My shop told me that since I do not park outside and am not driving the car a lot, the coating could go 5+ years.

You might actually want to do Xpel or something like that instead. I would strongly suggest consulting a local detailer who deals with those products to see what they say.
Awesome! Thanks for the insight!

I wasn’t aware that Xpel provided UV protection - I gotta do more research. Also, I want to protect my entire car so that option might be out of my price range.

My car is a daily driver and parked outside during the day so I’ll keep that in mind when I do my research.
