    The ceramic coatings definitely sound interesting; it also sounds like something I can apply on my own. Maybe someday.

    My LSP (last step protection) of choice a few years ago was Wolfgang Spray on Sealant, but it looks like that product was discontinued and replaced by this. I don’t know if that is a true ceramic coating, but something to think about in the future if I end up unhappy with the products I’m using now.

    Protection aside, I think my favorite thing about experimenting with different waxes or sealants is the effect they can have on the paint, lightening or darkening the existing colors. This is in addition to the varying levels of slickness and gloss these products provide. The discontinued Wolfgang sealant I mentioned earlier had a wonderful habit of darkening paint I was applied to and looked pretty awesome (imho).
