Default Ceramic Finish for New Car

We just purchased a new car and are looking for recommendations on ceramic coatings or protective paint film. Looking for someone that has got this done in on near TV. TIA

Ceramic coatings are easy to do, easier than most waxes. If you can do this once a year, you will save yourself a ton of money, there is a car advertised on this site that states $2900 for ceramic coating. I did my own car several months ago, as it sits outside, still looks good and is still shedding water nicely. As I recall I used a Mother's product spray on wipe off.
I believe there is at least one individual doing this in the Villages, but I have not used his service so no idea of the cost, etc.

What's the vehicle and how long to you plan to keep it?

Proper preperation of the paint is essential and time consuming ($$$) for a high quality application.

Look for someone who does high end vehicles for quality work.

Call Mike at On The Spot Detail in Wildwood. He does an excellent job and always has several Corvettes in his shop! He has done 3 cars for me.
