The stuff I use is available for anyone. My favorite coatings are made by 22PLE. They make their consumer grade coatings closer to the "Pro" coatings then any other manufacturer. Pro stuff the manufacture backs with a warranty, one of the differences.
When everything was back ordered and impossible to get I started using Gyeon coatings. Very nice to use. Ive also used CQuartz, Polish Angel, and a few others. They all have their pros and cons. Its all what you want out of a coating.
One thing with bikes is to get caught up in longevity. Bikes spend most of their life in a garage, were your daily is outside and gets driven thru everything. So, with bikes, I lean more towards the visual, water sheeting and staying clean longer.

Which one do you think does the best for a bike? Like you said my stays in the garage when not riding.

Gyeon CanCoat is an easy one to put on, and it's exceptional protection. It was the first LSP I did on my bike.
Polish Angel's Primer, Glass Coat, and High Gloss are nothing short of a pleasure to apply...if you're into that kinda thing...but very time consuming. You will not be disappointed with how it looks.
Make sure to study up on how to use either, before you start, but either of those would be a good option. Eagle knows his stuff. Some of the stuff he recommends is top shelf ($$$), but the results are worth it.
If you're going for the "Best" look, Polish Angel Cosmic V2 topped with their High Gloss, is the most stunning LSP Ive used. So easy to apply, like a sealant. Of course the paint must be machined polished to as close to perfect as you can
Here is a picture of my '09 RG with Cosmic and High Gloss on it. getting vivid black to be this defect free and to finish out like this took a lot of trial and error of products and technique.
