Arctic White Looks Great! Is Glass Coating the same as Ceramic Coating or are they different? How much for Glass Coating?

With the Adams kit, I was able to do my c7 and my son's Honda civic SI. Maybe compare it with the kit you bought for ounces.

I had a question when doing paint correction before the ceramic coat; I was planning on using mguiar's 205, is this a good choice? Also do you guys tape off decals like the stringer stripe before doing any paint correction? How about emblems?
Thanks!
