Your car’s paint is constantly exposed to UV rays, acid rain, bugs, and road debris. Protection is key — but which option is right for you?
Carnauba Wax:
Look: Deep, warm glow that enhances color.
Longevity: 1–2 months.
Best For: Car shows, special occasions, or those who enjoy a frequent shine.
Paint Sealant:
Look: Sleek, mirror-like shine.
Longevity: 4–6 months.
Best For: Everyday drivers who want longer-lasting protection with minimal upkeep.
Ceramic Coating:
Look: Ultra-glossy, water-repelling finish.
Longevity: 2–5 years.
Best For: Owners who want the highest level of protection with minimal maintenance.
Pro Tip:
Wax is like sunscreen for short trips, sealant is like wearing a light jacket, and ceramic is like a full suit of armor. Choose based on how you use your vehicle and your budget.
