Hull........... Would you use it on the hull, the deck, or both?............
I won't let it near my cars much less my boats. When I was a young man and working as an insurance adjuster, silicone coatings had just come out. Painters had a nightmare removing the coatings for painting and many cars had paint failures. Not saying this is similar, but I will stick with carnauba.I wonder if it would cause any issues if repainting?
It’s nothing like silicone. It’s been used on cars for over a decade. It doesn’t cause problems for repainting.I won't let it near my cars much less my boats.

I trust you, Judy B. I really, really trust you. And, at my age, a decade is just a blink. Notwithstanding all that, I'll stick with carnauba.It’s nothing like silicone. It’s been used on cars for over a decade. It doesn’t cause problems for repainting.
I used ceramic coating on my 29 year old trimaran, after careful wet sanding and professional buffing. It looked gorgeous for two years of year round exposure to the California sun, without any special care other than an occasional rinse.
The horizontal surfaces did need to be Re coated after three years, but they still look pretty good, albeit with a little haze. I didn’t use it on the nonskid areas. After 4 years, It’s still very easy to keep it clean and it’s not chalky.
On the non skid I use west marine’s no skid cleaner followed by a coat of Woody Wax.
