I was debating, but I think I've decided not to coat the car. I'm a hobby detailer and love polishing and sealing my cars every season. It's decompression time for me. I've managed to keep my previous cars in darn good shape for years with regular detailing and a solid three bucket wash routine. Ceramic coating is really nice, but it doesn't make the car swirl proof. I can imagine some dealership accidently running the car through their wash, or even me using the wrong towel on it one day and damaging the surface. With a coated car, you have the remove the product and redo the whole process. I'd much rather take out my polisher for a few hours and correct my mistake for a fraction of the cost.
