Aegis grew from the success of its flagship product, Lazer Glaze, a high-performance nano-ceramic car polish developed to deliver professional-grade protection and durability. As the formulation proved itself in real-world applications, the opportunity became clear: expand the chemistry beyond automotive polish into a broader platform of surface protection solutions.
Today, Aegis develops a complete line of clean, seal, and protect products designed for automotive, marine, residential, and industrial surfaces. Each formulation is built on the same philosophy that guided the original Lazer Glaze development—real chemistry, proven performance, and practical solutions that work in the field.
Behind Aegis is a team that combines advanced chemical expertise, disciplined business leadership, and decades of market experience. Together they develop products designed not just to clean surfaces, but to protect and extend their life.
LAZER GLAZE is the signature polish that launched the Aegis product platform. Engineered for deep gloss and long-lasting protection, it delivers professional-grade performance on vehicles, boats, and other high-performance surfaces where durability matters.
But Lazer Glaze was only the beginning. Building on the success of this nano-ceramic formulation, Aegis is expanding the chemistry into a broader ecosystem of Clean, Seal, and Protect solutions, engineered to deliver superior performance across a wide range of surfaces and applications.
James Young is an accomplished chemist with more than six decades of experience developing industrial solvents, cleaners, and protective coatings. He began his career as the lead chemist at DuBois Chemicals and holds the patent for liquid chlorine detergent, developed early in his career. Over the decades, James has solved complex formulation challenges for industrial and commercial clients, earning a reputation for precision, innovation, and results.
James’s journey began in a coal camp in Eastern Kentucky. At just 14 years old, with less than $15 to his name, he left home and made his way to Cincinnati, Ohio. There, he washed dishes to pay for a boarding house bed, put himself through high school, and ultimately earned a degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Cincinnati.
Though retired from formal corporate roles, James continues to develop custom formulations from his lab, working directly with long-time clients. His innovations span degreasers, ceramic sealants, and high-performance detergents—many of which form the foundation of the Aegis product line.
Tim Campbell brings decades of entrepreneurial and operational leadership in managed services, workforce solutions, and technology integration. He started his early career as an engineer at IBM, and went on to be the founder and president of multiple companies, including L2 Source, ContingentCrew, and CenterGrid, where he has led innovation in technology-enabled workforce management and enterprise service delivery.
Tim’s vision for Aegis Sealants grew from his long-time collaboration with chemist James Young. Recognizing the market demand for high-performance surface protection products that combine industrial-grade chemistry with practical commercial applications, Tim helped shape the strategy that brought these formulations to market.
At Aegis, Tim oversees operations, business development, and brand strategy, focusing on building scalable systems that translate advanced chemistry into real-world solutions for customers.
