There are dozens of Ceramic coatings (avoid spray!) that claim 1+ years of durability. And there are dozens more entering the market every year.
Frankly, I haven't see any 3rd party tests to validate ANY of those cliaims.
This YouTuber is runnig a Ceramic coastings real-world test on 35 coatings, and is 6-months into the trial:
Longevity claims are highly questionable since they don't take into account your climate (AZ or AK - big difference) and how well you maintain your car (automatic car washes, or wash by hand?).
Personally, I've had 1+ years of durability with the following (in order of application, not peference):
So far, all four are holding up perfectly fine.
Water spotting is an annoyance, unless you run out to blow the water off the surfaces with a leaf blower after the rain.
Glass coatings, on the other hand, are still an ongoing challenge.
I haven't found anything that lasts more than 6 months in real life before chattering kicks in!
