Prediction - More one-step Cleaner/Coatings or Primers
Been wanting to post this thread for some time now, today seems like the time. Historically, the category for products that clean, polish and protect is called,
Cleaner/Wax
Now days, everyone uses the word AIO or All-in-One. So that's why in the title I switched out the word wax in cleaner/wax and used the word coating so cleaner/coating. And in the short time that this new aspect of this category has been around the word PRIMER has been used and seems to be sticking.
Here's the term I like though, (nothing wrong with the word primer)
Ceramic AIO
And the word ceramic in the term Ceramic AIO is being used in the general sense of the word. The protection ingredient may be something non-ceramic but it will be in the nano family of things.
With all the popularity lately with one step AIOs or cleaner/waxes, that is, products that will compound, polish and wax the paint in one step. Or compound, polish and seal the paint in one step, I predict, moving into the future there will be an increase in one-step products only instead of a traditional wax substance for protection or a traditional synthetic sealant for protection these new products will use some form of ceramic nano glass particles for protection AND be compatible with topping using a ceramic paint coating.
Here's the current selection of these types of products on the AG store.
GYEON Q2 Primer 1000 ml.
CarPro Essence Xtreme Gloss Enhancer 500 ml.
Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Polish and Wax
Dr. Beasley's Nano Surface Primers
I know of at least one chemist, possibly two chemists working on such products.

Dr. Beasley’s NSP Z1
Dr. Beasley’s NSP Z1 is a one-step primer and nanocoating designed for new or lightly contaminated vehicles. Dr. Beasley’s NSP Z1 works best on cars that don’t need a high degree of paintwork correction as it contains a unique nanostructure. The formula of Dr. Beasley’s NSP Z1 is made with TiO2, SiO2 and engineered abrasives. Protecting your car for a year or more, Dr. Beasley’s NSP Z1 can be layered with waxes, sealants and other coatings.
Dr. Beasley’s NSP Z1 is a nanocoating, making the surface of your vehicle scratch resistant with improved hardness. As nanocoating, it will also make your car easy to clean, protect against staining and etching, while still producing a sharp, hydrophobic gloss. The nanocoating that makes up Dr. Beasley’s NSP Z1 has resin formula that contains SiO2 and TiO2.
But what exactly are theses SiO2 and TiO2 compounds that it contains? You may have heard of SiO2. SiO2 brings you water beading capabilities and shine, as well as durable protection. TiO2 is not as common. TiO2 is found in nanocoating’s and is scientifically called titanium dioxide. This compound is white in color with reflective properties. This means that TiO2 can scatter and absorb UV rays, while also heightening brightness, being non-toxic and non-reactive. Therefore, with the combination of these two compounds, you get enhanced durability, protection, water beading and shine.
Dr. Beasley’s NSP Z1 is also made with microsphere abrasives that blend together several grades of cutting, buffing and finishing particles in one to achieve a multi-step shine in just one step, hence why it is referenced as a one-step primer. The larger microspheres cut, the smaller microspheres buff and the diminishing ones finish. All these microsphere abrasives lead to deep reflectivity.
You don’t have to think twice about applying Dr. Beasley’s NSP Z1 on top of other products as it can be layered with waxes, sealants and other coatings of similar durability. Plus, Dr. Beasley’s NSP Z1 will last you at least one year’s worth of protection.
Directions:
-For best results, conduct a thorough decontamination prior to application.
-Starting with a panel or small area, conduct 5-8 section passes using a foam pad and machine buffer at a medium speed.
-Wipe away with a clean microfiber towel and visually inspect paint with a powerful light to observe results.
-Repeat steps 2-3 on each panel or small area until all paintwork has been buffed to desired results.
After Care:
-To ensure durability, wash every 2 weeks with Ceramic Body Wash and rejuvenate every 3 months with AdvanceCoat: Gloss. With proper after-care, NSP Z1 protection can last a year or more on even a daily driver.
8 oz.
