Once you decide on Ceramic Coat... theres no easy/cheap way to turn back.

You will be a slave to re coating in the coming years. Thats what changed my mind. I wanted ceramic coat in the baddest way. The maintenance and the outrageous costs eventually turned me off.

I would recommend a quality sealant applied once every other month. My cars paint is like butter and very easy to clean since starting to use:
