Both coating are rising gloss levels.

Ceramic Coating:

a.) Usually 9H hardness (400 absolute hardness) or grater

b.) 1 micron thickness

c.) Hard & Durable Protective Layer against:

- Wash swirls
- UV rays
- Chemicals ranging from pH2 - pH12
- Tree sap, tar and water spots are easier to remove
- Temperature fom -40C to 250C

d.) Gloss & Slickness

e.) Water contact angle 95 degrees

f.) Durability 3 - 9 years

Hydrophobic Coating:

a.) Usually 7H hardness (100 absolute hardness) or grater

b.) 0.5 micron thickness

c.) Highly Hydrophobic Protective Layer against:

- Light wash swirls
- UV rays
- Chemicals ranging from pH3 - pH13
- Temperature to 150C

d.) High Glossy finish

e.) Water contact angle - 110 degrees

f.) Durability 18 months to 2 years
