You can buy the sealant from many of the suppliers, it's not difficult to apply. There are newer sealants that are coming out that make the original 'ceramic' sealants a thing of the past.

As stated, the key is prep. The sealants not only 'seal', but fill all the micro-divets in the surface, which prevents 'foreign' materials from gathering/sticking there.

Clay bar removes the crap in micro-divets, the 'leveling' sealants/product fills them.

Many of the detail places use Chemical Guys stuff:

You can homework it, find one to try, and save big by you doing the prep.

With that said, there are better, 'hybrid' products that apply & remove easier, and last just as long, if not longer. Used to be if you messed up on the ceramic application you would have to strip it off and try again. The newer and the hybrid products prevent that.

Call around to the detail places and ask what product they use.
