I don't know exactly which ceramic product he used on my XPEL stealth ppf but most if not all displayed products in the showroom are Gyeon. i recently refreshed with a top coat of Gyeon Q2M Cure Matte sealant, and water continues to bead and sheet off super slickly. here's a video showing the hydrophobic performance of non-coated stealth ppf:



i can tell you that water beads and sheets off my ceramic-coated ppf a lot better than shown in the video

I think you are correct, I was just going off what my Gyeon PPF installer told me, maybe he meant the ceramic infused PPF, who knows.

Xpel ppf

I just had mine done and paid $2400 for the Xpel Full front, mirrors, rockers and door cups. Also included wrapping the edges which is critical. I did receive a military discount of 10%.

It was $400 for the wheels off ceramic coating and that included the calipers. Very happy with the result.

Ceramic Pro 5 year warranty.
