    Guess it depends who you ask, ha.
    My local detail guys say that waxing over sealant makes no sense. Mainly because it promotes water spots, where as sealant will allow water to sheet off.

    They don't sheet/bead any differently, unless you're talking about a ceramic coat. Plus, water spots don't matter unless you live in an area that has like zero dust/pollen. Look up most detailing websites and forums, most generally encourage carnuba over sealant if you want to.

    1) Yes
    2) Yes
    3) Yes
    4) You need to put a wax on top of it to make it last.

    I typically use
    $40 Collinite 915 Marque D’ Elegance Wax-Premium Carnauba+Polymer Concours Sealant. Show Car-Deep Shine & High Gloss + Durable, Long-Lasting Paint Protection for Cars, Trucks, & Motorcycles (12 fl oz)
    Collinite 915 over the top. Works great!

    False about not lasting...I get around 6 months of protection here in Canada from one application of Hydro2.
