I leased my X5 last year Aug and had the same confusion as I do have OCD.
I spent 1200 for cermic-pro coating silver pkg and learnt it is waste of money.
Pros: It improves hydrophobic and acts a sacrificing layer for tree saplings and Bird drops.
Cons: won’t protect from water marks, bug guts baking, rock chips and swirl marks
Until and unless you use your car only on sunny days don’t think much on maintenance.
My routine:
I hand wash my car bi-weekly.
Pressure washer
2 buckets with grits
Brushes for Tires, Wheels, seats and spokes
Shampoo: Adams mega foam car soap
Snow foam canon: Trinova
P&S Detailing Products Xpress Interior Cleaner 1pt
Detail Factory Ultra-Soft Detailing Brush Small, Comfortable Grip and Scratch-Free Cleaning for Exterior, Interior Panels, Emblems, Badges, Gauge Cluster, Infotainment Screen

Recommendation: Don’t waste money for these fancy stuff as we cannot keep the car as factory new
Reasons: Unprecedent events can cause any issues and make us to spend again
Advice : Wash the car biweekly and don’t worry about swirl marks which can’t be avoided
