Paint sealant.  Expensive! Google is your friend.

I've been using this summer and the clean up after a drive is really easy. I just use conditioned water and micro fiber cloth to remove bugs and road grim. Shine is always good I just wipe on a new coat once a month.

I've had good luck with Rejex.  http://www.rejex.com/rejex.html

I bought it for my new wheels and recently started using it for my front bumper.  Brake dust comes off with a dedicated wheel microfiber wash mitt in one wipe.  Bugs wipe off the front bumper.

I'm sure this is a great product but lots of great products out there. We can add one more to the list.

I am confused on this F11 product.

I have seen some videos that seem to imply that this liquid stuff
replaces a car wax. ( car is filthy, wash,  then f11 - all done )

But my gut is telling me that this is more of a 'detail spray'
such that I still have to do all of the hard work
of clay, wash, wax etc,  AND THEN use the F11 to touch up in between waxes.

What is the real story ?    :idk:   This is a costly product...

Sealants do replace wax and they tend to last longer.   The wife and I switched over to them years ago.
