From Installers to Innovators: Meet Aquatek

If there’s one thing every detailer knows, it’s that not all coatings are created equal. Some overpromise, some underdeliver—and some just get it right. That’s where Aquatek Coatings comes in. Built by detailers, for detailers, Aquatek is here to shake things up with pro-level coatings that are refreshingly easy to use.

Let’s break it down.

Why Aquatek?

Aquatek started with two guys—Mike Cardenas and Jason Warnock—who were neck-deep in the coating industry as installers and reps. After years of working with products that were either too complicated or didn’t deliver, they decided to take matters into their own hands.

Their mission? Build a brand with simple, high-performance products that professionals actually enjoy using. Zero fluff, just quality—and it shows. 

Aquatek coatings are made for fast and easy to installation due to the quick flash time and blended for hassle-free leveling under humid or less than ideal conditions.  These properties make them very mobile detailer friendly.

The coating technology creates an extremely hydrophobic surface that is resistant to heat, repels dirt, UV and is chemical resistant. In addition, it provides gloss to a properly prepared surface.

The Coating Lineup: Simple. Sophisticated. Solid.

Aquatek’s not about overwhelming you with a million different products. Instead, they’ve dialed in a tight lineup that hits all the right notes:

Select – An advanced paint finish coating offering exceptional gloss and protection for up to 3 years. It's user-friendly, with a quick flashing feature that simplifies application under various conditions.

Clarity – A window glass coating that enhances visibility and protection. It ensures water beads off easily, simplifies cleaning, and provides up to 6 months of protection for outdoor vehicles.

Profile – A professional-grade paint finish coating designed for Authorized Installers. It offers unparalleled gloss, depth, and protection, with a durability of up to 5 years. Its high-quality silica base materials ensure a superior finish.

Built by the Pros, Trusted by the Pros

Aquatek isn’t just popular because it’s easy to use—it’s popular because it works. Detailers across the country are making the switch, and some major players like Tactical Fleet are all-in. One quote sums it up:

“Aquatek’s ceramic coating has changed the game. Quality and reliability are what really set them apart.”

They’re loving the consistent results, the time-saving application, and the fact that the coatings just do what they say they do.
