ceramic coating for durability/reliability?

[IdahoCorsair]

A friend recently told me about Next Generation Arms. I'm not so much interested in their AR set-up as I am about the ceramic coating process they claim will eliminate rusting, improve barrel life/performance, make the gun cool faster and more! Do any of you guys have an objective take on this ceramic coating process?

Please don't take this the wrong way, but a good cleaning and lubrication
will accomplish the same thing at a much lower price.

It sounds like another case of a solution looking for a problem.

I don't have a problem with cleaning my AR... and it's danged reliable. It's almost like you said... lets come up with the latest 'different' product to give us a marketing edge. I'm just trying to be educated on what's out there, and in this case, I have a friend who thinks this is the latest shizzle, and I'm trying to tell him it's not necessary... but then again, if it does what they say... maybe it's cool. I just wanted opinions from people who understand what it is and what it does.

Do you have a link or more information on it?
I'd like too learn more also.

It seems Ceramic would be prone to crack or peel from the heat?
Ceramic is stone?
