MASTER APPLIED COATINGS

MAC now offers proprietary coatings formulated for aluminum, painted surfaces and fiberglass construction!

  • MAC Jacket

  • MAC Glāz

  • StrataCoat

  • Filiform Arrest

As our products continue to evolve we recognize that the best way to serve the needs of each customer is to formulate our products for the material composition of the vehicle.

Our coating is proprietary and we’re continually working with our chemists to formulate the hardest, most durable products in the industry.

This is why MAC has expanded our offerings to meet the needs of each customer with specialized services rather than a one size fits all coating.

MAC Jacket

MAC Jacket is our proprietary coating and industry gold standard of exterior protection. It’s beyond ceramic and forms a permanent molecular bond to your vehicle’s original factory foundation.

This product is formulated to be a permanent coating to protect against corrosion, oxidation, stains, scratches and UV, and it must be sanded off to be removed. This service offers:

  • Complete exterior detailing

  • Removal of swirl marks and light scratches

  • Includes treating filiform corrosion

  • Permanent coating with one application

  • Cost is approximately $195 a foot

If your rig is aluminum or has a painted finish and you plan on keeping your rig six years or longer, then MAC Jacket is the product for you. It provides superior protection and will be less expensive than yearly waxing.

Glāz is a proprietary wax that is formulated to last one year. This product offers excellent shine and protection that is superior to off the shelf wax at a big box store.

MAC Glāz

We call this product Glāz because it provides shine and protection that’s superior to traditional wax or Walbernize. This application offers:

  • Wash

  • Clay Bar/Rag

  • Premium Wax

  • Machine Application

  • Cost is $17-$23 per foot

Glāz packs a big punch and our detailing plus machine application are top notch! Note: Glace’ needs to be applied at least once a year and is not formulated to protect against corrosion or scratches.

StrataCoat is formulated for rigs that have oxidation or damage to the original factory finish. This formula is suitable for older rigs and those with more porous finishes that aren’t a good fit for our permanent MAC Jacket.

MAC StrataCoat

This proprietary coating slowly dissolves and needs to be reapplied every three years. This is the best application on the market for older rigs and the safest way to protect their surface long term.

  • Wash

  • Clay Bar/Rag

  • 3 Year Proprietary Coating

  • Hand Application

  • Cost is $100 per foot

UV causes the gel coating on fiberglass, even marine grade, to eventually break down and that causes the chalky finish that is prone to form. StrataCoat is formulated specifically for older fiberglass rigs and those with more porous surfaces.

Filiform corrosion occurs when moisture meets metal through a scratch in the clear coat and allows the filiform to spread like a spider web on top of the aluminum.

Corrosion Arrest

Airstreams are known to form filiform corrosion. This package is for customers who don’t want MAC Jacket or Glace’ but do want MAC’s expert arrest of corrosion. This application offers:

  • Arrest of visible corrosion by etching out the root.

  • Applying MAC Jacket coating over the exposed area to prevent moisture from reentering the impacted area.

  • Cost is determined by area of repair

We highly recommend treating corrosion in the early stage to prevent additional damage. Etching out the corrosion and sealing it is the only way to eliminate the filiform. Our repair will be visible but the damage will be stopped. MAC Jacket will only be applied over the areas that were targeted for filiform arrest.

Project Inquiry

PROTECTION

From DEEP scratches and the environment.

Driven through a chain link fence!

The owners of the Airstream were told by insurance that their rig was a total loss due to the scratches across it’s aluminum skin.

Fortunately, they’d had our permanent coating applied and it was so durable that the jagged metal fencing didn’t touch the Airstream’s original clear coat!

    Frank Hildebrand

  • "I knew that having my Airstream and truck ceramic coated was a good idea, but it turned out to be insurance I didn't know that I needed. I couldn't avoid a spill from a cement truck and drove my Airstream and tow vehicle through the cement slurry. MAC's coating alIowed me to literally rinse the dried mixture off of my vehicles without a scratch."

    Dave Purinton

  • "Love my ceramic coating! We’ve only had it for a short time, but I drove almost 800 miles home after pick up through the Florida panhandle and Louisiana in early summer. We had a few bugs on the top front, but 90% of them hosed off easily. The shine and lack of perpetual water spots is glorious!"
