South Florida Detail and Ceramic

I'm still learning - I just picked up a 2015 F83 non ZCP and want to do everything I can to protect the paint.

I don't think I want PPF, it sounds like Ceramic may be better for me especially given the price point. It sounds like Ceramic cost about $500?

Can someone recommend a reputable person to Ceramic my car?

Please also share your thoughts on exterior paint care.

Any help is appreciated.

I have a Ferrari Red M4 and live next to a construction site that got concrete all over my 4 month old car so I wanted to get my car paint corrected and ceramic coated. It looks like you're seeing the car with a permanent Instagram filter now.

I got mine done by FLL Airport/by BMW of FTL service. The place is http://alwayssunnydetailing.com/. Conor is a great guy.

Yes, Dominics team did 3 coats of C Quartz finest on my M3 right after delivery. Did a paint restore and C Quartz on a 135 o bad as well as my wife's car. Everything always came home looking better than brand new.
