I am writing to give my own personal opinion on those two products, Ceramic Pro 9H VS Kenzo IGL Coatings.
Upon a detailed search, I found many sites which states that Kenzo IGL Coatings gives a better gloss than the Ceramic Pro 9H, and many reviews and articles said Kenzo IGL Coatings is better, however I COMPLETELY disagree with this, read the full story below to find out why!
There are many reviews online, and the problem now a-days is it's really hard to know which reviews are real and which are fake, because there are businesses that pay for a service called search engine optimization service, which can include enhancing the business reviews by posting fake positive reviews and articles, and then bringing these articles on top of the google search results, which is all a part of the search engine optimization service which is often referred to as "SEO".
And there are many websites that review those two products, when in-fact they haven't even tried the two!
How can you comment or review on something that you haven't even tried?!?!?
Plus, people who do Ceramic Coating for their car, usually stick with what they have on their vehicle because they are promised it's going to be on their vehicle for life!
Therefore they've only tried one type so how can they comment on the other Ceramic Coating type just by assumption when they haven't even tested it!
That's EXACTLY my point.
I however have tried both, and why did I get the chance try both? because later, I noticed there was no hydrophobic effect when water goes on my car paint, which tells me the coating has came off, then I had to bring my car to the ceramic shop to re-apply the coating, but this time I didn't go to the same shop! I went to another! :)
My first Ceramic Coating was Kenzo IGL Coatings which was done at AutoBahn Salon in Concord, Ontario couple of years ago when my car was brand new.
After AutoBahn applied the Kenzo IGL Coatings ceramic coating, I paid, and right after I paid, Frank who is the owner of the shop said that I would have to go back to his shop every year in order to maintain the coating, I asked him what he meant? Because I was confused!
He then said I don't have to go back to reapply it, but it is recommended, especially because I go through a lot of Touch-less Car Washes, the Ceramic Coating might come off over time due to the acids contained in their car wash chemicals used for car washes, I had also checked and confirmed with Petro Canada that the chemicals they use for car wash does NOT contain any acids.
I was shocked, and I wish he told me that before I brought my car to them or at least before I paid, but he mentioned that just a few minutes after I paid which was aprox $2000 Canadian.
And of-course I would rather go through Touch-less car washes at Petro Canada then bringing the car to them every time, for the following reasons:
a. Leaves no scratches.
b. It's more convenient and much closer to me.
c. Faster.
d. Much cheaper.
Plus it's touch-less wash and dry! Unlike hand washing, where they still have to use a cloth to dry it which can cause swirl marks/scratches and yes even if the microfiber cloth was used it can still cause that! It's common sense.
So the second time I decided to bring my car to Ceramic Pro Vaughan, before anything I asked them if the Ceramic Pro coating would come off if I go through touch-less car washes, they said no it doesn't come out so easily like that.
Then I asked, what if the car wash I go to uses chemicals that have acids? They still said the same, and added that the Ceramic Pro 9H coating is very strong, and can only come off if the vehicle was sanded, right away I felt very comfortable with what they said.
I went ahead, brought my vehicle to them, I chose the Gold Package which is the lifetime Ceramic Pro 9H option, I also asked them to do a full interior shampoo detailing.
When the car was ready, I paid the bill, and I was handed a folder that has a few brochures inside which talks about the Ceramic Pro 9H, I was NEVER told what Kenzo IGL Coatings said to me before, in fact Ceramic Pro 9H provided me with the envelope and brochures which talks about their product in detail that I never received from AutoBahn which talks about Kenzo IGL Coatings.
Anthony who works at Ceramic Pro Vaughan is extremely professional and ethical, so is the owner Jeff.
I love the outcome, the quality of Ceramic Pro Vaughan's work is Excellent.
Over all, my final review on which is better, Ceramic Pro 9H Or Kenzo IGL Coatings ? I would definitely go with Ceramic Pro 9H.
If you don't believe me, ask Kenzo IGL Coatings to provide you with a written guarantee that their product won't come off with car wash, chemicals Or acid like how Ceramic Pro Guarantees! Let's see if they will!
I don't think they have such thing.
Actions speaks louder than words.
At the end I felt like I was scammed with the Kenzo IGL Coatings Ceramic Coating that felt like a temporary coating which lasted a very short time meanwhile costed a fortune, Ceramic Pro 9H costed less and the best part is:
a. Forever lasting.
b. They guarantee their product, it's on paper too that I received from them! Where Kenzo IGL Coatings did NOT provide me with any brochures or guarantees.
