Ceramic Coating vs Ceramic Spray vs Wax—What Do You Actually Need?

from The Auto Detailing Podcast

Should you use a traditional ceramic coating, a ceramic spray coating or a wax? The correct choice depends on how long you want the protection to last, how much preparation you're willing to do and how you plan to maintain your vehicle. In this video, I break down the real differences between The Gloss Boss, Tough As Shell and Wax 'N Relax. I'll also explain which option I would recommend for a leased car, a brand-new vehicle, an older daily driver and a vehicle that has already been ceramic coated. One important point: no liquid ceramic coating, spray coating or wax will prevent rock chips. For actual impact protection, you need paint protection film. These products are designed to protect against environmental contamination, chemicals, UV exposure and oxidation while making your vehicle easier to wash and maintain. THE THREE SIMPLE PROTECTION SYSTEMS: Easiest protection Wash with The Super Soaper and protect with Tough As Shell. Longest-lasting protection Prepare the paint with Picture Perfect Polish and protect it with The Gloss Boss. Fastest maintenance Wash with The Super Soaper and apply Wax 'N Relax while the vehicle is still wet. You can combine these products, but you do not need to apply everything during the same detail. More products and more layers do not automatically create better results.
