It's a sealant, right? I thought you usually did either a sealant or wax, not both?

Use after polishing, instead of a wax.

SRP>EGP>HD Wax would be their system or just SRP > EGP.

Personally I would just use SRP & HD though as the EGP isn't all that imo

I would just polish and use a good wax. My car will get a quick wash and dry then glazed again and waxed again even though i only done it two weeks ago. Want it to be proper shiney.

Sealants always come before wax. Sealants need as clean paint as possible to bond to the surface better. Wax will pretty much sick to anything

A wax is a protective coating, hence the beading after rain. Does the same job as a sealant afaik so no need for both.

Noooo a sealant is basically a synthetic wax. They both do the same sort of job really. There's lots of arguments about what's better and for what reason. But without going into things stupidly in depth
Sealants last long but don't add anything for the paintwork other than protection
Wax tends to last abit less than the sealants, but they add more gloss and depth to the paintwork

Different people like different things really. I'd just for the srp then hd wax. Deffo
