How much should a A Ceramic Pro Treatment cost?

Hi folks.

How much should a Ceramic pro treatment cost? I know there are lots of different packages offered. I am probably looking for a mid range treatment

My paint is in great shape only with some light swirls on it so minimal polish will be needed and the front of the car including hood and qtr panels is covered with clear film.

I just want to ball park it for quotes

$1500-$2000 including wheels for what most are calling lifetime which my installer did 4 coats of 9H plus 1 coat of light. Not sure what a midrange treatment would run.

There are also some installers out there using the same exact product, technically it's probably a better product as it's direct from the source that Ceramic Pro gets their product from and it has therefore not been diluted. The downside is no warranty, the upside is you pay a little less for a better product. I found this little fact out too late. I do love the finished product though even though I maybe paid a little more for Ceramic Pro.

You might also look at a product from FEYNLAB if you don't care about a lifetime warranty. They've got a self healing product that is pretty cool, especially for dark cars.

Thanks for the info. The mid range is one coat of 9H or whatever equivalent product and one coat of light

That doesn't sound like a ceramic coating then.

Your post and last paragraph is a little cryptic.

Are you saying the last paragraph refers to the non-diluted produce...or is the non diluted product.

Can you please just post the names

Do these prices include clay on the car for prep?
