what does 9H mean in relation to coating
I'm thinking it's meant to designate hardness. Diamond being a hardness of 10.

It’s the hardness of pencil lead.

It means squat. Meaning don’t buy into the marketing of coating hardness. They can still swirl and scratch. They do help with wash induced marring that may occur.

NOTHING beats the marketing of top coat F11, period! Just this morning I put on Peppa Pig for my three-year-old daughter and an advertisement for that damn company came up

Re: what does 9H mean in relation to coating
IMHO, it's just a silly marketing ploy. I haven't noticed coatings being any less resistant to swirling or light scratches than the original clearcoat that comes with a car from the factory.
2005 Dodge SRT4 400whp/480wtq | 2015 Nissan Frontier (daily driver) Both are corrected and coated with CQuartz UK 3.0 by me
I detail out of my garage as a side job on the weekends and do about 6-8 cars per month.

Re: what does 9H mean in relation to coating
It refers to the hardness of pencil lead with 9B as the softest and 9H being the hardest. A standard number 2 pencil that we all grew up with is actually an HB lead which is close to the middle of the scale. The 9H hardness test measures the hardness of a clear surface coating by its ability to resist scratching with a 9H pencil.
