What is the difference between a wax and a sealant?
There are two choices when it comes to protecting paintwork: a traditional wax, known as Carnauba wax, or the newer polymer sealant, also referred to as a synthetic wax. Although they have differing characteristics, both have the same goal—protection. What differentiates the two visually? Carnauba waxes are typically described to provide a warm glow to the paint, versus the glossier look of many sealants. Typically, a sealant will come out on top in terms of durability, but this topic is very debatable.
