Default Ceramic car coatings

I’m interested in putting a ceramic coating on my Torch Red C5. I’ve read where the brand The Last Coat is the best.
So, what do you guys think of this ceramic coating that’s supposed to be far superior to regular automotive waxes? I want to protect my Vette as much as I can as I don’t have a garage to put it in.
Any information on the subject will be appreciated.

Optimum has a great consumer-level product called Gloss Coat that you can apply yourself, and has no need for infrared "drying". I use the Optimum product line for my detailing business and have had great success with them. I currently have Gloss Coat on my 2000 convertible, and it was extremely user-friendly to apply.
Here's a video of the application process, for your consideration:

I do not work for these companies, and get no compensation from them. Just passing along stuff that has worked for me.
