As these new, cheaper spray coatings hit the market, ceramics will most likely lose luster even more as people realize they can get similar results from a $8 bottle of Turtle Wax Ice Seal and Shine from Wal-Mart.

The power of marketing and mass adoption is real.
As long as you get the general public to believe something is the next best thing to sliced bread and you have mass adoption, you will get $$$.
Eventually reviews come in and the long term reality of what a product actually is and is not becomes more clear, and by that point most have made a boat load of money and the fad fades, unless it is legit and really IS the next best thing to sliced bread.
Knowing what I know now, I would have stuck with my Zaino every 6 mths , still doing the front clear bra and called it a day.
I paid $2200 for Ceramic Pro (3 yr. option) (after the fact, being told that I need to come back for a "refresh", separate charge of course, every 6 months for the 3 yr. warranty to be valid) and Expel of the front bumper.
