I saw a video on youtube when I was looking for a coating choice for my new Jeep.
I saw a ceramic pro coating being beaten with a lighter and a quarter. No one mar. I call BS, a hood should have dented from that beating.
Of all the coatings I have experience with (All Non Pro formulas) EXO v1, EXO v2, Opticoat 2.0, Gloss Coat and Polish Angel Viking coat (This one is too new to say) all provide good protection. The EXO and Viking are more hydrophobic making them easier to dry woth a master blaster. The Optimum products stay more mar free and my son is no where close to an Autopian. Thinks nothing of leaning on the car in jeans. wiping up Bird bombs dry with a napkin and the 2.0 was awesome for 2 years and was polished and coated with Gloss Coats this past may and its doing great.
I think the mar resistance among the ones I mentioned is close. Each coating once you live with it has its strengths and weaknesses. For me it looks and slickness, for my wife and kids it ease of maintenance washes and durability to marring.
If I cant get 1.5 years minimum from a coating then the product is not for me unless its for a garage queen.
