Default Ceramic & sun spots

I have a few deep sun spots that I don’t want to pay to get fixed. They aren’t awful and are not that noticeable, but obviously I don’t want it to get worse. I live in the sun and park outside.

I was looking at the Ceramic coating and wanted to know if it would be the best thing to help with protection those spots specifically? I know it has benefits, but if applied over sun spots, is this the best thing for me?

I have read some about ceramic but not a lot to
understand whether this will help prevent further damage or not. If there is something else I should be looking at , I’m open too.

The clearcoat has broken up? Can you post pictures showing this? You can't fix with a wax/sealant, it's paint correction and likely actually needing new clear coat.

yea it’s broken up. I know I can’t fix it unless I get a respray, I’m just trying to prevent any further damage.

Do I just keep a good wax/sealant over top, or has anyone had luck with this Ceramic stuff helping with UV rays and slowing down sun damage?

Oh, yes, any decent wax, sealant or ceramic will help this - quickest and easiest is to keep it cleaned regularly and apply a hybrid ceramic.

Thanks. I use a “hybrid ceramic” now sometimes. I’ll just keep at it.
