If I move to ceramic, I don't really need a 7 or whatever year coating - I don't mind doing something annually if it actually lasts at least that full year until I do it again. I can do some touch-up / boosting along the way of course.
Hmm.

That's precisely what I am saying Tracer. I've used Wolfgang Paint Sealant for years and it's a phenomenal product. I'm sure there are other comparable products others may suggest, otherwise Wolfgang has some Si02 products that are exactly what I am looking for and such that gets excellent reviews.
I'm probably going to be applying their Uber Ceramic Spray as my base. It's supposed to last up to one year. I'll then use their Si02 Silica Spray on occasion after a wash in order to maintain the paint. Dmitry's Garage found the Silica Spray to be very pretty and one of the most durable sprays made. It can be used as a topper and as often as you desire. These products are supposed to be very easy to apply.
FYI, they also offer a professional type ceramic coating named Profi. It's supposed to last up to 3 years which is longer than I personally desire.
My plan is to make a minor paint correction every year which is what I've always done. I'll clay the vehicle and then buff it with Sonax Profiline Final or Meguiars M03 machine glaze in getting the best shine out of the finish. I'll then apply the Si02 products to maintain that finish for the year.
God Bless,
