I am a strong believer in these new coatings but no chance would I pay 1-2k to get it done. Detailing is a hobby for me so I simply did Cquartz UK, works great, you have to reapply it every couple of years but you can do it for a few hours of your time and 100 bucks or so and your good to go. I have contemplated opening a detail shop for mid to high end cars and have spoken to many of the coating manufactuers of both pro and non-pro level coatings and they are all pretty similar so for the most part you don't have much risk. There are tons of new coatings being added each year also. There are some chemical level differences between the pro and non-pro products , pro stuff is less forgiving and often requires heat lamps and you get a warranty but most have some significant limits. If you are in any way a DIY person I would encourage you to do it yourself. Of course if your car needs paint correction than that is a DIY that requires some skill and equipment.
