Your question's a bit confusing - exterior detailing does not mean a wax or glaze which is applied to the paint - it's a service that involves using polishes and (if needed) compounds to remove swirls and scratches from the paint, leaving you with a smooth, marring-free finish. How long your paint will stay that way is entirely up to how you take care of it afterwards; if you wash using the proper technique and apply protection on a periodic basis, you can keep your paint in good condition for a long time, without needing to polish. On the converse, if you bring your car to a kanto carwash immediately after the detailing service, you can expect swirls and scratches to be induced immediately.

Now, if you were referring to the sealant which they apply after the detailing service, what they told me when I asked was that they used Eagle One. I was a bit confused, as Eagle One doesn't really make any sealants (none that I can find on their website anyway), but I guess they were referring to Eagle One Nanowax. I don't have any firsthand experience with this, but based on some reading, durability doesn't seem to good, so it would be best to apply a more durable wax or sealant after the detailing session.

Generally cars out of the casa come with bare paint - no wax, no sealant. You can wax a car as soon as you get it - paint is cured straight from the factory, and generally, a "new car" is not really new - it most likely has spent a number of weeks in transit from the factory to the dealer, not to mention the time it spends in the dealer parking lot. Go ahead and get the paint protection - always better to keep your car in good condition from the get go. Alternatively, you can maintain your car yourself - read the below thread to get you started on proper wash technique, as well as the basics of car detailing.

I keep a layer of OCW over my 845 and Klasse twins, then apply either Nanosliq or Reflections spray wax as a booster after every wash. So far no issues, though since I pretty much boost after every wash, I have no idea what durability by themselves might be.
