The Paint Protection Methods
Cars are a significant investment, both in terms of money and time. We all want out vehicles to look their best and remain in pristine condition for as long as possible. However, everyday use and exposure to the elements can take a toll on a car’s exterior. This is where paint protection comes in. So, whether you’re a car enthusiast or just someone who wants to keep their car looking new, keep reading to find out which car paint protection is right for you and how to properly apply them.
WAX
Car wax is the most traditional form of car paint protection. It is a natural or synthetic product made from carnauba wax, beeswax, or a combination of both. It is formulated with oils and solvents that provide a layer of protection between the car’s paint and the environment. Wax protects from UV rays and water spots while enhancing shine.
However, wax is not as durable as other protection methods, and will need to be applied every few months.
Wax Types
MaxShine offers car wax in different forms, such as paste, liquid, or spray.
How To Apply
SEALANT
Sealant is a more advanced form of paint protection than wax.
It is a synthetic product made of polymers that form a hard, protective barrier over the paint.
It is formulated with synthetic materials that are designed to provide long-lasting protection against environmental contaminants, UV rays, acid rain, and water spots. Sealants are more durable than waxes and can last closer to 6 months depending on environmental conditions.
Sealant Types
Car sealant is easy to apply and is available in a liquid or spray form.
How To Apply
Sealants are applied the same as a wax, either by hand or machine. Many Polishes, like MaxShine’s AIO Polish, also contain sealants reducing the number of steps needed in fixing up paint.
Both spray waxes and spray sealants are applied in a spray and wipe method.
Ceramic Coating
Ceramic Coating is a type of paint protection that creates a hydrophobic barrier on the paint that repels water and other contaminants, while providing UV protection and enhancing shine.
Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds with your car’s paint, creating a long-lasting and durable layer of protection that is more resistant to scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation than other car paint protection methods.
It can last for years depending on environmental factors.
Ceramic coating often requires professional application, but MaxShine’s Graphene Ceramic Coating can be mastered by anyone.
