Idea with both is to let water bead up and fall off the car, taking with it any dirt and such from the rain rather than sitting on the paint and eating thru it (acid rain).
Both are sacrificial - wears over time.
...
How long they last depends on your environment and car paint.
..
As for glossiness, which is totally separate from water beading, I still personally prefer Meguiars Gold Class liquid applied with a rotary buffer, hand buffed with a microfibre cloth.
For an average shine, this spray is fine on newer cars where the paint hasn't worn dull.
I'll take free. "Ceramic" or not, beats nothing. Thanks OP.
How is it shill silicone spray? That stuff is awesome.

ITW Promotions has not intention of honoring these rebates. This is the email I received. My local Advance Auto did not want to provide a "pickup receipt".

Relatives and I have done 3 rebates without any issues. We recommend you lookup the stores that have the product in stock, go and purchase, save receipt, apply for the rebate online, and get your cash in a couple of weeks
I clicked thru TCB for 4% plus their $2.50 promo offered for activation that ended 5.2.21. I always check for cb sites for extra moolah plus the part was on sale in (VA). The product with taxes, $13.xx.

Maybe try going back to the store to see if they can reprint the receipt? Mine always gives me a paper receipt when picking up an online order, and I have to sign their copy of the receipt.
FWIW, I was able to get my rebate claim approved using the emails - order, pickup ready, order picked up as my attachment. My local advancedauto was having network issues and they weren't able to give me a pickup receipt but the order picked up email came a day later.

If not,
Wash
Clay bar
Optional Polishing compound with rotary (depends on how much swirls and paint damage exists)
Buff
Car wax with rotary
Buff
...
A quick spray and microfiber wipe down of clean or bwaxed cars with Meguars Quick Detailer spray can boost the illusion of shine and gloss easily.
...
But for selling cars. A clean engine compartment, vacuumed under the seats and mats, etc can help.
...
If lazy?
Wash car - skip if not too dirty.
Then the secret?

Wipe with the cleaner, lightly buff with microfiber.
Seriously good gloss and shine for a wipe!
This is what I'd do because of the easy nice gloss. I use it on my cars between a full wax.
Use klasse aio and sealant glaze. Wash well, clay, aio, 2 to 6 sg. I do 4 coats of sg and it lasts 1 yr where i live.
I used a $10 speed perk coupon and I just got my rebate yesterday for $12.49. Guess I got lucky on making $10.
