This calculator is a practical tool for anyone debating whether to tackle a DIY ceramic coating or pay a professional detailer. It breaks down the hidden costs of doing it yourself—like prep chemicals and equipment—and calculates the effective hourly wage you'd earn by spending your own weekend on the job. You'll want to make sure you accurately estimate the startup equipment you need to buy, like a polisher or specialty lights, as those upfront costs can quickly swing the math in favor of hiring a pro.
