Some points to consider on ceramic from my own experience:

Prep is key. Apply ceramic over paint defects, they stay there until the coating is gone and the defect is fixed. Also to that note, if not applying yourself, removing scratches from the paint also removes the coating. You either need to reapply, or you lose protection there.

Also worth noting that the water sheeting typically doesn't last the full life of the coating. A top coat of something to make the coating slick again fixes this. I've also seen videos showing that a light polish (not so much that it removes the coating) removes the contaminants that "clog" the coating, which otherwise render the sheeting less effective.

Ceramic is low maintenance, but not no maintenance. Also that claim that it repels dust, I call BS. My car is ALWAYS dusty by the end of a workday.
