Person lives in the mid-west. Originally says this was warranty issue (with paint) and now says dealer "made" them get this paint protection package otherwise "paint would peel". Twice a year they go in for this service. I am completely baffled by this and it sounds completely impossible. Secondly, I can't believe this person fell for this crap. Anyway, doubt much can be done after two years but does this sound reasonable to anyone? I read online that it might be $200 an application so no idea how they could inflate it so much. thanks for any insight.

What type of car is it? I know lots of exotic owners ceramic coat there car, not it has nothing to do with stoping the paint from pealing. It just helps the car stay clean

Sounds like a scam to me.

$3k I believe is enough to vinyl wrap a small car.

There are some manufactures that are having paint problems on some vehicles. But have you pay for their problems is no way to go about it.

Would spraying another layer of clearcoat be better?

I was reading that a local new car buyer paid something like $500 to 600 for a Simoniz treatment. Ceramic of some kind, I assume its nearly permanent.

Total waste of money. Even if it's $1.
