Depends on your expectations, your OCD level and how much time you have. And your budget! Ceramic coating is a great idea. Lasts a couple years, looks great and makes future maintenance easier.
If you're a little handy and interested, you can do it all yourself. Spend a few hours on youtube researching different processes and products. Otherwise find a mobile detailer or detail shop and let them set you up.
I like products from Carpro, Gyeon and Adam's, but most brands are good enough for the average person. I like AutoFiber towels and applicators. I have a cheap Amazon pressure washer with upgraded nozzles/fittings/hoses.
Decon Wash (Carpro Lift or Gyeon Restart)
Wheels and Tires (Adam's Wheel + Tire Cleaner)
Iron Decon (Adam's Iron remover)
Clay Decon (Autofiber clay towel)
Polish (Carpro Reflect) (assuming brand new car in decent shape)
Panel Prep wipe (Gyeon Prep)
Ceramic Coat (Gyeon MOHS EVO)
Maintenance Washes (Carpro Reset)
Drying Aid (Carpro Elixir or Gyeon Detailer)
Tire/Plastic Trim/Interior (Carpro Perl at different dilution rates)
Good luck!
