Durable Aerodynamic & Aesthetic Improvement
Improving aerodynamic efficiency, airframe protection, and appearance as tested by the world’s most recognized aircraft manufacturers
Benefits
Operational Efficiency
Because a ToughGuard-Aero® treated aircraft significantly reduces parasitic drag by repelling surface contamination, immediate and long-term operational benefits can be realized. Reduction of cleaning maintenance costs, increasing the life of the paint and improvement to fuel efficiency are some of the economical benefits of the ToughGuard-Aero® paint sealant coating.
Lower Maintenance Costs
Our non-toxic formula creates a barrier that bonds, seals, and protects against the costly effects of environmental damage. Our Nano-technology formula locks onto the surface of your aircraft at the molecular level. The end result is a shield that shuts out corrosion and other costly contaminants.
Striking Aesthetics
First impressions matter, especially when they are in front of an important client. Nowhere is this more important than in the aviation community where passenger safety must be clearly communicated. A stunningly brilliant aircraft delivers that message. It says that you care.
Much more than a wax
ToughGuard-Aero® is superior to all other surface protection products on the market – even ceramic coatings. What separates ToughGuard-Aero from the competition is the our propriety formulation which is made up with 12 different components that includes a precise amount of an infused natural inorganic resin. This resin physically bonds with the existing paint coating system creating a depth of shine and gloss greater than new paint coatings. Our resin creates a true armor coat that protects the paint from harmful environmental elements such as rain erosion, chemicals, pollution, UV rays, acid rain, bird and insect waste. The ToughGuard-Aero coating is free of Teflon® and silicon, contains anti-static properties and has been scientifically proven to reduce surface roughness on fresh painted surfaces.
Keep that new plane feel
ToughGuard-Aero®’s interior products protect fabric, leather & vinyl by preventing stains, shedding spills and repelling dirt. Protection from stains and spotting include hard-to-clean red grape juices and commonly found dye transfers from blue-jeans onto light colored interiors like grey and tan/beige leather materials. ToughGuard-Aero®’s fabric protection product not only protects your interior colors, but makes clean-up easy by simply blotting-up the spill.

STEP 1 – Preparation Wash
Deep thorough cleaning process –
The ToughGuard-Aero prep wash cleans the painted surfaces down to the microscopic level. This wash prepares the paint for the STEP 2 – ToughGuard-Aero coating by removing existing pollutants, waxes and other sealant products.
STEP 2 – ToughGuard Coating
Ease of Application –
Due to the low surface tension of our ToughGuard-Aero Sealant Coating, a little bit of product goes a long way. Customers around the world marvel at the ease of the application process and at the brilliant results of the ToughGuard-Aero Sealant coating.
STEP 3
Cure time –
Once the ToughGuard-Aero Sealant Coating is applied we recommend 12 hours of curing time before you get your bird airborne. This cure time ensures a complete and thorough bonding of our resin with the paint. ToughGuard guarantees the durability and shine of your aircraft’s finish for a minimum of 2 years after initial application by one of our authorized dealers.
Corporate / Business
An extension of success, the appearance of your corporate aircraft says a lot about how your run your business. ToughGuard-Aero® keeps you looking good and helps you preserve the value of your investment while operating more efficiently.
Commercial Aviation
Because of a competitive operating environment, commercial aircraft must realize dollar savings and brand enhancing benefits with every leg segment. ToughGuard-Aero® delivers a competitive advantage in fuel savings and durable aesthetics.
Private / Sport
When you’re out to win, there’s no substitute for operating with the best products on the market! ToughGuard-Aero® is the brand when second best is not good enough.
Military / Government
The rigors of demanding military flight operations can be tough on long-lasting efficiency programs for these mission specific aircraft, but then again, there’s a reason our products are so named, “ToughGuard-Aero®!”
Rotary Wing
Rotary wing aircraft accumulate contaminants from low altitude operations and sooty engine build-up. ToughGuard-Aero® remedies both with our “JOLT” carbon cleaning agent followed by our Step “1” and Step “2” protective coatings.
UAV
Often operating in demanding conditions with extended loiter times, UAVs represent a unique platform where the positive effects from enhanced aerodynamic efficiency can really make a difference.
Turboprops
Turboprops also represent a real aesthetic challenge because of telltale turbine exhaust buildup. Hard to clean skin-rivets and paint are no match for our Step “0” agent and our Step “1” and “2” process creates a barrier that makes future maintenance easy.
Airships
Lighter than air vehicles pose a particular aerodynamic challenge because of their massive total surface-area. ToughGuard-Aero® smoothes surface friction and facilitates surface maintenance so that these large aircraft also enjoy greater operating efficiencies.
