Why Some Shops Want You to Avoid Icon Rocklear

Table of Contents

If you’ve been exploring paint protection options in Calgary, you might’ve come across some shops advising you to steer clear of Icon Rocklear. But here’s the truth: Icon Rocklear isn’t for every installer. It’s a high-performance coating that demands expertise and precision, which means those spreading misinformation are likely doing so out of misunderstanding or lack of experience with the product.

The fact is, if a shop is pushing disinformation, it says more about their fears and character than it does about Icon Rocklear itself. Our detailed 5-star reviews from actual paying clients speak volumes about the results we deliver, while the competition is left on the outside looking in.

1. They Didn’t Make the Cut

Icon Rocklear isn’t something just anyone can offer or install. Being the world’s toughest paint protection coating, it’s a premium product. And not every shop can meet the standards required to become a certified installer. Some of these shops tried but didn’t qualify. Others never even tried. Icon Rocklear Calgary holds installers to the highest level of craftsmanship, professionalism, and excellence – and not every shop can deliver that.

Many shops simply didn’t make the cut, and instead of acknowledging that, they’ve chosen to criticize the product. It’s easier for them to mislead consumers than to admit they don’t have access to it.

2. They’re Selling Inferior Products

The shops pushing you away from Icon Rocklear are promoting outdated products like ceramic or graphene coatings. While these coatings may have been popular in the past, they fall short in comparison to Icon Rocklear’s performance.

Icon Rocklear is 75x stronger, 35x thicker, and 30% glossier than ceramic coatings. It requires ZERO annual maintenance and comes with a 20 year warranty, unlike ceramics which need boosters, toppers, etc every 6-12 months.

It’s in a completely different league. Icon Rocklear is the world’s toughest paint protection coating — a one-and-done system guaranteed to last 20 years.

When it comes to protecting your vehicle from rock chips, scratches, gravel, and other real-world hazards, Icon Rocklear is in a league of its own.

3. The Revenue Impact

These shops are seeing the writing on the wall: consumers are waking up. People are realizing that ceramics don’t offer the real-world protection they’re promised.

We’ve had countless clients come to us after learning the hard way – chips, swirls, scratches, and damage that their ceramic coatings couldn’t stop.

Icon Rocklear, on the other hand, does what ceramics claim to do but can’t deliver. And that’s hitting their bottom line hard.

4. Disinformation from Those Who Haven’t Tried It

It’s important to understand that the shops spreading misinformation about Icon Rocklear have never used it, tested it, tried it, or installed it themselves. Their negative comments are based on assumptions & fears rather than firsthand experience. 

At Tap and Shine, we’ve worked with Icon Rocklear extensively, and we stand by its results. We know the truth – and so do our clients, which is why most of our clients return to get their other vehicles coated with Icon Rocklear.

5. We’re Leading the Market, and Competitors Are Feeling the Shift

At Tap and Shine, we’re proud to offer a product that’s setting new standards in vehicle protection. Naturally, this means we’re attracting discerning clients who value the best, and as a result, some shops are finding it hard to compete. Rather than stepping up their game, they’ve resorted to spreading misinformation.

We understand that change can be challenging, but we remain focused on delivering the highest level of excellence and continuing to lead the Calgary market.

If you want to know the truth about Icon Rocklear:

Remember that false information comes from those who don’t have access to the product, are still selling inferior alternatives, or are simply feeling the effects of changing market preferences.
