Any ideas?

I do might to add that I was looking at Z-Gloss from Ziebart but for ~ $1599.95 for a truck
coating is nose bleeding. On Amazon, on the other hand, has ceramic DIY bottles as low as $8!

After looking at a lot of reviews I just ordered the AvalongKing Ceramic Coating. Many have it rated as one of the best DIY products. Through today only you can enter EASTER20 in the coupon code to get $20 off your order. Right after I pressed complete order a pop-up offered a special price on an additional bottle, so if you are thinking about getting an additional bottle that bottle is significantly reduced in price. In my case I ordered 4 bottles since I am doing 2 vehicles. If I got an additional bottle that price was $30.

I'm curious how scratch resistant those spray on coatings are. I'm looking for a coating to help protect against brush scrapes. Ceramic coating or a clear wrap seem to be the best alternatives thus far. Anyone have other opinions or options?

I used this new product from Miguiar's and am very pleased at the results!
I just used the Meguiars clay bar 2.0 with their Quik Detail spray on the entire truck, and then used the Hybrid Ceramic Wax. Will update after a week or 2 to see how it stands up. The new clay bar pad is much easier to hold onto and if you drop it, just rinse it off and continue. Seemed to do just as good of a job as the actual clay bar.

I used Mother's CMX at the end of March, so far it's been great.

I don't see how anyone could get a better shine using anything else. Looks great!! I am of the thought a finish can only get so shiny and most of today's higher-end products will deliver that shine. Like Mothers, Turtle wax, Maguires. Chemical Guys, Zaino Its all good

Hell even cheap wax can deliver great results perhaps not lasting as l long. The old favorite, Carnauba wax has a very high melting point of 180-187 °F. (black vehicles be aware) It is harder than concrete and nearly insoluble in water and ethanol. It can be polished to a high gloss as well

Our vehicles are clear coated so that's what is being waxed
