Ceramic coating AKA Rich mans polish....Nothing but garbage I had applied Opti-Coat\Modesta all expensive polishes and paid $$$$ the scam starts with paint correction where the good detailer would throw a BS number of hours like 25-40 hours and then the Ceramic coating price which runs like $500 - $1500 so roughly you are looking for GLS around $3-4000 depending on the detailer it could be less as well. And after spending a fortune what you get a good looking shiny car, the shine and water phobic properties stay for 5-6 months or it could last for until 3-4 washes. Again it all depends on your washing habits where you take the car and how you wash it. Even 1 bad wash with dirty towels can screw up your coating. This coating won't protect from Swirls and this is the only thing which F up your paint. So I better suggest throw this coating idea out of your head and find a Clear Bra installer you can use Xpel Ultimate Plus it might be slightly expensive but trust me that's the way to go I only install Xpel on my car I don't worry anymore about dirty wash\stone chip or paint scratches. Google Xpel and it will be reasonable enough for you to convince yourself that is the route. Get a custom cut installed vs pre-cut. Just find a cheap Xpel installer and call it a day.

Thanks
