More expensive spray waxes like carnauba wax last longer. This ceramic wax dries clear. A combination of both the film and coating on a surface gives the best of both worlds ie. Still both mosesso and west say that even a basic silicone based wax will enhance the vehicle s existing shine and help prevent.

This wax polishes deeply while you wax for incredible deep shine and gloss. Applying a paint sealant. This spray is also a 3 in 1 formula acting as a ceramic coating wax sealant and protection spray and waterless wash. The same is true with our car s clear coat.

Whether it s worth it or not depends on the person and how important the paint appearance is to them. They are not compatible a coat of wax will protect a clear coat but if you want to apply a new clear coat again the wax you put on the car will repel the new clear coat finish and it will peel unless the wax is chemically removed. The safe clear coat formula creates gloss that contains no swirls. Some paint protection films are equipped with a hydrophobic clear coat but they often do not perform at the same level as a full ceramic coating.

Ceramic protectants coatings provide a much higher durability than wax. Waxing provides you with an additional layer on top of the clear coat. Just don t do both. Unfortunately over time this protective layer gets chipped.

For customers on a budget it is recommended to get the film on the high traffic areas while continuously reapplying a sealant on the remaining surfaces or to simply just get the coating on the entire vehicle only. Manufacturers designed the clear coat to be tough on dirt debris uv light and whatever else mother nature decides to throw at it. If small spots tree pitch marks and stains. Inside the wax are synthetic polymers that provide long lasting durable protection.

They coat the finish for maximum protection from scratches imperfections and the rays from the sun. Rock chip protection with enhanced environmental protection and ease of washing. They resist heat uv rays environmental contaminants harsh detergents much better than wax. The shine and gloss that is produced by this wax is amazing.
