Product Information

Buffing can help with paint correction and remove swirl marks, but adding wax for sheen and shine is a job already done by the ceramic coating. All natural wax will need reapplying every six weeks or so and will protect your paintwork from UV rays, water and other contaminants. This ceramic coating’s application process is simple, requiring only two sprays, a wipedown with a microfiber towel, and a 24-hour cure time. Our Experience Moreover, Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions is easy to apply and provides tons of water-beading properties to help protect your vehicle and keep it looking great between washes. Turtle Wax Hybrid works on all the hard surface your vehicle has so you don’t need to worry about fenders, bumpers, or even windows – it works on it all! One area where ceramic coatings thrive is in providing UV protection for your vehicle. UV rays cause the paint on your vehicle to fade, but with ceramic coatings, those harmful UV rays don’t make it to the paint. This prevents fading and keeps the paint looking like new year after year. Easy to Maintain

Most detailers will recommend using a clay bar first if you're wanting to apply wax to your car. This will keep your paintwork free of any contaminants so you get a better overall finish. If you want to know more about this process, we've written a guide to clay barring. In the end, it’s easiest to think about wax and ceramic coatings as two different roads that lead to the same destination. They are different materials that perform the same task: protect your vehicle's exterior surfaces. Both provide a sacrificial layer that is intended to shield your car’s surface from sun exposure, moisture and environmental pollution. Wax is the old, winding 2-lane road that leads into town and ceramic is the new, 6-lane wide expressway that gets you there in half the time.

Carnauba wax is an organic wax that is often regarded as the only ‘proper’ car wax available. Extracted from the leaves of the carnauba palm tree it’s the hardest natural wax in existence and is incredibly effective against water. Cost depends largely on whether you have someone do the work for you or if you’re willing to learn what you can on your own. Factor in the amount of prep work including paint repairs needed to get your car ready for a ceramic coat. Cleaning enthusiasts who attend Concours d'Elegance events get terribly in-depth on the subject. That's fine, but their recommendations are frequently too expensive for regular Joes. But don’t worry, we know of effective car wax that doesn't cost you an arm and a leg. Make sure your car is as clean as possible and towel dry. Inspect the paint to see if polishing will be needed before you apply your wax. There isn't much point waxing a scruffy, stone chipped mess of a car. If your paint is looking good then all you need to do is make sure your car isn't in direct sunlight before you set to work waxing it.

Difficult to Apply: Ceramic coating is best applied by a professional, but adept car owners can do a bang-up job without one, once they beat the learning curve. A ceramic coating is like wax because it is an effective protectant. A good ceramic coating can offer better durability than wax with no real trade-off in return. However, it still won’t protect against stone chips, significant scratches, or eliminate the need for washing your car. In the 21st century, the detailing world enjoyed its first major breakthrough with the invention of ceramic coatings. Applying a ceramic coating brings incredible shine and a durable shield of protection that chemically bonds with the finish of your car. This protective layer resists all kinds of soils, repels water, prevents water spotting and shields your car from UV rays, so the finish stays cleaner and looks better for longer than it would even with a wax.

This can vary based on the type of coating you’re using. We suggest reading the application instructions thoroughly before applying any brand of ceramic protectant. If you’re using Jay's SiO2-based ceramic coating, Radiant, application is similar to using a detailing spray. However, we believe CarPro CQuartz offers the best appearance and protection, though it’s more expensive and much more tedious to apply. Is ceramic coating good for your car? While many people will overhype the protection that ceramic coatings provide, there’s no denying that they do provide some additional protection. It’s a harder coating that can help prevent very minor scratches and chips.
