    I've seen tunnel car washes now advertise ceramic "coat"

    It's starting to cheapen the idea.
    I think it all depends on the product and whether adding a ceramic or graphene ingredient it actually improves it. It does seem to be popping up all over the place, but I don't think I'm quite ready to say it "cheapens" a product because it might actually improve performance.

    When I first started seeing "ceramic" or "SiO2" showing up as being added to sealants I was a little incredulous since I was deep into using high-solids coatings, and still am. However, I was given a bottle of Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant to try out. When testing that product I noticed the water behavior was very like, if not identical, to coatings I was using for most of it's life. I also noticed that sealant lasted at least a month or two longer than any other sealant I tried out. In this instance the ceramic addition to the product seems to actually provided some benefit you might not be able to get without it.

    You almost have to evaluate each product on it's own. In some, the ceramic addition will actually improve durability, chemical resistance, and water repellency. Others it may not do anything because there isn't any actual ceramic ingredient added, or it's such a tiny amount it does nothing.

    Graphene, from what I've seen and heard, really doesn't add any benefit at all. I've got a bottle of Adams graphene quick detailer and it's pretty underwhelming...nothing magical going on.

    Coating? Ugh...don't get me started on how that's morphed from the high-solids products in the small bottles which actually do something to simply being a catchphrase you see on every product under the sun. Marketing is really out of hand on this one.

    In any case, I don't think Gyeon intended Can Coat to be seen a full-scale coating, and I don't think anyone here sees it that way either. But it does perform like one and does outperform any polymer or spray sealant.
    Its a coating lite in my eyes, and yes far better than sealants

    And the fact it will harden an applicator unlike any sealant, which is a dead give away (not to mention the solids will clog a spray head). There are tons of solids in it, just not quite as durable as the long term products.

    I asked the same thing a while back when it was released. It does seem silly at first, but this is described as more than just a polish; it leaves a layer of ceramic protection behind. Not a bad idea I guess, and a ceramic protective layer is probably more heat resistant and durable than something polymer based.

    Yeah, it's all a bit silly. I'm just waiting on my graphene vitamin supplements.
