Ceramic coating after 1 year — honest review

Had my Tesla Model 3 ceramic coated (Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra) about a year ago. Paid $1,400 including paint correction.

Honest thoughts after 12 months and 15,000 miles:

Water beading is still great but not as insane as day 1
Wash maintenance is way easier, bugs and dirt come right off
Did get some swirl marks back despite careful washing
The gloss is still noticeably better than uncoated cars

Is it worth it? For a daily driver parked outside, I'm on the fence. For a garage queen, absolutely.
