Yes, most repair services include sealing to protect the surface. Confirm with your contractor.

Onyx countertops have pros and cons. If you seal it properly and take care not to damage it, it can make a good countertop surface. However, it's more often used in bathrooms, where it’s less likely to sustain damage. Having an onyx kitchen countertop is possible, but you’ll need to take extra care not to burn, stain, or otherwise damage the material.

Clorox wipes contain bleach, which is unsafe for use on quartz countertops. When used over time, the bleach will damage the countertop surface and cause it to become discolored or damaged. Instead of Clorox wipes, use a pH-neutral multipurpose solution and clean the surface gently using a soft microfiber cloth.

Quartzite is a natural stone, while engineered quartz is artificial, including a mix of mined ground quartz and manufactured polymer resins and pigments. You should clean both types of stone with non-abrasive cleaners with a low or neutral pH. That means skipping cleaners with vinegar or acids, plus wire brushes and scouring pads.
