Glass coating vs ceramic coating - Which is better?
There is no difference. It is the same thing.
When these products were very new, those people who do marketing (like me) tried different ways to market them. There was much talk of nano-technology and glass coating as a way to get the public interested in this very new technology.
However, as time has passed by, the value of the products speak for themselves and people have come to know them as "ceramic coatings".
It is true, that they use technology in regard to nano-particles, and it is somewhat like coating your car in a sheet of glass, and in the past we have used both of these phrases. Both have largely fallen into disuse, except for a small number of companies which have revived them to differentiate themselves in the marketplace.
"Our product is better than ceramic, it's glass coating using nano-technology!"
Don't believe the hype. We have noticed that there are some companies making the claim that their product is somehow different, and better. Most of these seem to be in the Far East, and we would definitely file these claims under 'snake oil' if they are insisting that their product is somehow better, If you read carefully, you will notice they will say they are almost the same, but don't quite get around to saying how they are different, other than, "because of the nanos, and glass coating is better, so obviously more expensive. Obviously."
However, we shouldn't be too hard on them. The products they are providing are probably very good ceramic coatings, and they are likely to just be repeating what a salesman told them. And it's highly likely the salesman got this dodgy information from the marketing team. However, I wouldn't pay extra for glass coating nanotechnology.
