My understanding is it can cost as much as $1500 on a vehicle. I only paid $460 for my Lightning with providing the materials, but apparently that is extremely cheap for a ceramic coating. I’ve been told it can last as long as 3-5 years. I think there’s a maintenance coat to be applied like twice a year. And as far as I know just normal automotive soap is fine for regular washes. I’m very pleased with mine so far.
