Available from Mike Details for Mechanicsburg and surrounding Central Pennsylvania. Final fit, preparation, pricing, and warranty eligibility require vehicle inspection.

Specialty, exotic, and unusual vehicles require an inspection-led recommendation instead of a published category price. Surface condition, finish, preparation, coverage, and any PPF combination are confirmed in the written quote.
A distinct protection category
Not wax. Not ceramic. Not liquid PPF.
The product is described by Icon Rocklear as a two-part hybrid coating mixed at a 10-to-1 ratio and bonded to painted or gelcoat surfaces by trained technicians. It is designed to bridge the space between conventional ceramic coatings and full-body film without pretending that every protection system serves the same purpose.
Thicker barrier
Published materials say the coating can achieve 2.5 mils, or up to 63 microns, on the protected surface.
Finish depth
Designed to enhance gloss and paint depth while supporting easier routine cleaning.
Environmental resistance
Positioned for UV, salt, chemicals, weather, pollution, and frequent outdoor exposure.
Localized repairability
Published guidance says minor surface damage can often be polished or addressed locally after evaluation.
Choose by threat, not trend
The right system depends on how you drive.
Mike Details can compare Icon Rocklear, conventional ceramic coating, and PPF around exposure, impact risk, finish goals, and budget. No coating makes a vehicle scratch-proof or impact-proof.
| Decision point | Ceramic coating | Icon Rocklear | Paint protection film |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary role | Gloss, hydrophobics, chemical and UV resistance | Thicker hybrid coating barrier and environmental protection | Physical film for impact-prone areas |
| Rock-chip priority | Not its primary function | More robust than conventional coatings, but not damage-proof | Most direct choice for high-energy impact protection |
| Typical fit | Garage-kept or lower-exposure vehicles | Daily drivers, outdoor storage, salt, weather, and frequent exposure | Highway, performance, track, off-road, and leading-edge coverage |
| Combination strategy | Can support an easier-care finish | Can be installed with PPF on high-impact areas | Can protect the front while Icon covers more painted surface |
Published test profile

Thickness comparison
Published comparison based on achievable coating build versus standard ceramic coatings.
“Up to 75× stronger” is also published by the source, but the microsite does not fully define the strength metric. Mike Details presents that figure only with attribution and does not use it as an independent performance guarantee.

Vehicle substrate
This Mike Details diagram explains a common combined strategy: use film where direct impact is the dominant risk and a coating system across additional stable painted surfaces. Actual layer selection follows inspection.
Where it can fit
One coating system. Multiple painted surfaces.
Automotive
Daily drivers, enthusiast vehicles, motorcycles, and off-road vehicles.
Marine
Painted and gelcoat surfaces on boats and other watercraft, subject to inspection.
RV + motorhome
Large painted surfaces that face sun, weather, road film, and regular travel.
Maintenance + candidacy
Protected still means maintained.
Wash regularly with mild soap and water.
Automated washes can create light surface marks; careful hand washing is preferred.
Minor surface scratches may be polishable after professional evaluation.
Older vehicles can qualify when the paint is stable and correctable.
Clear-coat failure or significant paint damage may require correction or repair before protection.
Published warranty context
15 years painted. 7 years gelcoat.
Icon Rocklear publishes a 15-year manufacturer warranty for painted surfaces and a 7-year warranty for gelcoat surfaces. Eligibility, registration, maintenance, exclusions, covered damage, and remedy terms control. Mike Details will review the applicable documentation for a proposed installation; these periods are not an unconditional promise that every surface or event is covered.
