This video compares eight different ceramic coatings for cars, testing their ability to protect paint and plastic from various harsh cleaning agents and environmental factors. The goal is to determine which coating offers the best protection and ease of application at different price points.
Ease of Application: Spray-on coatings (Hybrid Solutions, Fortify Quick Coat, Shine Armor, Cerakote, Griot's Garage) were easiest to apply, receiving a rating of 1. Gtechniq and 28 Ceramic Graphene Coating received a rating of 1.5, while Adams received a rating of 2.
Overall Performance: Gtechniq consistently outperformed other coatings in all tests (slickness, hydrophobicity, resistance to cleaning agents), earning the highest rating. Adams Polishes also performed exceptionally well.
Budget-Friendly Option: Hybrid Solutions, despite its low price, showed surprisingly good performance in initial tests but suffered damage from harsher cleaning agents.
Poor Performers: Shine Armor consistently underperformed, showing significant damage from most cleaning agents. 28 Ceramic Graphene Coating also struggled in several tests.
Durability: Gtechniq and Adams demonstrated superior durability, maintaining excellent performance even after exposure to strip wash, iron remover, bug and tar remover, wheel and tire cleaner, and degreaser.
