Waxing vs Ceramic Protection

Waxing vs Ceramic Protection

Carnauba wax gives unmatched warm gloss for 6–8 weeks and costs little — perfect before a road trip or a sale listing. Polymer sealants last 4–6 months with slightly sharper reflections.

Ceramic coatings are a different league: professionally applied, they bond to the clear coat for 2–5 years of chemical resistance, UV defence, and extreme water beading. They cost more and need paint correction first.

Our rule of thumb: daily drivers get sealant twice a year; garage-kept pride-and-joy cars earn ceramic. Ask us at your next visit and we will recommend honestly for your car and budget.
