You're right about the inability to pass a vehicle inspection, Brian. The trade off you have to weigh is the cost of replacement glass windshields that are DOT approved and will pass inspection but repeatedly break vs the polycarbonate which will not break but also will not pass that initial vehicle inspection we all have to go through to register our cars.

Once registered most states do not require follow on vehicle inspections and therefore would not likely be inspected for a DOT compliant / approved windshield. I suppose there could be exceptions but you should be safe for the most part.

The original question however, still remains. Has anybody used the silicon dioxide treatment known as a ceramic coating on their polycarbonate windshield and what are your experiences / opinions after having used the coating?
