If you want to seal it to begin with, I wouldn't attempt on your own. Pay to get it done once, and done right. The cost of a new paint job is probably 3K for same quality, maybe a little orange peel on the doors from a great shop. I'd rather do that every 8 years and get the chance to change colors than to protect paint I know is already poor.
Honestly, I would get it out of your head and just enjoy the car as is. rock chips and whatnot happen, don't let the car being new brainwash you into thinking the paint has to be perfect. You'll forget to enjoy what you bought it for!
Spend the money on a Quickjack system instead.
