Car Waxes & Sealants

The secret to quickly cleaning your car (and keeping it looking sharp!) is layers of protection. Paint is porous, so over time, dirt and other contaminants can settle into the pores, making it harder to clean. Applying wax, sealant, or ceramic coating to your car smooths the surface, making it shinier and easier to clean. Car waxes and sealants act as sacrificial layers that can be reapplied, while ceramic coatings last longer but are harder to remove.

Some of the new car wax / sealant technology is very impressive. Autostolz's new "Enhanced Wax" delivers incredible shine and water beading and is now included in our relaunched Easy Shine kits. A glaze applied before wax or sealant adds instant shine, hiding light swirls and scratches — like makeup for your car. However, for a permanent fix, check out our machine polishing section to learn more about repairing scratches.
