Products like Gyeon can coat

From a coating lite perspective Cquartz Lite and Gyeon One. Different application as these are applied in the more traditional coating application.
 
With the infusion of SiO2 in all sorts of products, the widspread use of the term "coating", and even product application methods blurring the boundaries, I think we're to a point where we simply need to develop an LSP durability spectrum and totally throw the names out the window. I'd put beauty waxes at the short end of the spectrum and coatings like CQuartz UK, Gyeon One, and Gtechnik CSL at the far end in the 3-ish range.

CanCoat is one of the products I'd safely call a coating and if we put it on the spectrum I mention above I'd put it towards the high end of durability. I think the product descriptions all state around 6 months of durability, but right now with plenty of care to keep it clean and routine applications of CURE and CarPro Elixr, I'm safely approaching 12 months. I'll be removing it in a couple weeks, but not because it isn't protecting...or appearing to protect any longer.
 
Does siO2 content percentage directly correlate to product longevity, or is it the bonding agents in the fluid?

Example:

TACsystem Moonlight 25% siO2 is rated up to nine months. While their 60% siO2 entry level “true” coating (in the standard size glass vial) is up to one year.

25% rated 9 months
60% rated 12 months

Definitely not a direct or linear correlation. I think it has a lot to do with solvents/carriers for bonding agents (thank you WillSports3).

But I think one can assume that true coatings which do last a long time have a large SiO2 percentage, and coating lites which last less time buy still a long time have a lot but less than true coatings. Hence the TAC example, similar to Gyeon and I’m sure CarPro too (not sure what CarPro Lite has though).

So long lasting generally have quite a large percentage; but there’s plenty with high percentage that don’t last as long... like Polish Angel which don’t last too long but have great water behavior.

Nice explanation

CQL has 45% of combine product of SiO2 and TiO2
