I really think at the end of the day it’s further diluting the strength & quality of real ceramic coatings offered by the ones who pioneered the concept.....professional detailers. Do you realize that tunnel car washes are beginning to offer a “ceramic” sealant for a measly $5 add-on and buying it by drum? The operators of these places actually think they’re applying a real ceramic coating to a car while it goes down the conveyor. This will only lead to the notion of no one ever needing an expensive detailer applied ceramic when they can get the similar thing through their local tunnel wash for an extra $5 or even coat their own car 50 times with their big box brand $15 spray “ceramic”. It’s troublesome to continually watch the professional coating market take a hit like this.
Great observation.
You can only imagine how Mobil1 felt a few years back when the courts ruled that it was okay for other companies to call products "synthetic" that weren`t engineered to the same standards. Now, it seems like nearly every quart on the wall is either a "synthetic" or a "synthetic blend" engine oil.

I highly doubt that anything that`s water based is a true ceramic.

I’ll go on further and say that anything that is sprayed out of a bottle isn’t one either.

That`s for sure. CanCoat will harden into a solid very quickly. If you don`t flush the spray heads when you`re done, they are toast. Same goes for buffing/application towels. They will harden quickly if not dunked in water in my experience. I`ve lost a few towels which turned into sandpaper.
