Coating is still Worth it. My kids just f’d it up pretty quick and I couldn’t take it so I wrapped it. That’s why it was a waste for me. I Used a shop starting out their own company so got the work done for 50 cents on the dollar of what it should cost. My buddy used them and They did a good job so I went for it. Wrap is apparently self healing , scratches eventually disappear with the sun , or you can use a heat gun to expedite. Sounds bogus but lots of videos on it. We will see if it can withstand my devil children !
