Its all well worth it. Had full paint correction done at delivery of my new RS5 RS7 and R8, then my used 911. It is amazing what is there from the factory that my guy showed me. The results are perfect paint and the coatings really work. That is an understatement. On year 3 on my 5 (and it sits outside in FL sun all day) and my R8 and both still are nearly swirl free. I used to live by Zanio as someone posted on my previous Audis but now I just coat em and let it go. A simple two bucket wash every couple of weeks and the cars look perfect.

The price if the XPEL was part of that 2K he got a great deal. For correction and coating it has been between $800 to $1200 with size/scope. My Xpel alone was 2K on my 911.

Again, hope this helps some of our forum people!
Thanks!

i feel so upset now...

i did the Suntek film without the paint correction, and they didn't even fix the chip before
applying the film....

the car shown in this thread with the paint correction looks so amazing!!! PERFECT condition!!!

i love this forum, learn something new everyday here...
