I had mine done in a different order.
1. Paint correction.
2. CeramicPro on the entire surface
3. xPel on the entire hood, front fenders, rocker panels and just in front of the rear wheel opening.
The coating will protect the paint from a lifetime of adhesive exposure from the film.

Not even sure how you got the expel to go over ceramic and stick ...Hmmm--- very odd!

My installer was a product developer for xPel. His point was that the ceramic was for protecting the paint from chemicals & UV and to resist abrasion. The film’s purpose is to protect from chipping. The film’s adhesive can permanently permeate the paint surface if not protected by the ceramic. My film has remained perfectly attached for close to five years and a number of 3 digit runs.

UPDATE (EDIT)****
****just text my EXPEL guy , were buddies. Here is his response -
"No, the Xpel will not stick to it. Just had an issue with a customer who did the same thing on an Audi. He didn't tell me he ceramic coated it and the film came off while he was driving it lol."

of the paint and make it more vulnarable... So I decided to wait for five years since he standard includes touching-up chips so, I'd have a full paint restore then for one amount..
But since I only had a minor chip, and not significant more swirlls.. ..and the carwash is briljant..

Haha ....Thanks man!
Yeah it came out fantastic!
My guy who does the paint correction said this was the nicest paint job with the littlest to no orange peel he has ever seen on factory paint.
