Just got my weekend warrior back after 7 days at the detail shop. They did a "paint correction" and ceramic coated it. Turned out better than I expected.

Looks great! Did you consider the ppf film on the front? I have trouble leaving my car with them for a week but will eventually. My front bumber is already getting chips at 11k miles.

I did consider the clear film but it was too expensive for my taste. $850 for the front bumper.

If you don't mind saying - how much was the paint correction and ceramic coating (and what ceramic did they use)?

It looks fantastic, btw.

Paint correction is sanding the clear coat. The clear coat is thin enough from the factory and would not do it to my C7.

nice what product did they use ? You should get an express wash done every 90-180 days where they will use a ceramic spray to keep it shiny and protect the coating or you can do yourself. i leave it to the pros
