If it shares a molecular structure or chain they could use the term.

I'm betting it does, but it isn't purely ceramic like a clay being fired in a kiln.

You'll probably never know, I bet the formulas are a "Trade Secret"

Virtual cornucopia of coating choices, some easy to apply, some require more attention.

Definitely worth it unless you enjoy cleaning your car as 'therapy'; once coated, maintenance goes down considerably.
So out of those what is your personal pick?

How long does the product last in the syringe, any idea? It appears there is a sale on their website.

I used the kamikaze. I did a Jaguar sedan, an Audi Q7 and a Toyota Highlander and still had a fair amount of product remaining. However after sometime (not sure how long, maybe a couple months) it crystalized in the bottle even though it was sealed. I contacted Adams about their product and asked how long it lasted in the bottle and was told by the person replying that he has product that has been in he bottle 6 months after use.
