Darn Black was sold out when I went to purchase, will try again in a few weeks

Besides how long the BLACK Edition lasts - it also claims

Water sheeting and water beading
Better resistance to chemical attack
A 9h hardness finish


So actually - quite a few things are different.

Here's the links to both of my reviews.


For the Pro Ceramic Coating I use an old 2-door Ford - AND my writ-up is basically a step-by-step how-to book on how to prep and install a coating.

Major difference is most likely the resin and the bonding agent in it. Most claims of hardness is not relevant except for the fact that it does tell you of the concentration of siloxane in the actual resin that goes on your paint. I'm guessing Black Edition has a much denser concentration of SiO2 in the resin vs Pro edition. Pro edition is also most likely a single layer of resin with SiO2 and a bonding agent underneath while Black Edition has the layer of SiO2 resin but also has a more concentrated crosslinking agent mixed in with the SiO2 mixture along with a different siloxane component on top to slow down oxidation.

Great chemistry information to keep us grounded, keep it going.

I'm just super into the chemistry behind coatings. They're expensive, helps me decide whether or not I want to use a product or not.

I still have those 303 polishes. They are looking for a good home. I have no use for them.
