Did you end up going for the ceramic coating?
Enjoy every minute you get to drive her around!
Not yet. I will likely have it done in a few weeks. I'm like a little kid with a new toy. I keep making excuses to run errands just so I can drive it. Usually I avoid doing any errands....

Wait - you've had the SAME plate since '82 - or same #? The plate hasn't degraded? Amazing. And cool story.

I did ceramic on my old S4 at 90k miles (took off the 1/2 ppf which needed to come off). For the $$ I spent...I wasn't impressed....IMHO. I will look at Graphene.

Love the Merino seats - and they look smooth/tight....
Congrats on a sharp looking car. Am anxiously awaiting the MY22 order book to open...if I had only held AMC another week, I'd be in the 50 instead of the 40

Plate was in rough shape, I found a guy who refinishes them to State specs....

I know the feeling. I either hold too long or not long enough.
