Xzilon

What Xzilon does

Xzilon Molecular Adhesion is a US vehicle appearance-protection company that formulates and distributes covalent-bonding surface coatings for automotive, RV, marine, motorcycle, and powersports vehicles. Its core technology is a carbon ceramic polymeric coating system — infused with graphene in the exterior line — that chemically bonds to vehicle clear coat, glass, interior surfaces, alloy wheels, and touch screens rather than sitting on top like wax-based products. Key product lines include Carbon Ceramic with Graphene Exterior Protection (heat resistance up to 700°F versus roughly 150°F for wax), Xmicrobe Hypergreen interior chemistry (over four decades of cited efficacy), TouchScreen+ Glass Modifier, Windshield+ Glass Modifier with superhydrophobic water repellency, Diamond Grade 9H Ceramic Technology, Liquid Corrosion Protection, and Interior Protect hydrophobic chemistries, plus vertical-specific programs for RV, motorcycle, marine, and powersports with warranty terms of 5-10 years.

The company sells exclusively through a B2B distribution model: automotive dealerships integrate Xzilon products into their F&I (Finance & Insurance) lineups at point of sale, with detail shops and independent agents serving as secondary channels, and a private-label program allowing other brands to resell Xzilon chemistries under their own branding with full-service manufacturing, packaging, claims handling, and reinsurance under one roof. Revenue is generated from one-time product sales (F&I add-ons), private-label licensing/contract-manufacturing fees, and warranty claims administration, with no direct-to-consumer retail presence and no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Xzilon was founded in 2003, acquired by Caring Brands International in early 2019, and joined the Reynolds and Reynolds family of companies in July 2023, where it operates as a focused subsidiary serving the US automotive and transportation protection markets.
