It is possible the paint is on the hard side and the defects were not removed?
I have seen your other thread on AGO as well and I would recommend to re-evaluate your washing technique and tools.
Onto coatings. One thing to mention is that coatings can still swirl up. So proper washing techniques are important. They do help with wash induced marring.
I saw some mention McKee`s 37 coating. It has been reformulated but it still seems easy enough to apply. I have never used any version of their paint coating.
Pinnacle Black Label V2 is easy to apply.
Optimum Gloss Coat is easy to apply. Marr resistance seems ok. If you are looking for a 1 year coating then this would be one to consider. I have had it not make the acclaimed 2 year guarantee that Optimum claims on 2 cars I applied it to. I`d consider McKee`s new formula over this.
I am testing out CQuartz UK topped with Cquartz TiO2 (aka classic). I spoke with Corey about this and he mentioned that UK cures harder and faster and TiO2 adds a more stain resistant top coat. It does take a little more effort to apply UK.
