Collection: Waxes, Sealants & Coatings

This is the last step of a detail and the one you actually look at. Wax, sealant and ceramic coating all sit on top of the paint, add gloss and make water bead and run off instead of sheeting and drying in place. They differ mostly in how they go on and how long they last.

The largest chemical group in the Wash Bay, with carnauba paste wax, spray wax, drying aids and quick detailers, SiO2 ceramic detailers and ceramic wax, exterior trim dressings, sealants and full coatings from 3D and P&S, in pint, quart, gallon and five gallon sizes. Work up to it: car wash soap and foam first, compounds and polishes if the paint needs correcting, and glass and headlights so the windows match the paint.
