The invention discloses a high-hardness, transparent, easily cleaned and hydrophobic coating for wood, metal and plastic surfaces. The high-hardness, transparent, easily cleaned and hydrophobic coating for the wood, metal and plastic surfaces comprises the following raw material components calculated in percentage by mass: 5 to 15% of potassium silicate, 10 to 30% of lithium silicate, 0.5 to 5% ofa silane coupling agent, 1 to 5% of fluorosilicate, 1 to 5% of borate, 0.1 to 2% of a wetting agent, 0.5 to 2% of a buffering agent, 1 to 5% of a coalescing agent and the balance of water. The preparation process of the high-hardness, transparent, easily cleaned and hydrophobic coating for the wood, metal and plastic surfaces comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing the components at roomtemperature, stirring for 1 to 3 h at the temperature between 25 to 60 DEG C, filtering and packing. The high-hardness, transparent, easily cleaned and hydrophobic coating for the wood, metal and plastic surfaces disclosed by the invention has excellent protection ability to a substrate, and makes the surface of the substrate hydrophobic, thereby being capable of improving the wear resistance, high-temperature resistance and easy cleaning ability of the substrate.
