Correct me if I am wrong... but aren't you supposed to polish the car BEFORE you wax it? it just doesnt make sense....

And what the heck is a sealer? Where can it be bought?

Yes...clay, polish, and wax. Sealer is something people put on to give greater protection. Typically you would clay, polish, and seal, then wax if you like. You could omit the wax if you use a sealer. It's basically a synthetic wax.

Here are some good options for a sealer:

For a sealer, I like Wolfgang products. Then I follow up with the Wolfgang Fuzion Estate Carbanuba wax for the depth/gloss.

The sealer isnt to bad at $40, but the estate wax is $175 for 8oz
