Which Ceramic Coating Should I Choose?

Coating Farm USA's exterior lineup covers a wide range of durability, cost, and skill level. Here's how to think through which one actually fits your situation.

Start With How Long You Want It to Last

If You're New to Ceramic Coatings

Ceramic King 9H is the most forgiving starting point — it uses whole-hood application sections and a longer working window (up to 200 seconds) than the professional-grade options, making it easier to get right on a first attempt. Quartz Pro Graphene follows the same forgiving application style if you want graphene-level hardness without committing to years of durability or a steeper learning curve.

If You Want the Best Value for Meaningful Durability

Aqua Coat Prime 9H is the middle ground — real multi-year durability (5+ years) without the cost or precision demands of the flagship product. It uses the more exacting 1/3-hood, 100-second application process, so it's better suited to installers already comfortable with that technique.

If You Want Maximum Durability

Alpha Prime Graphene 10H is Coating Farm USA's longest-lasting coating and the only one rated at 9+ years. It's professional-grade only, uses the precise 1/3-hood application process, and benefits from advanced paint correction beforehand for the best possible result. This is the coating to reach for when a customer specifically wants the longest-lasting option available and is willing to pay for it.

If You're Coating PPF Instead of Paint

Alpha PPF Coat is purpose-built for Paint Protection Film rather than bare paint, and is the right choice whenever the surface underneath is PPF — the other coatings in this lineup are formulated for paint, not film. Pairs naturally with a FlexGuard installation.
