If that is the case; then the coating must be tougher than the glass.
That doesn't seem possible!

Sounds like Diamon Fusion or another nanotech product.

It's a product from a company that has requested their name or products not be spoken of on this or any website. All I can say is that it covers the perimeter of the windshield which is the most likely location for stone damage to spread.
Their loss in my opinion but that is the way they (he) wants it.

To my knowledge Nanotec doesn't claim to be a rock repellent.

Just curious.How can a company request that their products not be talked about on a forum?? I thought this was the land of free speech etc.

I bet the only thing it protects is the wallet of the distributor.
