Clear coat protection

Good morning, we just purchased a 36' travel trailer and were offered the usual plethora of protection goodies, none of which we are considering accept the "never fade" paint protection. Clear coat protection. Runs around $2000 Canadian and kinda makes sense for resale value, decal delamination issues. But pricey eh?(had to throw that in there, sorry). Does yearly waxing and the work it involves do the same thing? Is there other finish protection options? Thanks for your input.

Good wax once a year and under cover when stored.

IMHO waxing several times a year will protect your TT as well as can be against fading.
