For 2020 I had the following test on my daily driver. I will be posting up the final results soon. I have been occupied with other projects lately.

For 2021 I will be doing something similar. With the whole graphene buzzword, I am including a mix of ceramic and graphene coatings.
I am going to apply the number of recommended layers for each coating. Essentially if a coating calls for one layer then it will only get one layer. If it calls for two then I will do two with the recommended time between layers.
I am also not going to be applying any toppers to this area once again.
I paid for all of these coatings other than the sample of IGL Quartz+ I received for the 2020 test. Smart shopping where it counts and the total amount for these coatings came out to be $1,558.35.
The candidates are the following:
Ceramic Coatings:
Graphene Ceramic Coatings:
Based on the price I paid the lowest cost per ml goes to P&S Sol at $1.04/ml. The highest goes to IGL Kenzo at $4.17/ml based on 40ml (20ml base, 20ml top). IGL Kenzo is an authorized installer coating so keep that in mind.
When it comes to strictly ceramic cost per ml, P&S Sol is the lowest and the highest is the CSL/Exo at $2.42/ml (based on the price I paid at obsessed garage for the 60ml kit).
When it comes to the graphene coatings, IGL Kenzo is the highest and the lowest is Adams at $1.07/ml. If we are speaking about consumer graphene coatings the highest cost per ml goes to Ethos at $2.83/ml.
I will post up the application of the coatings when I get to that point.
