Default Experience with Different Paint Protectants

Do any Lexus owners have experience with different paint protectants. Mainly concerned about small road debris, sap, tar, and other airborne debris that could harm the paint and gloss of my new Lexus. Looking for an after market product that a auto detailer or body shop could apply. Don't want to pay outrageous dealer markup.

You might want to look at the Automotive Care & Detailing fourm here on CL. Once there, do a Search for paint protectants and you'll probably get some good information.

I have used Rejex in the past and it seems to work good. Dosent last more than a few months though. Need to re-apply.

I have ordered and intend to use the following on my new car to protect the paint - just wondering if anyone has experience with any of these products (note: while this may belong in the detailing forum - since it involves my 2013 ES 300h car - I am putting it here - since this is where those buying a new ES will look first).

BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Waterless wash (got this because we have very hard water)

Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant

Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer
