Most sealants and coatings are under $100 for a generous application and many can cover a normal sized car twice. So call it $50-$60 per application.

Now add in all supporting cast of polishers, pads, towels, lights and a steamer and then you're starting to flesh out the expensive part.
Great point.

But still....is it worth paying arm and leg for Swissvax or Wolfgang over well-regarded products like Griot's Garage? That's gonna depend on the person...for me it's not worth it.
I don't disagree, I have jars of Lusso Oro and Dodo Wax in my fridge. That's good enough for me. Nice to use in the cooler months over a sealant like Menzerna, but wax has about a ten minute life in our summers, so I tend to ignore it in the summer.
