Your ride paint looks healthy and super reflective. For how long the ceramic coating should hold? A detailing like that its one of the most important investment to maintain your ride as if it was taken out of the dealer. I recently took my ride for a detailing job that included decontamination, paint correction, and a applied a CQuarts ceramic coating to protect it at least for a year. A video of your ride under a shiny and clear day would definitely help pop the color.

Its stated to provide adequate protection for a years time. My car spends most of its nights outside, and all of the days under the sun so I thought it could use a treat. It should also make washing it considerably faster and easier.

 the chrome goes well with your wheels. i would swap the inner slats for gloss black and leave the chrome rings to go with the darker components like the carbon fiber lip.

I'm not usually a big chrome fan, but on the white with the window trim, and the wheels it all ties together well. I have considered some M5 style dual slat grills with chrome outer rings as a happy medium. I'm just hesitant to buy any of the eBay ones not knowing how they'll fit.
A few more quick snaps though morning when I pulled her out of the shop and out into the sun.    It's like white chrome. |

Looks good!
Make sure to get the reload spray and the car pro reset soap with ironx to use every 4th wash (what i do) to maintain the performance of the coating. Its amazing how glossy and slick your white paint looks now.... never thought white could pop so much... |
