The OPC in London offers me a Gtechniq 'Total Surface Protection Platinum' (including paint, glass, interior and wheel) for £799 (based on in-house valet team).
Alternatively, they can arrange a detailer to do paint correction and detailing for £1499.
Has anyone used this before?

Personally, of the two options, I’d opt for the work to be done properly by a qualified & accredited professional detailer, rather than the in-house OPC car cleaners.
I’ll bet the £1,499 includes a backhander to the OPC, so I’d find a detailer yourself and cut out the middleman & his commission.

Anyone had any issues with scratches or insect marks on ceramic coating?
I had my new Arctic Grey Boxster coated by a very reputable detailer.
After a blast up to and on the Isle of Man I had a lot of hardened insect debris to clean off. It was the first time to wash the car from new and being coated.
I had to work the wash mit and microfibre towel to remove the insects, but it has left fine patches where the insects were. Also the bonnet has a couple of very light scratches where it looks like maybe a gull has landed.
On my Macan which has just been waxed frequently with DoDo Juice Carnuba wax, I would just polish them out, but obviously can't do this on ceramic coating.
I would have expected ceramic coating to be a rock hard surface very resistant to scratches and insect marks...am I wrong?
How do you polish out any scratches on a ceramic coating.
The detailer is coming out next week to have a look, but at this moment I am quite unimpressed with ceramic coating and wish I had just put on layers of Carnuba wax.
