There are a multitude of answers out there. I searched "automotive sealant vs. wax" and there are many responses to check out.

A great detailing web forum is:

Wash, clay bar, polish, sealant, then wax.

You don't have to wax after sealant. Most do just to get the extra pop from the paint.

 

Thank you both

 

Just as long it has the sealant right ? Does the clay strip of the previous wax or sealant

 

Yes, or you can wash with Dawn dish washing detergent and that will take the wax off as well.

 

Dead on... Just make sure to wait enought time in between sealant and wax as most sealants have a flash period..

 

How long is to wait

 

Depends on the product. Some flash fairly quickly an can be topped 45 min after application. Some you have to wait 24 hours. Just search the autogeek forum for whatever products you plan on using.
