I asked in the AI Stupid Questions thread, but I suspect that was the wrong place, so hopefully this is more appropriate. Sorry if I'm wrong again.

Are dealer ceramic coatings on new cars worth it? Should I negotiate out if it and have a detailer do it?

The important part of a ceramic coat is the paint correction (polishing) before applying the coating, which a dealership may or may not actually be good at. If you're keeping the car in a garage, washing regularly, and using some sort of spray wax or protectant as part of the wash process, a ceramic coat doesn't really matter. It's a lot more durable than a wax job or lower effort sealant if you want to ignore your paint more.

I don't have a garage unfortunately. So it'd have to sit out. I can start using a protective coat.

Sorry, got sidetracked over the past few days. Thanks for the advice on ceramic coatings.
