Don't put sealant on it - It will look like hell! Unless a high quality UV resistant type is used, won't last that long. There are high quality marine sealants that do work and adhere well. You would need to do a careful masking tape job as well as make sure sealant has a backing - but do this as last resort!
I just bought a car that has this bodywrap all over it, and it peels off cleanly. that's a good suggestion. I think you can buy rolls of it in MANY colors on ebay. pick one close to the color of your car, and cover it up.
or.
choose a color you want the entire top of your car to be, and wrap the entire top.
