Most "bulletproof" product(s) and method(s)

[2002mrhill]

I am looking for the best product(s) and method(s) recommendations to offer the most bulletproof protection for my vehicles. I have 2 daily drivers, 2014 Honda Civic and a 2016 Toyota Camry. I drive them a ton and want to protect my investments as best as possible.

OBJECTIVE: Highest most durable amount of protection against UV damage, fading, scratches, road salt.

METHOD: Hand application versus DA polisher. Will I gain any durability or protection in applying a product by hand vs. DA polisher? I understand the polisher is much better for paint correction. Does it protect your investment better to correct paint from minor defects as you own a vehicle OR why not just wash/wax frequently and then correct the paint just 1 time before you sell the vehicle?

PRODUCTS: Considering my vehicles are a few years old, paint is in good not excellent condition, would you recommend AIO (cleaner/paint sealant) or multi-step application with a paint sealant as final coat? Will one system offer more benefit for giving me that durability and protection factor I am looking for? Or are both so similar in offering the same level of protection/durability that I should just go with the AIO because it is much quicker/easier?

Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated!!

Good inputs. If you want the "most" durable then you are talking about a coating - which lasts anywhere from 1yr to forever. Please confirm.

How often do you wash? I use optimum rinseless spray and wax as a quick detailer and drying agent every time I wash which is every 1-2 weeks. I machine apply Collinite 476s about twice a year.

Id recommend Finish Kare 1000P hi temp paste wax. It's cheap, very durable and gives the paint a glassy look. I've used it for about 3 years now on my mothers daily driver, comes out looking fantastic and lasts about 6 months.
