Paint protectant is a key part of car detailing that is crucial to the long term protection of a car's exterior paint. There are a variety of options that customers can choose from and its important that car owners understand what they are and which one they should choose. In this blog post we will explore wax and ceramic coating, and explain why ceramic coating stands superior.
Wax
Wax is traditional paint sealant and has been a staple option for years. Wax provides a hydrophobic barrier and protection against UV rays, minor scratches, and oxidation. It also gives a car's exterior a glossy finish and warm shine. Despite its advantages, however, wax has a shorter lifespan that other options and requires a more frequent application to maintain protection. Overall, although wax has been a long-standing option for customers, there have been relatively recent innovations that has revolutionized the industry.
Ceramic Coating
Ceramic coating is a cutting-edge product that has quickly risen in popularity amongst car detailers and owners. Ceramic coating comes in two forms: concetrated and spray. The concentrated form is the most effective, however the spray is still an effective paint protectant for a lower price.
Due to the chemical bonds formed by the product and vehicle's paintwork, ceramic coating has a longevity that surpasses wax. Typically, the concentrated forms of ceramic coating last for 2-5 years and the spray forms last for 3-6 months. Ceramic coating also offers a superior hydrophobic coating with enhanced protection from UV rays, oxidation, and scratches. Finally, ceramic coating is improves the aesthics of cars by adding depth, clarity, and a glossy shine to a car's paint. It's clear why professional retailers prefer ceramic coating, whether in its concentrated or spray form, over wax.
