Types of Protective Coatings
Car wax usually refers to Carnauba car wax which is a product from a Brazilian palm plant. The wax protects the factory coat, although it can be more easily damaged than a ceramic coating because it is made from natural ingredients. On the other hand, ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that contains silica, also known as a nano-ceramic coating. Due to its being synthetic, it does outlast wax. This is the primary difference with wax when applied, sits on the surface of the vehicle’s paint while a ceramic coating bonds chemically with the surface. This protects the vehicle from UV radiation, rain, pollution, and acid substances such as bird droppings.
Benefits of Both Protective Coatings
Car wax is easy and cost-effective to have applied. It’s also eco-friendly and generally easy to apply. The vehicle needs to be carefully washed, then cleaned with a microfiber cloth. After that, the wax can be applied and buffed. The wax job will last about eight weeks.
On the other hand, the ceramic coating provides better UV protection overall. Also, it lasts much longer depending on the products used. For the best outcome, have a professional do this process.
