Ottawa's First & Only Avant Guard Installer
Avant Guard Ceramic Coating in Ottawa, ON
A New Standard in Ceramic Protection
What Makes Avant Guard Different?
Avant Guard is a professional-grade ceramic coating brand built specifically for the automotive detailing industry. Their Formula 1051 product is a high-solids, nano-ceramic coating that bonds directly to your vehicle's clear coat, forming a rigid, glass-like layer on the surface.
Unlike entry-level coatings, Formula 1051 is engineered to deliver serious chemical resistance, exceptional hardness, and a deep, reflective gloss that holds up over time. This is the kind of product that earns its place in a professional shop because of what it actually does, not just how it looks on a shelf.
The result is a surface that sheds water, resists environmental contamination, and makes routine maintenance dramatically easier. Your vehicle stays cleaner between washes, and when you do wash it, the process is faster and gentler on the paint.
Not sure whether you need Ceramic Coating or Paint Protection Film?
Formula 1051 gives you the best of both.
Formula 1051 is our most advanced paint protection package, combining the deep gloss and water-repelling properties of a premium ceramic coating with self-healing technology typically associated with paint protection film.
The result is a vehicle that stays cleaner, shines longer, and is better protected from the harsh realities of everyday driving.
Road salt, UV rays, bird droppings, bug splatter, tree sap, and environmental contaminants are less likely to bond to the surface, while light wash marring and minor surface scratches can diminish with heat.
Backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty, Formula 1051 is designed for owners who want long-term protection without compromise.

- 10-Year Manufacturer Warranty
- Self-Healing Technology
- Exceptional Gloss & Depth

What You Get with Avant Guard
The Benefits of a Professional Ceramic Coating
Hydrophobic Surface
Water beads up and rolls off the surface, carrying dirt with it. Your car stays cleaner for longer between washes.
Chemical Resistance
The coating acts as a barrier against acidic contaminants like bird droppings, bug splatter, and road salt, preventing them from etching into your clear coat.
Enhanced Gloss
Avant Guard Formula 1051 amplifies the depth and clarity of your paint, delivering a showroom finish that lasts.
Easier Maintenance
Because contaminants cannot bond to the surface as easily, washing your vehicle takes less time, less product, and less effort.
Precision from the First Step to the Last
How We Apply Your Avant Guard Coating
Applying a ceramic coating correctly takes preparation, skill, and a controlled environment. Our certified technicians follow the same proven process for every vehicle that comes through our doors.
Paint Decontamination
We begin with a thorough hand wash and full decontamination of the paint surface. This removes bonded iron particles, tar, and environmental debris that a standard wash cannot touch.
Paint Correction
Any swirl marks, light scratches, or surface imperfections are addressed before the coating goes on. Sealing in defects is not something we do. We correct first, then coat.
Surface Preparation
The entire vehicle is wiped down with a panel prep solution to remove polishing oils and residues, ensuring the strongest possible bond between the coating and the clear coat.
Coating Application
Our technicians apply the Avant Guard Formula 1051 panel by panel under controlled lighting. Even coverage and a clean application are non-negotiable.
Curing
The coating is allowed to cure fully in our shop before the vehicle is returned. This step is what turns a good application into a lasting one.
Final Inspection
We perform a thorough quality check before handing the keys back. You will not leave unless we are satisfied with the result.

Your Questions, Answered
Frequently Asked Questions about Avant Guard Coating
What is Avant Guard Formula 1051?
Avant Guard Formula 1051 is a professional nano-ceramic coating designed for automotive use. It bonds with your vehicle's clear coat to create a durable, hydrophobic, glass-like layer that protects the paint and enhances its appearance. It is a trade-grade product applied only by trained detailing professionals.
How long does an Avant Guard coating last?
The longevity of any ceramic coating depends on the product, the quality of the application, and how the vehicle is maintained after coating. Our team will walk you through care instructions and warranty details at the time of your appointment so you know exactly what to expect.
Is paint correction required before the coating?
In most cases, yes. Ceramic coatings lock in whatever condition the paint is in when they are applied. If your vehicle has swirl marks, light scratches, or oxidation, those imperfections will be sealed beneath the coating. We perform a paint assessment on every vehicle and will recommend the appropriate level of correction before your coating is applied.
How is this different from the other ceramic coatings you offer?
JREK Autocare offers several professional ceramic coating options, including products from Gtechniq and Diamond ProTech. Avant Guard Formula 1051 is a separate product line that brings its own unique formulation and performance profile. Our team can walk you through the differences and help you choose the option that best fits your vehicle and your goals.
Can I book the Avant Guard coating as a mobile service?
Professional ceramic coating applications require a clean, controlled environment to ensure a flawless result and a warranty-backed finish. Because of this, Avant Guard coating is performed exclusively at our Ottawa shop locations. Our mobile detailing service is available for other cleaning and maintenance needs.
How do I care for my vehicle after the coating is applied?
After your coating is applied and cured, maintenance is straightforward. We recommend washing with a pH-neutral car soap and a clean microfiber mitt, using the two-bucket method to avoid introducing new contaminants. Our team will provide you with a complete care guide at pickup so you can protect your investment properly from day one.
