How to apply Gtechniq C2V3 with a sealant

Hello guys, I plan on using gtechniqs spray ceramic coating for this coming winter. I want to use chemical guys jetseal in conjunction.

Besides the typical paint correction steps are done, all I need to do is apply the sealant let cure/dry and then simply spray and apply the spray ceramic on top?

NO, use it the other way around, ceramic coating first then sealant.
If you are going that far with prep, why not use a better ceramic coating?

After a little research, as I'm unfamiliar with Gtechniq C2V3, it appears it's a sealant so OP wants to put sealant over sealant.

Overall, like ZHP noted you want ceramic coating > sealant but I would find a product that is actually a ceramic coating and apply it the same day as you do your wash/prep as now you're most likely going to have to reprep your car.

This article is a nice read. I'm following his ideas on the whole process, still question remains though if the gtech panel wipe is recommended which strips wax and all other surface stuff then why even seal? This is why I am primarily confused.

I think I'm going to go with:

Wash
Clay
Swirl x
Ultimate Polish
Wash
Gtechniq
Spray wax

Do not put down wax before gtechniq, gtech needs a non slick surface to properly bond with paint. I opted for a spray wax as the last step here bc I am unsure if a regular paste or liquid that requires drying first and then buffing out would strip the gtech layer underneath. Can anyone confirm?
