Time wise, the paint has cured by now (according to the painter, so i put some faith in his word. Its been one month)

The car will be vinyl wrapped immediately. Should i bother with a sealant on the fresh paint or can that be done once the vinyl comes off a few years later?

Why put anything on it if you're going to wrap it? Sealants and waxes are for protection. If you're wrapping the entire car, what's the use?

I do know i need to degrease it with alcohol beforehand, but I wasnt sure if sealant was more like a protective hardened coat rather than a consumable that needs to be reapplied regularly. thanks
