I have applied ceramic to at least three cars now. It can be a bit nerve racking but my first car I did was my X5M. It is a several day process regardless of being a pro shop or yourself. Take your time and go slow with paint correction and actual application. Work portions of a panel at a time and be sure to use a good paint prep cleaner right before application. I'm about to do my 4th car soon and not sure I'll ever pay the price for someone else to do it. The product I use is about $125 and takes a solid weekend to do it right. I'm just not convinced the difference is worth the price difference even with my invested time. If you mess up with application you compound it out and reapply.
