Generally, the basic differences between different waxing are all about the base carnauba.  There are different carnauba content percentages. Any high-quality waxes will start at 70% carnauba, and above.

Carnauba can protect against UV, but it cannot hold up to its chemicals. Also, it has got a low melting point. Hence, during the hot summers, this protection may become ineffective. As such, wax is not so bad, but in today’s context, it is an outdated option.

Synthetic paint sealant

Wax is made with a certain organic base component, while synthetic sealants are usually man-made. While waxes are usually made from the carnauba from any tree, but sealants are only made for protection. They may use many different base compounds, like polymer, and Teflon too.

Generally, they can hold significantly better. They can hold even higher melting points, UV rays and offers stronger resistance against chemicals. As technology has progressed, it is possible to apply by spraying and offer wonderful gloss and protection. 

Sealants are also budget-friendly and can offer good protection. You can get such sealants applied at any nearby shop.

Ceramic coatings

The latest option that has arrived in the market is ceramic coatings. They use a certain high solid content and create a shell on the car’s original paint. 

You can get many benefits by selecting this option as compared to your typical sealant. 

  • They will last significantly longer. 
  • They are much easier to clean and also maintain
  • They will stay cleaner for a much longer time.
  • They can offer much higher resistance against different chemicals, hence will not strip off if your car is exposed to different road grime, salt, tar, acids, and de-icing agents, etc. 
  • They can hold up against much higher temperatures.
  • Can offer light resistance to any wash-induced swirls.
  • It is much safer and easier to polish and offer any touch-up to your coating if necessary.

Conclusion

In the market often people may make many weird claims. Don’t believe in this, remember whatever option you may choose, you still must wash the car properly. There is always a possibility of getting a scratch on your car.  However, you must choose some method to  protect your car’s original paint.
