Premium | 2-stage polish + 2 layers + topcoat | 80,000 – 110,000 | 70,000 – 95,000 |
Which to choose by scenario
City use, covered parking. Either works. Ceramic Pro Light a bit cheaper, difference isn't critical.
Street parking, winter road salt. Gyeon MOHS+ holds longer due to thicker layer and harder finish. 1–1.5 more years before refresh.
Need warranty. Gyeon offers 3 years through certified studios, Ceramic Pro Light — 2 years. For 2–3-year resale plan Gyeon is better (certificate transfers).
Need it fast. Ceramic Pro Light has faster cure (12h vs Gyeon's 24h). If quick pickup matters — Light.
What neither does
Neither Gyeon MOHS+ nor Ceramic Pro Light protects against stone chips — that's flagship territory like CSU or PPF film. Micro-scratches from automatic washes also aren't blocked. Their job is hydrophobicity, chemical resistance, easier maintenance. If you expect "armor" — wrong category.
FAQ
Can I apply 9H over later?
No, different chemistries. Applying 9H/CSU over Gyeon or Ceramic Pro Light requires full removal of the old layer (polish), adding 30,000–50,000 ₽.
Which is better for black cars?
Both work, but Gyeon holds color depth slightly better. On a black car the 2-year-out difference favors Gyeon.
Is the hardness difference real?
At 6H–8H level the difference is subjectively almost imperceptible. Both fail to fully block micro-scratches from washes. Real difference — chemistry and salt resistance.
Maintenance after?
Every 6 months — pH-neutral wash, topcoat refresh as needed (Gyeon Wet Coat / Ceramic Pro Sport). Certified studios include this in warranty maintenance (5,000–10,000 ₽ per year).
