As anyone had their UX 250 paint work treated with ceramic protective coating?

I had my NX done for a discounted price as part of my deal.

I’m not usually one for coatings, but I am very impressed with the Gen-3 coating I had applied. There was an additional leaflet states the product comes with a lifetime warranty. It included the interior protection too and kits for both exterior and interior maintenance. 

The car definitely stays cleaner for longer and when it rains the water just beads up and rolls off. After washing it is much easier to dry off too. 

I would definitely have it again.

Had mine done coming up to a year ago. Used a proper detailer to make sure the "self healing paint" was OK, had it for 3 days in his unit, lovely job, supposed to be good for 10 years. Still looks fine but to be honest I don't think it's particularly worth it, I can see you would have to top it up to keep it perfect over time.

Well I had mine ceramic coated with Modesta products which claim a similar potential lifespan.  The topping up consists of simply  spraying on either of two products after - ideally - a foam shampoo  wash.

Hardly too onerous a task I would suggest,  and it’ll look even better value as the years go by.
