$120 at Home Depot. Sun Joe low PSI electric pressure washer. (Probably not supposed to promote like this - I have zero connection with either, so if this is deleted oh well. Get one though.)

I think with the current price installer is charging, it's not worth to me.

My brand new car will get dust, dinged and bird poop, I will just wash it when I feel like.

Do like us sane folks do:

1) buy some Menzerna Power Lock and apply a layer or two. Super easy on and off, nothing beats it. You'll be good for 3-6 months.

or

2) buy some Collinite 845. Not as easy on/off as Power Lock but will last longer.

FWIW, there are spray ceramic products and ceramic "infused" sealants now that are easier to apply and way more durable. That's coming from somebody who used to be a MPL / 845 user for years.

Adam's and Turtle Wax (surprisingly) both make excellent ones.
