I would be interested to hear your findings because i think most of this is incorrect. A ceramic coating is designed to be harder than the clear coat so you should not induce any marring if you add a quality carnauba wax or sealant as long as it is NOT a cleaner wax or polish with any abrasives in it.

As for repealing water, waxes have their own properties for this so it will just react differently until the wax itself dissipates.

However, this is just my speculation and I could be completely wrong. It has definitely happened before lol
That's what I found by doing some checking, I could also ask a few companies directly. I agree about the marring but ceramic can still get scratches it's just harder to do
