^^Wanted to correct you here as I think you are confusing sealants with coatings, 2 totally different things.
Coatings are actual additional layer of product (for example OptiCoat is a resin of sort) that cures to the surface and would need to be polished to be removed.
I'm speaking of sealants which are a liquid product that is applied like a traditional wax (thin layer), and it actually chemically cross-links to the paint, reduces surface tension and provides tons of slickness and gloss. Unlike wax which is a layer on top of the clear coat that is applied, polymer sealants basically form a hard shell and bond with the pores of the paint chemically, and don't "build up" like waxes. You will get a solid 6 months out of an application, be more dust repellant as well.
My 2 favorite liquid sealants are Menzerna Power Lock and Adam's Liquid Paint Sealant, I also used Sonax PNS, but due to the "non-slick" feel, although its extremely hydrophobic, that is now dedicated to wheels.

And S, I'm working on getting my wash routine as efficient as you, just got myself an electric PW and working on getting a foam lance as well
