Collinite is great. The SiO2 does keep clean better than anything though.
Which SiO2 do you like to use?

Re: Mother Natures Car Wash and Ceramic Coatings
This is my dilemma. I do the finish coat of 845 twice/yr. In the fall, my garaged vehicles all bead like new still. The only reason I do the fall tx is because I live in CT. Cars either get put away or endure nasty winter CaCl2 etc. How much better can it get? 1x/yr? Ahh, but in tne real world we do get swirls etc so 2x/ yr is ideal to keep things nice looking

Tough question to answer quickly. The expensive ones bead/clean the best in my brief experience (IGL Premiere, PA Cosmic Spritz and PA High Gloss are the ones I can mention here). I’ll also add in PA carnauba arts such as Gold Zircon (contains carnauba) which has similar performance but not quite as good.
But the more affordable ones (BF SiO2, BF Coating Booster, Hydro Blue, 10 Minute Paint Sealant, CMX) are still solid at self/cleaning too. My experience with all of these is still a work in progress and will continue using and observing all summer... but there’s been plenty of rain to make initial observations already.
Sorry this was a wishy-washy answer.
