Nice shot on Richard Russel Hwy. BTW. I've taken many pics there as well..With the ice too!... I've spend MANY days riding / driving those hills!!
I'm near Atlanta Also and looking for another quote for bumper PPF replace (due to a bubble when I purchased the car), Paint correction, and Ceramic. I'll check out this place you mentioned!
Thanks!

Seems kind of high. I just spent 800 for paint correction, Ceramic Pro on body, wheels and calipers and they also nano coated the front seats, doors and dash on my wife's cayenne, that is almost 3 years old and almost was exclusively washed at a brush car wash in the past. They did give me a 100 discount for previous customer though. USA Reflections, Roswell GA.
They also did my GT4 back in January. Not the best pic, but this is during a day of driving in occassional drizzle and wet roads

I guess USA Reflections will be getting a few calls soon.

I have a full vinyl wrap and on top of that xpel on the whole front of car. This morning I put two coats of ceramic film/coating on it. Will be interesting to see how well it holds up. Going to put it in the sun for a little while to cure. I'm curious how hydrophobic it will be and clean up.

I agree with what has been said that this is a subjective question. However, I've had ceramic coatings applied on 3 of my Porsches over the last 6 years (Panamera, Cayenne, and 991.2) using Gtechniq. Each time the paint correction was completed prior to ceramic coating application. In my opinion, it was completely worth it for the following reasons: 1) The glass/mirror look of the paint; 2) The laborious nature washing and drying the car is greatly reduced; 3) All sets of wheels were coated as well and removing the brake dust is easier; 4) Overall protection for the car's paint.
Also, depending on the installer of the coating can make a difference, so do your homework. For my installer, I connected with him as recommended by our local Ferrari dealer.

After paying a guy a lot of money to come to my house and do a Jeep Wrangler I had and watching him....I found it easy to do myself. I bought and used the same products he used. Used the same techniques and read up on various detailing forums on what to do and not do. Its super simple just a little time consuming.
I used this:
I've done my 991.2 GTS, C63 AMG and my Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Grand Cherokee is my daily work and travel vehicle. This coating work, bugs and dirt come off easy and it's also seen a few auto car washes too.
