I'll be the outlier here and suggest that ceramic coating "magically bonding at a molecular level" is marketing b.s. and that it's generally overpriced snake oil.

As mentioned above, most of the improvement in looks and gloss and shine is simply from the preparation that most professionals do before applying the product.

And since it does wear off after washing and drying and using the car, it's by no means permanent.

It is not difficult to apply - you can buy it yourself, clean and polish the car (I refuse to use the term "paint correction" since they don't correct anything and are actually just polishing the clear coat, not the color coat which is what I refer to as "paint") yourself and save thousands.

I did it to the wife's car (brand new) after proper preparation, and it looks good but no better than a good coat of wax.
