I do all of my ceramic coating in the Winter so the car sits for 90 days before it goes anywhere, but I understand that's unrealistic.
IMO, just wait as long as you can before driving it, and certainly as long as you can before getting it wet.

Who on earth told you to do that? It's absolutely wrong. Paint correction, then PPF, then ceramic coating. No installer worth their salt would put CC on a car before PPF, the film itself would have major issues adhering to the surface.
If you keep spewing actual facts here, they’re going to get pissed off at you. PPF and Ceramic Coating is a waste of money. Didn’t you know that? Haven’t you seen that one of our very members on this thread spent all his school money on it only to be disappointed? Now he had a crappy looking car and he can’t construct a proper and in most cases, a comprehendible sentence.
On a serious note let me back you up because what you said is correct.
1. Foam wash the car.
2. Paint correction
3. Foam wash the car.
4. Apply PPF.
5. Apply ceramic coating.
Anyone who is actually interested in knowing the truth about this can simply use the Internet. There are tons of articles on this explaining the benefits of all these procedures and why it’s good for you to do them to cars that you actually care about the paint staying pristine for as long as possible. Third-party articles that don’t sell products as well as product manufacturing articles and dealer articles. Dozens of hours worth of videos and articles with information that are all pretty consistent with one another. At this point (2023) to say that PPF, and Ceramic Coating does not have benefits and is a rip off is the same as saying that you highly doubt a Boeing 747 will ever be able to get off the ground and fly.
