Thanks for the mini-review...
IMO, not worth it as the current paint is pretty durable.. Just wash every week or so and apply wax/polish occasionally. Park wisely too and don't let certain stains to sit on the paint for long. As for swirl marks, have a decent car wash place. I've patronized the same joint for years and pals with the elderly owner, so when the car comes around, extra care and the good stuff is used. How do I know this? Civic 08, only had to be repainted once (all round) for around 2K, paint today still looks like new when clean..No rust.. After a wash? glistens.. I've also got a good car guy who knows how to mix the right blend of metallic paint to match mine for those minor touch-ups.
However, it is not a bad idea to coat the car, for added peace of mind i guess... But here's the question I always ask the coating fellas (don't matter if ceramic or bla bla)..
1. After coating, how much taking care should I still do? Ans: They reply same as above.
2. After coating, am I 100% protected against stone/rock chips, swirl marks, rust, keying and scratches? They reply nope, not 100%..
See, Some scratches can be buffed right out if they don't penetrate all the way through the clear coat. So if I'm going to keep doing all the above (care, etc) that I currently do? Why would i fork out at least 4K for a good coat all around the car. When I can keep that cash and repaint the whole car in say 5 years. Also, if you get into an accident and parts replaced, you'd have to re-coat again..

Oh yeah, between proper wax and Rain-X application on all windows, I get the exact or nearly identical hydrophobic effect all over the car as most coatings do too..
Now paint protection films or wraps are a different story. I'm completely not into wraps.. but still on the fence towards PPF. I'm definitely going to put on security tint on all windows, cuz while I may be able to react coolly in an incident, the missus will probably freeze up and so some smash protection is required.. My 2 cents.
Wow, 1st time I've heard that someone isn't interested in using the superior GPS navigation built into the phone... Good on you.
Going to check this out next..

You're right. Still have to di the basic cleaning athough did the coating.
