golfgti10:
are wax and sealant different things or the same

should I be waxing and then sealing or is the wax a sealant for the polish

Adam-golf:
I think that it works that you choose one to the other. Wax being easier to apply then a sealant.

Sealant are chemical made where as waxes are natural.

Chris92:
After polishing some people use a sealant then use a wax on top but there is no need to, it's either you use a wax or a sealant. People tend to use a sealant on light kind of colours such as white and wax on darker colours like red. Wax's give a more deep warmth look and sealants give a more glass like gloss look to the car

no they don't  :fighting2: :fighting2:  :signLOL:

you can use a sealant first and then a wax if you want. but most people pick one or the other. i use one or the other when doing cars.

the ease of application very much depends on what product it is, you can't reaaaallly say that "waxes" are easier to apply than "sealants". this day and age so many so called waxes are actually not "waxes" by definition at all so it can be very confusing. just try whatever product it is that you happen to use and go from there really that's the best advice i can give you.

i find some products easy to use while others find them hard.
likewise there are some products others find very easy to use and i just can't get on with them at all.
so it very much depends on yourself and your own particular environment

I tend to use both purely for protection. My pre-winter clean has x2 layers of sealant and x4 layers of collinite.... Still going strong after about 5months!  :driver:
