How Long Does MAXL Really Last? Unfiltered Owner Reviews
MAXL claims their ceramic coatings last for months thanks to their proprietary “Triphene” technology. But real-world users are telling a different story.
Let’s look at actual customer reviews and what they reveal about MAXL’s durability—and compare it to a product that holds up.
What Real Users Are Saying
“Not the product it was marketed as.”
“My cars had to be buffed thoroughly after application and still left patchy swirl marks… The product went in the trash.”
– Scotr (Google Review)
“Frauds.”
“Guess you pay these people to say all this stuff. I got ripped off for $62.”
– Betty Wilson (Google Review)
“It smears and does not work.”
“Smears and doesn’t work if there’s even dust on the car.”
– Marlene Edsen (Google Review)
Common Complaints
- ❌ Performance drops after 1–2 washes
- ❌ Patchy results, streaks, or smearing
- ❌ Difficult to remove or correct when applied improperly
- ❌ Lack of clear prep instructions
- ❌ Delayed or unfulfilled orders
The pattern is clear—despite slick marketing, MAXL coatings fall short when put to real-world use.
What’s Missing from MAXL?
Great ceramic protection starts with proper prep and a chemistry that can actually bond. MAXL gives neither.
- No emphasis on prep = poor adhesion
- No durability testing = no accountability
- Vague “Triphene” = no technical transparency

- 3–6 months of real-world protection
- Works on paint, trim, glass, and wheels
