Got my appt scheduled. I need some inspiration for the price.... Request pics of your Ceramic Pro Lifetime results. Also went with interior coat aswell any pics of that would also be appreciated.

just be aware the Ceramic Pro "lifetime" warranty is more like a "lifetime subscription"

You're required to go back to your installer every year and pay their yearly renewal fee which is typically ~$150-200 on average depending on location

This. My paint looks awesome but they didn't tell me about this until after I got it installed. Annoyed.

Didn't do interior tho, as felt it was a bit of a waste of money.

Inspiration for the price? Meaning you dont want to spend the money but need encouragement? I would just say read the fine print on the lifetime, because nothing is really lifetime, is it? And if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

And what is interior ceramic coating? Sorry for the dumb question, but I've never done any coating in or out, but my interiors are flawless after many many years. What do people do in their cars?

Im totally fine with 200/year full detail once a year and fresh topcoat. Thats kinda the good part for only 200.

A waste? They threw mine in for free. Lasts 2 years.

200/year is not a lot of money for this. A good detail costs more than that.

They threw in the interior coating for free? I mean, good for you? But i wasn't going to pay for it as I didn't need it for my interior and it wasn't free for me, therefore, it is a waste.

How much is the initial cost? I paid quite a bit for my coating but I have no regrets with it, a year later my car looks as new as ever after a good wash.

Wow that is significant. Not sure if I would go through with it to be honest lol.

For reference I was quoted around 1900 for mine, which is 5 years.

That 5 years is half the coats and not the same plan as lifetime. 1900 for 5 year is very high. Was 1500 here for that package.

Where you getting yours done? Don't have any on island I would trust at the moment. But that does sound like a pretty decent deal for what you get.

I didn't do ceramic pro, I did nanolex si3d hd, and also went with the best installer in my area.

Auto Perfection. They are licensed for the product and are constantly doing jobs on all the exotics here. SMG been taking many of their cars over there aswell.

Ah I was wondering, I thought that was a full wrap cause I'm pretty sure I saw it on Xerowraps instagram a while back but I didn't read the post.

No wraps for me. Twighlight purple over silver base. 1x silver, 3x twighlight, 3x clear, and the rest the process I mentioned. Yes xero did the ppf.
