ceramic vs polymer ?

My wife just bought brand new Golf GTI, light silver, .....i have been using Epic polymer for years on my 2004 MC and
now on my 2016 4 door MC....Epic by PrimaCare great product and had been using it on her FIT outside with bird droppings
and it seemed protective enough

the Golf is going to be living outside also in the driveway by bushes and trees so will have sap and bird crap

the question is Polymer vs Ceramic .....the dealer offered Resistall ceramic $1100 7 yr warranty ( whatever that means) ....i think we will pass on that so i
post my question: what product do you'all recommend for a brand new car, and is there really a big advantage in protection of ceramic over polymer? is it
really necessary on a a slippery brand new car to clay prior, or maybe use a polymer/ceramic product that has cleaner wax-like properties, or just use something totally non-abrasive ?
