Personal Opinion,

If you go with Ceramic Coating, go with a brand that uses 9h ceramic coat. 9h is the corresponding value companies use to determine hardness and scratch resistance.

Its literally used with a pencil as pencil lead has a hardness from I think 6B-9H. (9h being the hardest pencil lead) and that determines what it can resist.

Ceramic Pro uses 9h in their formula, which forms a hard surface that can resist scratches from Graphite up to a 9H hardness. That includes dust and some small rocks. A key will still scratch the surface of the car.

The benefit to this is that if you go with their "gold package" they layer on 4 layers, which is good for the lifetime of the vehicle. Which means, that for the rest of the vehicles life, it will have an extra coating of super hard 9h which will prevent a lot of scratches.

Any other Ceramic Coat is mostly temporary and requires it to be re-added every few months to every few years. I've had my coating on for 2 years and my entire car (minus the lower front bumper) still looks like I just got it from the dealership. And I dont wax the car every 6 months and its just as hydrophobic.
