I have read through a lot of posts looking for this answer, but the more I read the more confused I got.

Which clear is the most scratch resistant once cured?

I'm painting a piano and need a hard finish clear that is scratch resistant. The top of a piano gets a lot of "stuff" slid around on it, or placed on it and dragged or pushed to another place etc.
This will scratch a soft clear.
Let's say you just buffed the hood of your car. Then throw a heavy dictionary on it and slide it around your hood. Now take the dictionary off your hood and look at what it did to it... Now you get the idea ...

Which clear is the most scratch resistant? AND importantly, how should it be mixed and sprayed?

But it's already been done for you!

As far as I know, Euro reaches the maximum scratch resistance sooner, but after a year, I don't think any of the clears are appreciably different. Some OEMs have used self-healing technology in their clears, in which tiny spheres full of resin are broken when the clear is scratched, resulting in the scratch being wetted out by the resin. I would assume you could color sand such clear with 3000, go home, and in the morning it will have "buffed" itself, haha.
 
i'd use the euro especially on a piano it will be dusted and the euro is very scratch resistant in a short time in my experience
