Unlike waxes and polishes that sit on paint, ceramic coating is a polymer that bonds with the paint at the chemical level. It is very important that any contaminants are removed from the paint before application. Once applied it will last for a years and you wax over it. They repel dirt and water like nothing else, which makes them easier to clean. To have it professionally done starts about $500 dollars. As with everything, the prep is the big deal. Also, ceramic coating is not to be confused with ceramic wax. Here is a pretty good video explaining them and the application process. It's not difficult and because our cars are usually in great shape, the prep is easier.
