I have never ceramic coated my vehicle, so having just purchased a brand new 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition (USA-367), I figured the time has come. I spent a week or two researching web forums and YouTube before starting the project. After about 16 hours across 5 day, I think the results are absolutely amazing (final results 0:41). FWIW, my car does have Xpel PPF on the front bumper, grill, headlights and mirror caps, which I ceramic coated over.
