Wax vs. Ceramic Coating
Wax vs. ceramic coating, which is the better alternative and what is the difference? These are questions that are commonly asked when it comes to auto detailing services.
It makes sense that there is a lot of confusion around this topic, especially since these two can be used together to keep your vehicle’s exterior protected.
Ceramic coating is becoming increasingly popular as technology
continues to advance.
Once ceramic coating is cured, it creates a chemical bond on the
surface it is applied to. It offers a great resistance to soaps, water, and various
environmental conditions. Ceramic coating are much more durable than wax, as
they resist heat, UV rays, and harsh detergents.
Some ceramic coatings can last anywhere from two to five years,
while some professional coatings can last the lifetime of the car.
Wax is used as a protective barrier between your vehicle’s paint and the environmental conditions. The most common types of waxes used in the industry are montan, paraffin, and carnauba.
These are typically blended with solvents to make it easier to apply onto your vehicle’s exterior. On average, wax can offer protection to your vehicle for as long as three to five weeks.
However, some waxes can offer protection in the range of four to six months.
