Paint correction, PPF, ceramic coating - wow!
Just got my 2020 zl1 back from the detail shop. Paint correction, front end PPF and Quartz ceramic coating. Here are a few pics.
Extremely happy with the results, an amazing transformation from when I dropped it off.

Thanks guys.
Xtreme Auto Details in Sterling Virginia performed the work. Highly recommended. Paint correction, front end PPF, ceramic coating all cost about $3050. Prices, like everywhere else, are escalated but I've used them in the past so I received some discounts.

Is the ceramic finish hard to maintain? Is it possible to keep this "fresh out of the shop" look?

My 2018 ZL1 is not my daily and is garage kept so that is not hard to maintain. I have some System X Renew Ceramic Spray for the ZL1. I use that along with some good microfiber towels and good to go. My truck, I just rinse and then wipe down with Ceramic Shield. Here is my thread with pic's and a walk around vid https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=584459 My shop that I use also tinted all my windows, side marker lights, tail lights, third brake light and reflectors on the rear valance |

Wow! That looks fantastic! That paint color just ‘pops’! My top three colors in the ZL1 are Garnet Red, Hyper Blue Metallic and Orange Crush. I have not seen Wild Cherry in person yet so I will reserve my opinion on that color, but expect it will also be amazing to see.
You got a good deal on the PPF, paint correction & ceramic coating. You, like me, are unfortunately paying the Northern Virginia ‘price adjustment’.. everything up here seems to cost more. I had my ZLE done at Patriot Auto Detailing in Springfield VA and paid a similar price. Worth every penny IMO though. So easy to clean and maintain that amazing liquid, glossy wet, look to the paint. |

Yeah, I have the ACS mud guards in the front and rear (they're awesome, see pics). However that does not help the area in front of the rear wheels. Might be too late to apply xpel to that area behind the door/in front of the rear tire since ceramic has already been applied? If not, I might just try to apply the xpel myself, would love to learn the technique.

Very nice, is the price $3,050 for what you paid? I thought ceramic coating, paint correction, etc. would usually range from a few hundred to upwards of 1500 depending on what options you choose?

Yeah, northern VA is expensive! I priced it out a year ago, too bad I didn't do it then, I would have saved about $300. I don't see too many ZL1's around town, know of any events/clubs in the area? Would love to get together with some other ZL1 owners and check out their rides. Check out Virginia Camaro Club on facebook.

I've got about 2/3 of it ppf'd. This includes the entire front-end, mirrors, lower quarter of the doors, front-rear quarter panel (just past the door), and the entire rear bumper. I added the rear bumper ppf after my first summer with the car. I beat the heck out of the paint on the rear end wiping off road debris at car shows. I highly recommend getting the rear bumper covered if you have a dark paint color.
