I've never used a coating but this is what I do and happy with this. Not a high mileage driver and car kept under cover all week.
Two bucket wash method
Use lambs wool mitten and as light as possible over the paintwork
Dry with microfibre cloth and pad dry rather than wipe.
Clay bar 2 or 3 times a year
Wax 2 or 3 times a year. (Currently use double speed wax , used autoglym had wax previously )
Hose off birds muck as soon as possible.
Never let anyone clean the car including the dealerships!
Depends how ocd you are but that works for me and keeps swirl marks to a minimum.
In fact when I traded in my f10 , dealer remarked on how good the paintwork was.
I think most damage is done when cleaning as opposed to being outside so for me a sealant seems unnecessary.
Appreciate others here will disagree to me though!
