Waxes are Mostly Organic, The organic ingredients break down much faster than inorganic ones, which is why waxes don’t last more than a month. If you’re showing your car in an auto show and you want to blow people away with shine, you definitely want to wax it. But if you’re looking to protect your paint, you need to look elsewhere.
Sealants are a combination of inorganic and organic ingredients, paint sealants give you durability and shine. Sealants are polymer based and they provide paint protection that a wax just can’t. They prevent fading from UV exposure, they’re hydrophobic, and they fight against etching and staining. Waxes do too, but unless you’re waxing your paint every week, don’t expect a wax to be your protectant.
Coatings
There are different types of coatings: acrylic, ceramic, and silicate or glass.
Coatings act like a second clear coat to preserve the life of your paint and keep it in excellent condition. They’re super glossy too, but the gloss is unlike that of a wax or sealant.
They're also Semi-Permanent meaning that to truly remove them you need to abrade them from the surface.
This makes coatings a viable long term option when it comes to Paint Protection.
Why are our Ceramic Coatings Special?
Instead of relying on the traditional backbone of Silicon Dioxide (Si02) alone, we embrace a more complex approach combining Si02, Si3N4 (Silicon Nitride), and SiC (Silicon Carbide) to create a product line of coatings to solve all vehicle owner preferences and needs. This philosophy yields exceptionally thick coatings with extreme durability, strong chemical resistance, intense UV & heat protection, a high gloss finish, and an impressive hydrophobic surface, making vehicle maintenance super fast and simple.
The Main Challenge with coatings is the cost of installation , Prepping for coating application is a project in itself. Paint correction (claying, polishing) must be done so all scratches and imperfections are removed from the paint.
Then once everything is ready, the surface must be treated with a panel prep product before installing the coating.
Once Cured the Coating will act like a second skin for the paint and protect it from all contaminants , just like a Sealant+Wax Combo but with the added Hardness, Acid Resistance and Longevity.
