I don't think Ceramic will give you more 'gloss' than a good wax. A good wax may even give you more pop and gloss but the ceramic should have more longevity
I did PPF on the front and ceramic all over and the biggest difference I've noticed is that when you hit the car with a power hose the dirt comes off
I've even noticed the car kind of washing itself in heavy rain to an extent
I agree that it's all about the prep which is machine polishing. If you waxed your car after a machine polish it would look amazing too and may have more pop but the ceramic seems like it's more robust and lasts longer, albeit with less 'pop' than a really nice wax
Next time I'm not sure if I would bother. A machine polish followed by a nice wax would look great too, just as good, but might need a fresh coat more often
