There are definitely products that last more than 1 year but recommendations will depend on what time/durability/life range you are seeking.

As Tbone stated, prep is key so ensure good bonding. Poor prep + excellent ceramic product will still lead to subpar results. Similarly, periodic maintenance of the coating, as well as add a sacrificial 'top coat', can extend the life of a base ceramic coating.
I am looking for the longest lasting. I mentioned 12+ months because the sense I got from reading reviews on Amazon for multiple products is that they last much less time than even a year despite of the extremely long lasting claims...

Thanks and I understand reg the surface prep. Once the weather warms up I am planning to get my orbital polisher out to remove swirls and scratches. Since I will be dedicating the entire weekend to this surface prep activity it would be good to preserve the finish with a long lasting coating.
