Both natural car wax and sealant are known as paint protectors which are applied after the polishing on car’s paintwork is done. In fact both the products can provide your car with shine and both need to be applied on regular basis. Even though these two products are utilized to achieve paint protection but they are basically different in terms of their ingredients which are utilized in making them.

Basically if a product contains natural wax substance like Carnauba wax then it is termed as wax or natural wax where as if a product is made from synthetic ingredients and contains no natural occurring wax then it is termed as sealant. In other words sealants are a synthetic form of paint protection whereas wax is a more natural form of paint protection.

Car wax helps in protecting the paintwork of your car from UV rays, heat, moisture, oxidation, and other types of contaminations and helps in bringing out the natural glow and shine of your car’s paintwork. But the only demerit of using the wax is that it does not last too long. In general weather condition it can last maximum up to 3 months.

But on the other hand a good quality paint sealant can last even up to one year in ideal weather conditions. Other than that, sealant normally provides a better shine to cars. These days’ lots of car enthusiasts prefer going for the combination of both i.e. opting for paint sealant first in order to prolong the paint protection and then topping it up with a layer of wax for the rich and glossy look.

If sealant is much better than natural wax in durability and shine, why are there so many natural wax in the market?

Although sealant has some advantages, it is not able to provide the rich and deep shine people would like to look on the black, red and other dark colored cars. Natural pure carnauba wax are able to accomplish this mission and they are able to cover paint imperfections that are obvious on dark colored cars.

So, which is the best car wax and which one to choose? If you are lazy and you don’t plan to show off your car, sealant will keep your car shine and protect your car for more than 3 months. If you are a car enthusiast and keep your car at top condition, apply a layer of sealant and few layers of carnauba wax.
