Car Wax and Car Paint Sealant. When to use them

As it is designed to restore your paintwork to its original colour and shine polish is slightly abrasive which also means that it will remove any wax that was previously applied leaving your paintwork unprotected This is where wax and paint sealant comes in It is applied after the polish has done its work in order to protect itI hope you have picked up on the fact that because the two types of product do the same thing then you dont need to use both at the same time Some people think that they need to apply paint sealant before they apply wax This is not the case You can do if you so choose but you dont really gain anything So you have a personal choice to make Paint sealant or waxRight back to the original question Whats the differenceThe ingredients make all the difference If the list of ingredients shoes any reference to a natural wax such as Carnauba then it is a wax If it is made from synthetic ingredients and contains no naturally occurring wax then it is a paint sealantHowever there is another problem There are no laws to stop a car sealant manufacturer calling their product a wax The reason they do this is that that majority of people who will buy their product know they want to wax their car They will therefore look for a wax in the shop The majority of people wont care whether it is synthetic or not as long as it does the job they want it to doSo in the end you have a personal choice to make Look for a wax if you want to only work with a natural wax product If you prefer to work with synthetics then look for a paint sealant Dont go by the product name though You need to look at the ingredients just to be sure
