The main and really only benefit of ceramic coating is to eliminate the need for waxing your car - it is essentially a semi-permanent wax. It does not provide any protection against scratches or paint wear.

The only effective treatment at reducing scratches or rock chips is a PPF.
True! But then again... wax/sealant/ceramic coating all offer some small level or protection as well. So while it's not nearly as strong a PPF it does still offer something.
Car is in the shop getting the front end PPF'd. They're going to:

-wash and decontaminate the paint of the entire car
-fill in rock chips
-paint correction
-polish
-XPEL PPF film on the entire front and mirrors
-XPEL ceramic coating to finish

Will take a couple of days. Can't wait. Cost a pretty penny but most of my cars are forever cars.
