I live on a nearly mile long stone driveway. The dust on the back of our vehicles is horrendous.When I had it done, it looked like the paint was freshly waxed, maybe a bit shinier looking than a wax job. I forgot to mention that it prevents your car from getting mineral spots on it too, which is a big plus for me since my car is parked on the street and gets sprayed by my sprinklers every few days.
I tested this coating myself by taking my car key and digging into the paint with the full weight of my body... and didn't even leave a scratch on it. It's well worth the money. I would imagine if you got into a fender bender then recoating the one panel would be fine. You really can't tell there's anything extra on the car, except for the very glossy shine. This product also beads water better than wax.
I don't think dealers apply this product. Everything I've seen coming from a dealership with their paint projection isn't nearly as good as this stuff. Like Dkuhnke said above, you'll need to find a shop that applies it. In my area there's only one last time I checked.
Here's a link to the product website: https://ceramicpro.com/ceramic-coating-for-cars-ceramic-pro/
Oh and about the dings... I only have a minor quarter sized dent in one of my door panels since this the application, and there was no paint damage. The only thing you notice is light warping around it, which is what you would see anyways if there was no paint protection. I haven't gotten around to pushing it out since I'm expecting the Mach E this Spring.
Does a ceramic coating make it so you just have to rinse off with water? Currently only rinsing does not work well. We have to take it to a wash, and really only the spinning brush kind of wash really works.
