It's all in the prep!
The "sealant look". Like I said, not all sealants look that way, but I think that is the look people are referring to when they say that.
"Sealant look" vs "Carnauba look" - please explain

Just to clarify a point that Poorboy made, the melting point of carnauba is not the same thing as the melting point of a formulated carnauba wax product. The addition of the other products helps to increase the melting point, or you would see wax running off of all our cars down here in the summertime.
Not to be argumentative BB, but I completely disagree with this statement since that has not been my own experience, and I do use both on my daily driver:
"Sealants are easier to apply and remove and far more durable. For a DD the sealant Is a better choice."

If you disagree then use Carnuba It is your choice we have guys in our local car club that still use straight weight oil they refuse to switch to multi grade.
Some just don't want to change

The wax vs. oil argument is flawed. There is no subjective measure to the differences between straight weight and multi0viscosity oils. There is a performance and protection difference. That is the only thing that matters with an engine oil. You can even use scientific method and via used oil analysis to see what type, brand and grade of oil works best in an engine. There is no subjective concern for how an oil "looks" in an engine.
Waxes and sealants are different. There is a visual difference that is visible to many people. Some people prefer how one looks over the other. You've seen carnauba waxes melt in the hot sun. Others have used carnauba waxes in direct sun without a problem. Does that make all carnauba waxes bad or all sealant superior? No, it just makes them superior for you. Just because someone like a carnauba wax doesn't mean they are stuck in the past or stubborn. They just prefer the looks of that product.
