Just 63 microns of tested protection, genuine 15-year warranty coverage, and meticulous installation.
Protect the Paint. Preserve the Value. Enjoy the Vehicle.
Proudly serving Bradford, York Region, Simcoe County and surrounding communities.

Intelligent Protection Strategy
PPF Where You Need Impact Protection. ICON Everywhere Else.
Intelligent protection built around how your vehicle is actually driven.
No coating should be sold as a replacement for Paint Protection Film when stone-chip protection is the primary concern. The front of your vehicle receives dramatically more physical impact than doors, roof, trunk, and quarter panels. We combine specialized Paint Protection Film across high-impact areas (front bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors) with ICON Rocklear across remaining painted surfaces for 63-micron long-term preservation, gloss, and durability. Two technologies. Two different jobs. One complete protection strategy.
Why Protect a New Vehicle?
Factory paint begins experiencing environmental exposure from the moment it enters service. Road salt, wash marks, contamination, and UV degrade clear coat quickly. Protecting a vehicle while the paint is new allows us to focus on preservation instead of restoration. The best time to protect factory paint is while it still looks like factory paint.

Questions
ICON Rocklear, answered plainly
Thickness, warranty, stone chips, and whether you need a yearly re-coat.
How thick is ICON Rocklear compared with ceramic coating?
ICON Rocklear is specified at about 63 microns in a single application. A typical ceramic coating is about 1 to 3 microns.
What warranty comes with an ICON Rocklear install?
A 15-year automotive coating warranty on qualifying painted surfaces, with one inspection within 18 months. There is no yearly re-coat required to keep that warranty.
Does ICON Rocklear stop stone chips?
No. Stone-chip protection is the job of paint protection film. ICON Rocklear covers the rest of the painted surfaces for long-term preservation. Many packages use both.
Do I need a yearly re-coat?
No. Current ICON specifications call for one installation, with one inspection within 18 months, and no annual re-coating cycle.
