A car detailer is unsure whether additional surface preparation is needed after polishing and before applying wax or sealant to maximize durability, and is confused about the effectiveness and application methods of different prep products.

The user lacks clear, authoritative guidance on post-polish surface preparation protocols and product efficacy comparisons, leading to uncertainty about optimal practices for coating longevity.
