is it worth it? RV in havasu only, outdoors. I wash and wax almost every 6 months at about $400 a time. Will ceramic last? is it worth the money?
Brand new RV, so gel is good

My new to me boat is coated and I will tell you it’s pretty bad ass. Cleaned it with water and a microfiber. Wish I would have done my rv.

Of course it's worth it. . . years of protection for 1 application

Lol I just waxed mine by myself. The whole time i was thinking I should pay someone

I say that every time and I’m over it. Next up is a DI tank so I can just rinse it off with the pressure washer!

Work smarter, not harder.

What exactly is “ceramic coating”? What’s the material, what’s the process?

Yeah? I'm a little skeptical still. Seems like the "Slick 50" of the wax world...

I'm on the skeptical side also! -- Aluminum boat and is in the water a LOT! ... Month or so at a time!

My BIL painted their coach with Imron. It always looks perfect and I’ll last forever...

It’s the next best thing....it was Teflon coating. It works.
It doesn’t mean you never wash your rig again. I’ve waxed my current rv about 15 times in 11 years. The last 3 years has been twice a year. I didn’t do it enough while it was new.
I’m hoping ceramic will last 3 years or more.
Then just wash 2 or 3 times a year.
It’s not cheap due to labor. The prep is key
