At the moment, I have three vehicles in my care with coatings, two of them daily drivers. The coating really makes cleaning so much easier, and keeps them cleaner for longer. Not to mention much quicker to dry. This is especially important on wheels.
But then I see what wax looks and feels like and I suddenly feel nostalgic. If a car spends 99% of its life in a garage, then does one need that ease of cleaning? Probably not. Waxes on the other hand has an edge in slickness and a richer gloss, they also seem to suit non-metallic flat red or white better.

This is exactly why I only have ceramic coating on my dailys. Even then, I don't think i'll coat the dailys again, it's just so much effort and the water spots become frustrating. They are much more work than a wax. It takes me 45 minutes to wax/seal a falcon and 30 minutes if im using a spray wax. A ceramic takes hours of prep, minimum 3 hours to apply and then constant work to keep in top shape for 2-3 years of life.
I've used my Sportsman as a guinea pig for lots of products. Currently my P250 has Lustre and Jet, my Rebel has Collinite 845, sportsman has Nova Evo on the tops with Collinite 476 on the sides (testing durability of the 476, been 8 months so far and still good), Territory has Nova Evo.
Collinite 845 is still such a bloody good wax. It brings so much depth to the paint.
