Beautiful... this paint almost demands PPF and ceramic coating.
Pre-delivery dealer wash left tons of swirls in my paint and grille so I can't wait for paint correction/ceramic/PPF in another week.

My body shop warned me of this, so I told my dealer explicitly to not touch the paint in any manner for any reason.

Cost depends on the materials, panels covered and quality of install.
Here is the quote I got, these guy do cars more expensesive than my house that arive in trailers.

I paid $1805 for the PPF - whole front end including headlights. Full hood. Mirrors. Side Skirts and up to the body line on doors and side portion of rear bumper.
And $1785 for Ceramic. Car, wheels and calipers. That included paint correction from the Dealer taking it through the car wash 3 times before I could pick it up. Check out InsanePaintAutoDetailing on Instagram to see how bad the swirls were. They have it pinned on their stories. |

I was quoted $2,300 for full front Xpel and like $600-900 for ceramic coating. Xpel on front bumper only would run me about $850. Not the cheapest but this shop does top notch work.
Still trying to figure out what I should go with. I'm finding it hard to stomach dropping over $2,500 on PPF and ceramic but I know my OCD will kill me with any scratch or bad chip and ceramic is almost a must considering all the tree sap and other debris that gets on my car in my neighborhood.

I was just quote $2300 for full front end PPF + side skirts and rear bumper behind rear wheels. Then an additional $2500 (or $2200 when paired with PPF) for 3 year ceramic.
I know this is a pretty reputable shop, but these prices seem high, even compared to those mentioned here. And this is not a very big city. For over 4k I could just repaint the whole car when it gets scratched. EDIT: Full quote details after working with the shop and asking for a lower tier ceramic coating package: CQuartz Professional 2 layer ceramic coating system. Interior and glass coating included. (2 year warranty) $850.00 With out doing PPF the price would be $1100 $150 off if no interior. Global Ceramic Window Film (all windows) $650.00 Premium Shield Elite full front end PPF clear bra wrap. Hood, fenders, bumper, headlights, mirrors. $1,800.00 PPF for Side skirt, edges of hood, wear area behind rear wheels $500.00 Last edited by 240idax; 02-04-2022 at 12:46 AM.. |

Protect her. I cursed myself every time I washed the front bumper on my last car (540) because I passed on PPF, the only thing that saved me was it was a lease. I had an appointment to get my work done last week but snow forced a reschedule. I refuse to drive my car until its done

1) what ceramic coating is meant to do when applied in addition to PPF; and 2) what needs to be avoided before ceramic coating and/or PPF (e.g., car washes it sounds like?) I don't want to have issues out the gate! |

Prior to ceramic the car should basically be UNTOUCHED. Some amount of paint correction is built into most shops ceramic costs and even brand new cars need some correction, but significant paint correction will cost more. I.e. Do not let the dealer wash/detail the car. If it needs to be washed, stick to lightly hand washing - no pressure washing or touch car washes |
