There are different levels of Ceramic Pro. The least expensive is the CP Light which won't last long on it's own nor will it provide the best protection. Ask if it's Ceramic Pro Lite in combination with one or more coats of CP 9H which is the good stuff. At $125 I highly doubt you get the 9H coat(s).

I don't think you can buy the CP 9H or Opti-Coat Pro/Plus retail as a DIY. It's only available to authorized pro installers. Only the basic version can be purchased as a DIY and even then, the best results will be achieved by an experience detailer. Don't skimp -if you're going to do it, do it right.

He he. I know. It sounded cheap for ceramic pro 9H. That was why I had my doubts too. I'll ask him anyways.

I didn't know you couldn't buy CP for DIYs. But yes. They are nice. If seen a CP'd car after one year and it looked better than a brand new car.
