Personally coating is only worth to try if DIY. If let detailing shop to do, I think not worth it. Better stick to regular stuff.

In response your statement, here's an example:
Brand new Merc towkay always park his car at his factory in Batu Cave industrial area. Due to heavily polluted air and loads of steelwork factories nearby, the vehicle's paintwork became almost as rough as 4000g sandpaper. It was coated with a highly popularized Jap coating as recommended by car salesman pocketing a nice commision. Owner loves his car and was pissed to discover that the "coating" gave no "protection" from such roughness and he went back to the "coating" centre in Sunway. That tough layer of roughness could not be removed chemically and he discovered the Jap website that clearly stated "...not to use claybar". Sigh...no chemicals were effective, and claybarring not recommended. Out came the rotary and entire car had to be re-"coated" at the proprietor's expense(!!). Even worse, due to the usual culture of wanting the car fast, he collected recoated vehicle on same day, and it started to RAIN!!...omg...there goes the curing-period, and durability goes out the window.
This E250 owner has since reverted to using non-coating products regularly and claying to address his unique situation where he wants a consistently great slick feel. Thats practical and more realistic.

Sounds similar to another story I was told and just used "regular stuff" but with similar environmental conditions but minus the coating story.
