Default Washes/sealers/waxs please clarify

I have the basic reutine down on my NFR. But what are sealers? Are they synthetic waxes?

I cover my car (and wash it carefully prior), but within a couple of hours of leaving it uncovered I get a fine layer of tan valley dust. I don't want to wash it again, but I don't trust that some wand or waterless system (maybe I'm just ignorant).

I'm using the sonos car wash, will this strip the wax? It feels/looks like it.

Finally, should I put a layer of wax or sealer down before my P21s? The postings are all over the map. Any advice welcomed.

TIA

The Sonus car wash shouldn't strip the wax. I use glaze, then a synthetic wax before S100 (same people who make p21s).

you can prob dust your car after you remove the cover... might need to wash the cover periodicallly.

carnauba over synthetic is a good choice for your car. the synthetic will give the best protection and the wax will give some protection to the synthetic.

agree with crazy's comments above
