Question 6

What is the difference between polish, wax, sealant, and ceramic coating?

Accepted Answer

Polish – Corrects defects
Removes oxidation, swirl marks, light scratches, and dullness to restore clarity and gloss. Polish does not provide long-term protection by itself.
Wax – Short-term protection
Adds shine and light protection. Typically lasts 2–3 months.
Paint/Gelcoat Sealant – Mid-term protection
Synthetic protection that lasts 6–9 months with better durability than wax.
Ceramic Coating – Long-term protection
Forms a hardened protective layer that lasts 1–3+ years with superior UV resistance, chemical resistance, and gloss.

Yes. We offer multi-step compounding and polishing for moderate to heavy oxidation and severe dullness.
