    Glazes, sealants and waxes are old news. Professional ceramics are currently the best option on the market.

    Disagree and not pragmatic for most.

    Additionally, not sure if you see the “protective coating” item in relation to ceramics.

    Scrubbed some tires, and knocked a dent out.
    Definitely work great, but I don't think I've seen a ceramic that looks as good as the aforementioned.

    Caranuba's give a warm glow that's preferred, but they don't last very long. Gtechnic CSL topped with ExoV5 and P&S beadmaker will give lots of gloss. The Gtechniq will last a couple of years.
