Both are CarPro products. First you must have a perfectly clean car and free of scratches or swirls. Polish then clay bar. Followed by a thorough 2 bucket wash. It's an all day thing. Getting this done by someone can cost $500 to $1000's depending on paint correction. Once done cleaning is much easier and so is maintaining the shine. Sorry if this is more info than you wanted

You have that in reverse order lol. You want to 2 bucket wash, decontaminate, clay bar, polish, wipe down with ipa solution and then do the ceramic coating. There are lots of YouTube videos on it. Definitely need to have the paint as perfect as possible bc the ceramic coating will lock it all in. I was quoted $1000 by a shop to coat paint, windows, and all trim. I'm pretty lazy so I don't want to do all that work but I also dont want to pay $1000 either lol
