[QUOTE="Norton, post: 16474855, member: 145307"] It sounds like his quote is for correction and installation of [URL='https://ceramicpro.com/']Ceramic Pro's[/URL] [URL='https://ceramicpro.com/products/']9H and Pro Top Coat[/URL]. If you haven't researched coatings, you really should - they're not all created equally. (It's been a while since I did and I went with Gtechniq CSU + EXO but, IIRC, Ceramic Pro is also a reputable product.) As with your PPF quote, this one's comparable to what mine cost me. FWIW, I recommend having your wheel barrels, calipers, and door jambs coated too - it makes cleaning/detailing easier.) In my experience, touching-up chips is exactly the same as it was before the coating was applied. The coating is microscopically thin so, if they're hyping its "protection" of the paint, don't buy it regarding rocks/scratches. I suppose you could ask your detailer to apply a little coating over your touch-up paint, but we all know those spots are never as smooth as they started out. The coating's big benefit is contaminants have a lot harder time bonding to the surface, making for much easier cleaning/detailing.
