    Don't use wax or a sealant over a coating. If the coating is working properly then it will pretty much reject the wax or sealant from properly bonding so you're just wasting time, effort and product and most of it will wipe away on the final buff. If it does bond than you're pretty much using the wax rather than what should be an underlying superior product. Then just use that product instead.

    If you're using a spray bottle like the ones from auto parts stores or walmart then by all means use that product to "top" it off. Otherwise look to the same brand if they have a "detail spray" type product. But honestly if I was using something like the TW or Megs, just use that. Particularly if using a spray bottle that doesn't come with extra sprayers because they become clogged with hardened procduct (like Gyeon CanCoat).

    The problem with detailing products is they use words interchangeably. Most "detail sprays" that are premixed and ready to use contain some kind of protection and water beading ability thrown in. So you can leave a bottle in the truck and wipe away bug guts or bird shit. Usually the main features of a detail spray would be light cleaning and lubrication for the towel but also leave a little gloss behind. The best use would be to use after a final rinse just before drying as a "drying aid".

    Using something like this often enough will leave you with the impression that there is a coating already on the paint:

    https://www.carpro-us.com/quick-detail/carpro-elixir-quick-detailer-1000ml-34oz/

    You can mix up your own with any brands "rinseless wash" like , CarPro ech2o etc they all will have a dilution ratio for this. These will be less on leaving protection behind but more geared for drying aid or wiping up light messes without a full on wash. Usually for detail spray you're talking a couple ounces per gallon of distilled water so if you don't intend to use it for actual washing then a little will go a LONG way.

    I was saying you can use any of those, use the ready to run or mix your own. I'd recommend the CarPro Elixir.
