Once the coating is cured, it's hardness is measured to be above 9H. Factory clear coat is measured to be between 2H and 4H. Since the increase is significant, this makes it the hardest paint coating on the market today. This glass like shield prevents minor scratches to the clear coat and becomes a sacrificial layer to preserve the original factory paint and keep it intact. 

Scratches you see on the surface are only effected to the coating and not the original clear coat. This makes polishing the car super easy and keeps the original clear coat intact. With a ceramic coating, your paint will not fade or crack thanks to the UV protection in the glass coating. A ceramic coating is an additional clear coat layer, only a lot harder and stronger. All of this allows for more peace of mind and a fuller enjoyment of your vehicle, even in harsh environments.

This nano technology allows the Ceramic nano-particles to completely fill even the smallest of pores in the paint which will make the glass shield shiny, smooth and extremely hydrophobic. Glossy, slick and self-cleaning - this allows for lower surface tension preventing environmental contaminants such as: bird droppings, bugs, dirt, tar and graffiti paint from bonding to the surface. Water will easily remove the dirt by encapsulating it while rolling off the surface. This is called the self-cleaning effect.

Once the Ceramic Pro glass shield has cured it can only be removed by wet sanding. This puts ceramic coatings in a category by itself, compared to sealants or waxes that degrade very quickly.
