2. Is it worth doing the wheels too?
3. Are you happy with doing it.
4. What is a reasonable cost for paint correction with the 5 year ceramic coating?
Thanks
Not sure I could justify ceramic coating in a car that is kept not exposed to elements and only used infrequently. I was contemplating on this some time ago for my F06, but since the annual mileage has gone down way below 5k (miles), didn’t see the point of paying for it. Paint correction is a good idea every now and then, but good maintenance with a couple of layers of Collonite every 3 months seemed the better option. Also, that provides a good opportunity to “inspect” the paint regularly for stone chips etc - note, ceramic coating provides no paint chip protection.

From what you have said, I’d just do paint correction and wax (2 layers)...
