has anybody in the patina camp tried ceramic coating/wax? I use it on my 2015 silverado. sheds water like crazy so it must seal up the surface I guess. maybe too shiny?

I have used "silicone bassed" ceramics detail products, most will leave a deep gloss shine. Also finicky to apply unless the paint is prepped perfectly. I think with the "patina" type paint, its too rough and will cause debris to get stuck into the coatings.
I think a matte clear coat would seal well, without the shine. And washing it would be a lot easier, since you wouldnt be rubbing old paint off. I know with my '52 in the garage, I will walk by and rub some dirt off the fender(i think it was resprayed in the 80s) and it takes that single stage paint right off. Its just like dust now.
