Hi everyone,

I just bought a new-to-me 2016 228i in Melbourne metallic red, and the dealer offered Permaplate (I guess a nano coat and scotch guard on the interior with a 5-year warranty) for $399. It's not a terrible price, but seems I'm really buying a wax and warranty more than a true sealant.

Wanted to see if anyone had any recon in the LA area (Westside, but can travel) for something in that range that would be a better use of money? I'm not totally up to speed but I think I want some ceramic treatment? Car will be parked outside during the day at work, paint is pretty good (minor swirls on the hood) but I'd like to keep it shiny and rich and long as possible.

In a past life I would have done this myself but I'm in corporate housing the next bit and don't have workspace/running water near the car, etc. So I can maintain after this, hopefully.

Thanks!
