Ceramic coating applied - white M6 GC

Took three days at a professional very high end local detail shop, cost $2,000.

Complete 'paint correction' plus ceramic coating after that. Pictures don't do justice, in person it looks even better.

I think maybe you are confusing ceramic coating with clear vinyl wrap? The ceramic coating is applied to the existing paintwork. A clear wrap is likely much more expensive.

The first owner of my car paid around £4000 for the clear wrap but it's very well done and hard to see where it's been applied.

My car had paint protection film put on by Topaz Detailing in North London.
( https://topazdetailing.com/ ) They have Jenson Button and Bruno Senna among their clients. I imagine they are not the cheapest

No doubt there are some very competent wrap specialists in the Mids area. Would be interesting to know if there's a significant price difference. Have you checked any out?
