You keep saying that, but I don't think you have a clue what you are talking about. And even if you are correct, and you aren't, what makes you think that being "harder" equates to a resistance to scratching?? In many cases, it is the opposite.

It is my understanding (and pretty much everybody but you on this thread) that ceramics bond with the clear coat essentially filling in small gaps in the clearcoat making the surface smoother. A smoother surface has a lower coefficient of friction meaning that dirt, water, etc. all shed from the surface easier than a less-smooth surface.
