FYI I was just looking at car cleaning stuff and found this. It’s like a temporary(1-2 month from what I can tell on reviews) ceramic coating. Im going to try it out.
Chemical Guys WAC22916 HydroSlick HyperWax - SiO2 Ceramic Coating + High Gloss Car Wax (16 oz.) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V25MZHV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ETA1FATMHPCAQ6R92H6K?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Chemical guys hydro slick...
This product is junk! I did everything as directed and I can't seem to get it to stop smearing or streaking. I washed first, clayed, then used orange griotts pad with compound and then red griotts pad with polish. Then wiped clean and applied hydro slick and let dry for 1-2 mins. The hydro slick is a gel style ceramic wax and what's happening is the gel is turning into light rubber balls that streak. I can't get it to wipe off and is leaving the car (tesla model s) looking terrible. It looks like there's hair gel caked on everywhere!
Pictures of the wax after dried: https://imgur.com/a/JPFuaq5
What did I do wrong - and has anyone had similar issues with this product?
Here's the garbage product I'm using. I'll post pictures soon:

Yeah Ceramic is temp and not protection. More for cleaning, helps keep your car clean and makes it easier to clean.
PPF is nice but cost a lot. Could just get your bumper replaced for how much they charge to just PPF it. If you have the money though then it’s great! I am cheap. Link some of the items I like below :

Umm it’s not hard. It doesn’t last forever so you will have to re apply it. If it’s a new car you don’t have to worry about a lot of prep work. It’s all about getting a good clean surface to work with.
Probably take you like 1-2 hrs.
I am used to cleaning my car ( it’s black) so yeah.
I just used these:

Oh I have 3 kids. It’s their car seats. Nothing to do with the car’s seats. Sorry for any confusion.
I recommend watching some videos on YouTube for proper car wash techniques in common mistakes. I learned a lot I wish I knew when I first got my car.
I just used these the other day. Was nice. Will see how it last long term.
