User is disappointed with the durability of a ceramic coating on their truck, which is exposed to heavy industrial environments and high mileage, and wants to choose between a new ceramic coating or a more frequently applied sealant.
Existing ceramic coatings lack sufficient durability under extreme conditions (daily exposure to industrial fallout, 35k miles/year, outdoor parking), requiring extensive maintenance and reapplication, while sealants require frequent manual application.
