This ceramic coating excels in water beading and durability, achieving an amazing 108.2-degree contact angle and surviving over 1,000 abrasion cycles for long-lasting protection. The slick surface (0.18 SCOF) effectively reduces marring and scratching and improves decontamination.
The coating is beginner-friendly to apply, but not the easiest we've tested. A notable drawback is the loss of approximately 1.2 gloss units compared to uncoated paint. The coating's visual appeal varies considerably between red and black panels. Overall, this is a solid protective option for those prioritizing durability and water repellency over maximum gloss retention.
