Right now I rarely wash the cars. If I win the lottery, a wash bay with de-ionized/RO rinse is on the table. It doesn't need to get it perfect, just close enough and it's easy and fast to do whenever you want. Bonus points as you control the chemicals used.
Advice from my detailer was do not use coin wash or automatic washes/soaps to keep the ceramic coating intact. It's supposed to last 3? years if you maintain it.

I would try something like this. Obviously not as good as a real pressure washer but a five gallon bucket of water and the cordless tool is probably a bunch faster. If you want to be fancy, make RO water in your house and use that.Advice from my detailer was do not use coin wash or automatic washes/soaps to keep the ceramic coating intact.

I tried a foam sprayer with Chemical Brothers Ceramic foam, worked well..but washing it off as a PITA as I do not have access to a water line, as I previously said.
So I decided to go with a waterless AMMONYC products.

Spray on and wipe off. Then a lubricant to protect the drying wipe down.

High profit for them. I wouldn't be surprised if they use the poverty $50 version but charge more than $1000 as with the high price you are expecting what Evo got done with paint correction first.
Do you mean Paint Protection Film? Why would you just ceramic coat the lights/hood
With a new(er) car you could probably get it fully ceramic coated (+ wheels) for $500-800, depending on the shop. Should last at least 3 years.
Yup that's what i mean.Do you mean Paint Protection Film? Why would you just ceramic coat the lights/hood
That's different entirely. That's a sticker. Ceramic is a liquid coating that dries on and makes paint smoother/slipperier. Last time I had the front of a car done (hood and quarter panels) was $400. There are various grades of PPF that can affect price.
Currently my car has PPF on front bumper, lights, 50% of the hood, A pillars, side skirts and rocker panels. One of the previous owners did it.
With the film or ceramic ?
Film.
