MAXL’s Triphene Tech – Real Innovation or Just Hype?
MAXL says Triphene is “molecular-level coating tech” built to outperform ceramics. But does this next-gen buzzword deliver anything new—or is it just a rebrand?
We took a deep dive into MAXL’s Triphene claims, what it really is, and how it compares to proven ceramic sprays like Tough As Shell.
What MAXL Says About Triphene
- ✅ “Advanced multi-layer bond”
- ✅ “High surface tension and gloss”
- ✅ “Hydrophobic coating that lasts months”
They position it as more durable than typical ceramic sprays. But there’s no SDS, no detailed chemistry, and no lab data available on-site.
What Triphene Really Is (Our Take)
After testing the MAXEASY Triphene coating, here’s what we found:
- ⚠️ It’s likely a ceramic spray with modified polymer additives
- ✅ Beading is good on day 1–5
- ⚠️ No significant performance beyond top-tier ceramic sprays
Verdict: The results are decent, but we’ve seen it before—just with less dramatic names.
How Triphene Stacks Up Against Tough As Shell
| Feature | MAXL Triphene | Tough As Shell |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | 2–3 weeks of solid beading | 4–6 weeks or more |
| Application | Can streak on trim | Streak-free, even in sun |
| Surface Compatibility | Paint only | Paint, trim, glass, wheels |
Tough As Shell simply outperforms it in durability and ease of use—without the hype.
What About Gloss?
MAXL Triphene does leave a nice gloss initially, but it begins to fade after a couple washes.
If you want deep, long-lasting gloss: Start with Picture Perfect Polish, then seal with Gloss Boss for up to 5 years of protection.

Final Thoughts
Triphene isn’t a scam—but it’s not a revolution either. It performs like other upper-tier ceramic sprays, but doesn’t justify the hype or the label.
Marketing can’t replace chemistry. Let your results speak louder.
