Although I can definitely appreciate the experience of hand waxing my car, a good ceramic coating requires nothing more than applying suds, pressure washing, rinsing, drying (blow dry if possible), and other than minor detailing, you're done. No waxing, polishing, two buckets washes, or any other blah, blah, ever needed. After 4 1/2 years of doing only this my paint still looks like I'm looking through glass without a swirl mark to be found (full disclosure: Ceramic Pro Gold does have an annual maintenance). It might not be worth it for some, but for me the cost was more than worth it.
