Next step..

Never really took care of my previous rides like I should have , but just picked up a new one and want to keep it looking great for a long time. I've done a ton of forum searching but I'm still confused and haven't found what I'm looking for (noob alert). Hopefully someone can throw up a link if its out there, not trying to repeat a thread and/or waste anyone's time. Thanks in advance.

Ceramic coat, opti coat, xpel, 22PLE, modesta, clear bra, Cquartz, Aquartz?? Which are different brands vs different products all together? Rough estimates on costs? What can be done with interior?

My car is Daytona Gray. DD. Located in New Jersey (winters), will be garage kept, but I frequently drive up and down the coast (NYC, Philly, DMV, VA Beach). Appreciate any help.

Have you corrected the paint yet or what condition is it in now? What are your long term efforts looking like? In other words are you the kind of person that likes washing, waxing, etc. or are you pulling it through tunnel washes, etc.?

Step 1 is to correct the paint to 100% removing the swirls and maximizing the gloss. Once that's done you can coat it with any of the major ceramic systems out there. The key to understanding them is that they are semi permanent and will buff off should you down the road have a need to correct a scratch, swirls or other issues. They work great but aren't for everyone. They will do very well on your color too.

In terms of clear bra's I've used many over the years on nearly all of my vehicle.s they do really well but aren't cheap and again, not for everyone. Happy to answer any questions you may have on them.
