I did some research and looks like these products on average are under $200 (liquid plus applicator) for a good quality product. Google search shows that AvalonKing Armor Shield IX is the top leader (not sure if anyone here has this one and can vouch for it).
The pro is charging several hundred dollars to do ceramic coating.
My question to the fellow members is, is there a trick or skill required to do this? (according to YouTube videos you run the applicator in a straight line).
Is it worth getting it done from the pro since they know exactly how to apply it or if I do it myself I can mess it up (though I don't see how someone can mess up with applying a liquid wax)?

its literally a joke to apply, a caveman could do it. But you need a full, proper paint correction first, this is why these guys charge over 500$ to do it, you need to take the paint all the way down.
that being said, if you can detail you can apply a ceramic coating with ease
