It's more a time thing for me, well and how it looks/performs. I used to do the entire machine polish 1,2,3 followed with a sealant and it would look good for a couple months, but was way too much work.
From memory I paid $600 to have the Hellcat done back in 2017. I wouldn't pay $1500 though, especially now. There are consumer grade products available now that work 80% as well as the pro stuff and cost about $100. I used Gtechniq Cyrstal Serum Light (consumer) on the Camaro and didn't wash it for about a year. It was practically a daily driver. I have a video on that. We did Mrs. Speedy's car with the same CSL back in 2019 and it still looks phenomenal today and we rarely have to wash it either. Just run it through the touchless about once every month or two.
https://amzn.to/3GLd8D7 that's the stuff. I got the 50ml bottle so I'd have extra. We used about 3/4 on Mrs. Speedy's car and it had completely hardened when I opened it up over the weekend to see how much was left. Lots of ceramic in it.
I'm 5 years on the Hellcat on this pro level Crystal Serum ceramic and it is claimed to last 7 years or longer if garage kept. Other than something getting on the horizontal surface it's performed great. I almost never wash it, but I'll be doing the DIY consumer stuff when this wears off, if it ever does.
