New Truck - Suggestions on products to protect paint, while being time/budget friendly? (See Post.)

I will start saying that about a decade ago I was a DIYer from here. Had a LOT of free time and learned a lot. Got the techniques down with the products that worked.

Fast Forward, I just got a new Silverado and am looking for some products to use to protect said paint, trim, and the truck itself. Itll be in West Facing sun majority of the time. I prefer to hand-wash the truck. Looking for products like coatings, wax, etc for the paint and trim that I can apply and "forget," maybe for 1-3 months at a time if not more. Kinda low barrier/effort just purely due to a lack of time. Any help or suggestions would be grateful. Was thinking of a water-based trim protectant and maybe like a spray and wipe ceramic coating (Griots 3n1?)

Yet im all ears for anything else. Thanks!

A follow up from my last post… ‘26 LTZ Z71!

Equipped with the 5.3L, she’s got all the options you’d want! My first full-sized truck. Upgraded from a Maverick.

TNF Recon - Waist Extension for their Curved buckle?

I’m trying to find a way to extend the waist strap on this thing. I’m 5’11, 208lbs and it’s about 4” too short for my waist.

Tried Amazon once, but I realized that the buckles on the backpack are proprietary? They have a curved buckle and versus more of a flesh that you find with universal straps.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
