How do you guys maintain your paint for the long run?

I know we own offroad vehicles there going to get scratched chipped and dirty but in the long run what do you guys use well if anything ? To take care of the paint I tried a product out but doesn’t seem to legit F11 topcoat it works but idk for the long run and I know ceramic coat is best way to go but what’s other products you guys have used I’m curious?

Is the theory behind this to become intoxicated enough to not notice bad paint? ?
 
Im actually useing clear film in specific places. The film itself may get scratched, hit, and worn out but all i gotta do is replace it.
 
Try to detail it 2 times a year. Just after winter and again right before. 3 or more step process.

Decon with iron x if needed.
Wash.
Claybar.
Quality all in one polish/wax.
Top coat of wax by hand if I'm in the mood.

I was not happy when I found out Toyota super white is a single stage paint. Gunna be an uphill battle with the elements.
