Well, today... and mine was like that until the first time I tried to wash it.
I washed it a few times over the course of two years. Mainly hand wash and foam gun.
I went maybe 3-4 times to a touch-less wash (as directed by the ceramic coating shop) and as of now, the coating is mostly gone.
Paint still looks good, but the slickness is not there anymore.
