Why would you say sealants are a gimmick?
22ple lasts 18-24 months. Its a silica based polymer that actually creates a hard barrier between paintwork and wash mitts, towels, etc. Have used this on several cars. One of this the paint was so soft even a very gentle wipe down after buffing the car out put in tiny micro scratches. This is a big pain when you've just spent 10+ hours getting paint the way it should be. Applying the 22ple has actually helped eliminate the addition of scratches for at least a year now. Yes, it is expensive. Probably $50-$60 for a 1 car application it is effective. If your into the feel on top of the protection your able to put any wax on top of it.
Look it up. It's pretty awesome.
So your going to promote a cleaning maintenance plan but then leave out a grit guard for the "clean water" bucket? My husband details cars for a leaving and he uses 2 buckets. You wash top to bottom, anything that takes more then light pressure to get off the paintwork he just pulls out a clay bar.
Really though. It's all about the time, effort and money your welling to put into it. You could spend $200 on products and everything you need or you could spend $1k products and things you need.
