My personal opinion on this professionally applied Ceramic coating is it is basically just another wax. I see very little difference from normal wax. I still wash and dry it the same, bugs still stick and are no easier to remove. Water spots are still an issue and fine scratches appear as they always did. Not blaming the installer, great guy, I just think it is very over hyped and over priced and would not do it again. Does it shine more? I don't think so, any brand new Black car with top quality wax is usually pretty shiny. Better off with just a good quality wax every few months and spend the money you saved on a paint correction (power polish) every season imo.
