Oh, and I'm planning on putting this over a full wrap of Xpel Ultimate+
None of us really know or have the tools, equipment, and testing capabilities to definitively find out. Every manufacturer will tell you why theirs is the best, but honestly, i think they are all about the same. Kind of like automotive paint. Who's the best? Who knows. I think a lot of it comes down to ease of application and since you are paying someone else to apply, just find a pro you are comfortable with, who has good reviews, and go with whatever he recommends.

Keep in mind, every ceramic coating takes some sort of maintenance. They all degrade and disappear over time so keeping up with an easy to apply ceramic based top coat to "refresh" your professionally applied base coating is key. So maybe go with a product that your installer can professionally apply, but has an ecosystem of DIY friendly refresher coatings that you can apply every 4 to 6 months.

I installed Geyon MOHS 3 years ago and keep up on it with their refresher products like can-coat every 6 months or so. The base coating is still doing its job and shedding water and dirt like a MOFO.

So long story short, dont get hung up on which one is "perfect." They are all pretty good. Just pull the trigger and you'll be glad you did.
