I also purchased my 2023 HTC C8 Corvette from Criswell. When I got it was 10 months old, previously owned and had 6500 miles on it and also had the Calajet Ceramic coating applied.
Never been a big fan of these coatings in the past and probably never would have sprung to have it applied to my C8 but now, I must say, that I'm glad it was applied.
My car is super easy to keep clean and always looks in showroom condition. I must say, I'm impressed and would consider getting a coating like this done on any future cars I may own.
Other then a wash job, I must confess, I have applied my own spray Ceramic spray wax once a year, on the anniversary of my purchase, just to extend the life of the coating.
It goes on and off with ease and I can get the whole car done in about 30 minutes.
Hope this info is helpful.

If it could be done in an hour or less I would imagine worse case it’s like turtle wax ceramic spray and best case something equivalent to Adams ceramic spray coating. But either way very unlikely you would get 10 years form it and more then likely 6 months to a year. Also seems odd that they would say to put wax on top of it since whatever on top is going to be what properties you will get from the products. So if you put a traditional wax on-top of a ceramic costing your car will display the properties of the wax.
lastly traditional wax and real ceramic products are different family of products. Normally for every brand ceramic coatings I’ve seen they recommend using a topper or detail spray to enhance the costing rather then put a lesser product on-top of it.

I did not even let dealer wash my new 2026 C8, let alone ceramic coat it. Go to a well established reputable detail shop with product certified technicians and you stand a far far better chance of getting your money's worth and not damaging your paint! 🤔❤️🏎
