From cheapest to the most expensive (and arguably the best).

Nanolex is a retail cleaning/polishing range and should last a month or two.
Ceramic Pro 9H is applied by authorised detailers and guaranteed for up to 5 years or lifetime depending on the package. It's similar to Opticoat Pro, CQuartz, GTechniq, etc
Xpel is a self healing film so will give better protection against stone chips and scratches.

There are short-term coatings that last up to 3yrs (C.Quartz UK, C.Quartz Finest, Optimum Gloss, 22PLE)and then there are long term coatings that last 5+ years (Opti Coat Pro, Modesta, Gtechniq Crystal Serum, Ceramic Pro 9H).

At the end of the day you pay your money and make your choice but always look for a professional detailer who is experienced and knows what he's doing, don't choose one on price.
These products aren't comparable. I have nanolex and xpel on my car. The nanolex doesn't only last a month or two. DetailersDomain can chime in there.


reppucci Congrats! Happy to see another M2 in the Tristate area.
