Every paint color is different also. I think that MY car looks better with wax than with the coatings I have used (Opti and Chem Guys.)
My personal experience is that coatings last 3-6 months in the real world. They are expensive and difficult to apply. The longer it lasts, the more difficult it is. High end wax cost <$5 per application. Heck Chemical Guys coating is $150!
Don't get me wrong, I will put a coating on for a paying customer who wants it. I also use spray on/rinse off silica sealants McKee's Hydro Blue and Gyeon Wet Coat for regular customers. THey will give good protection for 3 months.

3-6 months i would imagine is for a daily driver, but mine only sees sun and the only water it sees is from the hose. I'm hoping mine lasts much longer than that with the occasional applicaiton of Gyeon Boost but to each his own!
