Don't get any of these at the stealership. It's pure profit for them. Go to a reputable detailer and have a quality paint coating like Optiguard, CQuartz Finest, or 22PLE applied. Always hand wash using a wool or microfiber mitt +/- a foam gun, and dry with microfiber towels or blower.

I recommend a high quality leather conditioner to the interior every 3-4 months. That will protect it best. I like Wolfgang's.

Paint films are personal choice. In FL, I have never had paint chipping issues, but where you live, I can't even imagine what you deal with.

Good window tint for your car should be under $200. I paid $130.

Ceramic tint for $130? I talked to numerous shops in Orlando and $350 was the cheapest I found.

Dr Chill

Never said ceramic tint. Ceramic is marginally better than non ceramic tint. Not worth the $. Ceramic tint around me costs $200.

I was surprised that I couldn't find it cheaper but that did include the windshield. As for the difference, everyone suggested the ceramic and personally I wanted every little bit of extra heat resistance as possible.

Dr Chill

Yeah, adding the windshield adds about another $100.
