I put ceramic coat on a couple of days after delivery (not worth it doing through the dealer). It was done at our local Tintacar together with the window tinting. $1500 total for ceramic coating, interior protection, ceramic window tints and some sticky plastic protection bits for door edges, door handle cups, boot lids.

If you are good at detailing and are patient you can do it yourself. Your car has to be ultra clean and free of swirls. As far the ceramic coating, it depends how long you want it to last . There ones that last a few months up to 2 years. I have used The LastCoat which is easy to apply lasting up to 6 months and I have use CQuartz UK 3.0 followed by Gliss. Both of the last ones are CarPro products. Both are very good. If you have the time , use the CQuartz with gliss . The shine and smoothness is amazing. Also there are many helpful tutorials and reviews of these and other products on YouTube. Personally I use all CarPro products, I like them best, just use what you like , try a few , it does get pricey. But so is the car , I like to take good care of mine. Good luck

I've never had ceramic coating as such before only dealership "paint protection" I've booked into one of the best places in Perth on Monday and was still half the price of the stealership

Had the ceramic coating done today, couldn't be happier with the end result. The shine and glossiness is phenomenal.

I researched this a ton when I had my M2 and decided I was better off just applying a good wax twice a year.

I live in Adelaide and used OptiCoat on my F30 335 more than six years ago...……...it still looks like its just left the showroom...……….apart from a few small stone chips on the front bumper.
I did the same for my wife's Mini Cooper S which is now 10 years old, and also on our Dogs' Beach Car - the VW Golf Mk7...…….both still look in excellent condition. I wash all three cars with OptiCoat car shampoo...……….so easy to clean with a good paint coating on the body and wheels.

NoSUV4Me,
Each car was around $ 500.00. I'm not sure if it was Pro or Pro Plus. However, the wheels were coated as well as the body, and this makes an enormous difference when cleaning the cars - especially those bloody M-sport wheels! The wheels clean up like new.
