The prep is def the hardest.... but here is my take.
So your paint isnt perfect. You car had some correction needed.... do you mind how the paint looks now? If you can live with how it looks at its current state, then why not do some basic prep and apply a coating that wont last 6 yrs (Gyeon CanCoat is rated for 12months). The point of the coating is help with routine washing and prevent the paint from getting worse.
Im not going for showroom (technically showroom paint is trash) quality job on my cars i jsut dont want them to get worse.
The tesla was brandnew, and took about 4 hours with a wipe down, primer polish, ipa wipe down, coating.
I was speaking with one local shop & they mentioned once they apply the ceramic coat, the whole car's paint surface is 'baked' to harden and mature the ceramic coat, which isn't possible by if done by me.
So, is the 'baking' process really necessary, what happens if it's not done?
Am planning to purchase the CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0_50ml Kit on Amazon.
Also, seems the CarPro Reload Spray Sealant needs to be applied over to 'seal' in the ceramic coat, any suggestions?

It’s a long term investment and labor of love for sure.I was close to doing this myself but by the time I buy a rotary polisher and a few other items I'm missing the cost savings won't make sense. If my quote was 1300 bucks maybe, but I'm seeing around 800 or so in my area.
If I thought I'd do the paint correction more than once that would probably tip the scales. Heck, if I didn't have so many hobbies already I might still do it for the heck of it.It’s a long term investment and labor of love for sure.
I don’t want to add up what $ I have into my equipment but I don’t keep cars that long but I keep them pristine? so my return on investment makes more sense than paying someone each car.
OK so here's the question for the pros: how do you need to prep the car in order to re-apply a short term (12 month) ceramic coating? Do you have to remove the remainder of the prior coat? If so, that's probably AT LEAST as much work as correction. I'd want to know the answer before embarking on an "every 12 months" regimen.If I thought I'd do the paint correction more than once that would probably tip the scales.
