Easy to apply ceramic coating
I have a 2017 Prius and like to keep the paint in good condition but I don’t have the time to do detailing it my self.
i get it professionally done once a year. After washes I have been using Turtle Wax Ceramic Wet Wax. It is easy to apply and I like the results but it only seems to last about 2 weeks. is there next level up product I can apply after washes that lasts longer?

Re: Easy to apply ceramic coating
I would lay down a coat or 2 of their spray coating. Then maintain with the wet wax you already have. Or step up to the graphene spray coating. AKA FLEX WAX.
Ceramic Car Coating | Spray Wax & Protect | Hybrid Solutions
Graphene Flex Wax | Detailing Spray Wax | Hybrid Solutions Pro (turtlewax.com)
It is not going to get any easier applying either one. I have been using this method for years on my truck.

Meguiar's hybrid paint coating. Stupid easy to apply and real world durability is around 1 year. Maintain with hybrid ceramic detailer.

Re: Easy to apply ceramic coating
If you are looking for an actual ceramic coating that is easy to apply, I would recommend Gyeon's Cancoat Evo. You don't have to wait for it to flash. You just wipe it on in a small section and then immediately wipe it off. It lasts up to 18 months and can be applied outside.
If you are looking for a ceramic-infused spray to use as a drying aid, I would recommend either Xtreme Solutions Topper or Technicians Choice Ceramic Detail Spray. Both products add gloss and feel really slick under the towel. Plus they smell great and can be purchased by the gallon, for a lower "per ounce" cost.
Lately I have been using Technicians Choice Ceramic Detail Spray on my windows. Not only does it clean well, but it leaves hydrophobic protection behind. Water beads off the windshield above 40 mph.

Easy to apply ceramic coating
IME I’ve seen Cancoat lasting 3-5 months. Only way I could see it lasting longer than that is if the vehicle is properly washed every week, and even then I can’t imagine it lasting 6-7 months.
IME Cancoat is great, for about 3 months.
The post above mentions Meguiars Hybrid lasting around a year? Sounds interesting.

-How often do you wash it?
-What do you top it with? [that includes any rinseless/waterless washes with hydrophobic behavior]
-Where do you park it?

It’s in about perfect situation. Climate controlled garage, rinse less as often as I can which is as often as I should. I have ech2o but don’t use it very often (working through a bottle of onr). Maybe used it twice. Same with ceramic detailer (think I’ve used it once as a drying aid).

Re: Easy to apply ceramic coating
I got over a year with Cancoat Evo on my wife's Honda Accord. It is parked outside 24/7. I wash it once every 2 weeks doing a rinseless wash with Absolute or ONR. I use Xtreme Solutions Topper as a drying aid.

How do you know for sure the Cancoat hasn’t gradually faded into being the Xtreme Solutions you’re seeing? Also, does it pass the baggie test?
