There are many different coatings, many of which are DIY. As far as by hand yes, but the paint should be decon'd, clayed, corrected with a polisher, prepped for the coating either by using a polish that acts as a pimer, or a special wipe down to make sure the paint is surgically clean before application.

Once clean, tapped off if desired, apply strictly following instructions.
Polish Angel makes a coating that is the easiest. Applies a wax, long cure time and removal like a wax. Totally foolproof.

The other easiest option is Kamikaze Infinity wax. I have this topping Kamikaze Miyabi coating. It can be used by itself. Application is the same a a wax.

From there the other manufacturers products vary in difficulty, mainly in the timing of product leveling. As long as the directions are followed there should be no issues.

If issues such as high spots arise, there are products to address that as well without stripping offf the panel to recoat.
