Just got quoted $3500 for full front end and high impact area PPf, full paint correction, full ceramic coat inside and outside. 1 week turn around time. Sound reasonable for east bay CA? car is dravit grey

Sounds very reasonable but, depends on a few things.
Aside from the full front end, what are the specific high impact areas?
What brand of PPF is bring used?
What ceramic coating is being used on the paint?
My detailer offers 1 year, 3 year and 5 year (Modesta) coatings,
all at different price points.

The prep should entail decon, wash, clay, and paint correction.
Ceramic coating should be applied to PPF and bare paint.

Worth every penny.

I believe it was 5 year coating. High impact was mirrors, part of the rear quarter, trunk, headlights. PPf is spec automotive I think is what he said, I cant find it online so I will ask him tomorrow what he said.

Still a good price. Careful with the choice of film.
IMO, the only one I’d choose is XPEL Ultimate.
It’s self healing from minor scratches.

I’ve had other brands on past cars. Nothing comes close.

Should they be holding my car longer than 24 hours?

Most definitely. I’d be wary of any shop that tells you it can all be done in 1 day.
In my case, my car was done in 3 days and that was a fast turnaround.
Prep and correction is a day. Film is a day. Ceramic cost the following day.
