You still have to clean your car properly or else you will swirl the car for example. It's really there so that you don't have to always wax your car on a regular basis and make it easier to clean since the hydrophobicity is usually stronger.

Yeah, ceramic coatings offer nearly zero physical protection, even against swirls. The hardness they advertise is on the ASTM pencil scale, not Mohs. A 9H is a pencil like #2B. I have gotten tons of rock chips and scratches on a coated panel.
