Did you get the 4-y or 10-y treatment?First of all thanks for the compliment of keeping the bike looking decent. Not as good as many others but years later my bikes still look decent.
Xpel ceramic coating is liquid applied to nearly any portion of a vehicle a person wants done. There are different liquids depending on the surface. On my bike I had everything done except the glass I put over the TFT screen, the rubber tires and the BMW windshield as BMW uses a special coating and they recommended we not do that. So all painted surfaces, all black surfaces, any plastic surfaces, the seat were all ceramic coated.
I got the 10 year warranty treatment. The 10 year warranty requires a person to bring the bike in annually for a check up to see if any areas needed an extra application after they do detailed clean of the bike. It is literally a drive in and wait for this clean and checkup. This also applies to cars and boats they do.
Cost of the ceramic coating was $300.
This place did a little Xpel film on my 2016 RS so I knew about them. After seeing them ceramic coat a Bentley, Jacquar and Porsche I figure they knew what they were doing.
I picked up the bike today and rode it for first time bringing it home.

Thank you for the link. I followed it to the local shop that did some basic window tinting on my new car a couple of years ago, so I sent them an online inquiry/request for quote on ceramic coating the new RS. We'll see what they say, but the sound of it is very impressive. As Ray points out, time is money, and if I can speed up the clean-up, it's worth a look!
