Once they're done (wrap of front clip, hood, a-pillars, front of front & rear quarters, rockers, etc.), I'm going to get the car ceramic coated.
The problem? There are dozens if not hundreds of ceramic coaters in Denver, and they all use a different product-- from "off the shelf" to "proprietary blends".
Additionally, they tend to have at least three tiers-- and the pricing seems to be.... flexible?
So, a little help?
I'm thinking ceramic coating on the car (which goes OVER the PPF I believe?), wheels (taken off of the car first), and brake rotors.
How do I pick a ceramic coater? And is there one type/brand that is head and shoulders above the rest?
Thanks-- there's a ton of contradictory information on this!

Kind of surprised your PPF installer doesn't offer ceramic coating services and is also unable to recommend one
In any case, I certainly agree with what has already been said before that the installer is more important than which brand of coating you use
Yes, the ceramic coating goes over the PPF
Most standard coatings can be applied be hand
The wheels and brake calipers (not rotors) should use a high temperature heat resistant variety
These coatings are typically applied with a spray gun
Another thing to possibly look into is Windshield Protection Film
I just had Prestige Maxxion WPF installed
It's a little pricey and probably won't last very long, but seeing as you're in Colorado where rock chips are so common it might be worth considering
