In my experience, admittedly with a black Infiniti, ceramic coating was the only way to keep my son's car from getting destroyed. His assigned parking spot at school was right under a "well populated" tree for years.

Ceramic Pro !!!!! Have had it on my car for a year. No wax needed , brilliant shine and most importantly has protected the car from birds, sap and road paint encounters

To the op, buffing or a very fine wet sand then polish
= as good as new. Your ok bud, wasn't on that long.

It varies on the package and your location. With paint correction---$500-1500. I have Expel on front and select other places. Ceramic Pro over.

Forget the polishing and compound. If it is acidic to the paint it will take sanding 90 percent of the time. Trust me when I say this, use 3M Trizact sand paper. You can buy it for a sanding block. (I used 3000 to 2000 levels) This will allow you to cure any minor scratches in the future, also. This type of paper is actually padded where you dont have un-level sanding contact. You can buff out the marks with 3M compound or even Meguiars Ultimate compound with a microfiber pad.
