and to do it right, that takes "X" hours of billable labour = $$$$.
Simply put, those products are there for those that can afford them and want them.... having seen the end results, on the right car or boat it definitely is worth it is you can afford the investment.
Apples to apples.. What is the going rate for a polishing service to clean, buff, polish and conventional wax a 38' boat (ie Cig TG or Fountain) per year?

My experience and that of several friends who have had professional applications on some big offshore fishing boats is that anywhere its in constant contact with the water when running the boat it doesnt last at all. Around the cockpit yes. When we fish we typically are running 160-200 miles round trip. When cleaning the boat you can see on the sides where the water has erroded it away starting towards the bow and getting higher towards the transom. Drives etc, forget it, Anywhere that gets a ghood scrubbing at the end of the day, forget it.
And I know the response will be "poor application, prep, products, etc" and thats another part of the problem. How do you know who to chose? They all talk a good game and have good references. Its as crap shoot with $5k.
Love it on my black cars but the boats get what is easiest to maintain and works well. I am not a skeptic that it works its just not something that works well enough on a boat to justify got me.

watch YouTube reviews where different ceramics are applied to different panels on a car…it’s no mystery that the panels to lose ceramic the fastest are the wheel weels. root cause = it’s getting blasted with water constantly like a boat would. Even the professional stuff has a hard time lasting in harsh environments. Anyone selling you that ceramic will last 5-7 years on the bottom of a boat is

Well I know who will hate this lol but I like this stuff. Boated yesterday and just a rinse. Salt rinsed right off and hit it with the leaf blower then a quick once around with a big microfiber towel. Used about 1/8 of the bottle to do the whole boat from the chine up including drives and interior.
