If you had the ceramic coating done, I'd like to know the following
-When it was applied?
-How well has it held up?
-How often do you have to wash your car?
-How much did you pay

I had mine applied in April of last year. I don't have any sense that is "isn't holding up" but my car is parked in a garage the vast majority of the time and not driven in the winter; the shop said that in my case, I could probably get 4-5 years out of it. It was part of a bigger package with Xpel Ultimate so I can't give an exact price, but based on the research I did, the shop's price was competitive with other local certified installers.

It has really made upkeep easier and pretty much always looks waxed. I rarely wash the car and just use quick detailer and a duster most of the time. It's also been a real blessing on the calipers and wheels since I take the car to the track and they get FILTHY.

I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
