Not sure if you've already made your decision. But i went with Ceramic Pro. Whole car done. Gold package which is 4 coats of 9h and a coat of Light (super hydrophobic coat) and it comes with lifetime warranty.

The 9h is the actual ceramic which with that many layers actually forms a hard layer on top of the factory paint and lasts forever. Will only come off if you use something abrasive (like polish).

The coat of Light, works like Wax. Super hydrophobic and makes the car incredibly shiny and glossy. Lasts about 6 months to 9 months depending if you park outside or in a garage. You go back every year for a new coat of light. Doesnt cost anything. During that time they also inspect the coated parts and touch up whats needed.

Total Cost Paid: 1600$ at Whitaker Bros' Autodetailer in Stockton.


Honest opinion on the stuff. Worth it. Good protection against minor scratches and rock chips. 9H has added UV protection and since i park outside i dont have to worry about the car fading as fast. Since it essentially replaces the clear coat on the car, i dont really have to worry about "clear coat peel". And long term the car will look like it came from the factory.

Protection wise. I'd say a solid 7/10. Doesnt work as well as a clear bra. And defiently doesnt protect against someone keying your car (like all the videos seem to show). However the benefit is that due to its hydrophobic layer it DOES protect against paint and other similar forms of potential vandalism. Also washing the car is a breeze. Dont need to wax the car ever due to the coat. But i like to just in case.

Protects really well against swirls. Since i live in an apartment complex i have to wash my cars by hand and i use a no rinse wash. Generally they work well but theres a higher chance of swirls. Had my car for a year and i wash it about twice a month. zero swirls.

Hope this helps!
