Newbie wax question

[CEE DOG]

If you polish and seal your car why wax? Is it purely for looks?

[imported_Ol' Red]

Yes, the sealant will last longer than wax, so topping with wax is usually just for the deep, warm, look that a carnauba gives.

[craigdt]

Yep. And I like to try out as many new products as I can

Sealing and waxing are similar ideas. As the above posters have said, a sealant will last longer, whereas a carnauba wax will have greater depth and warmth. I`ve found sealants tend to be more reflective as well.



So there`s a visual benefit, and some would argue some protective benefit too.

[Accumulator]

Some of us (eh...well, maybe I`m alone here..) just choose between wax and sealant, using one or the other but not both.

Just be sure you’re using a actual sealant. Not everything with the word “seal� on the bottle is.



Meg’s used to call their M07 “Sealer and Reseal Glaze� before they changed the name to “Show Car Glaze�











Mothers still has a glaze with “sealer� in the name.
