Traditional Wax

  • How to Apply: Picture this as a classic wax-on, wax-off moment. It’s a bit of elbow grease, but worth it!
  • Superpower: It gives your car a shiny finish and a decent shield against rain and sun.
  • How Long it Lasts: You'll need to touch it up every few months to keep that glossy look.

Polymer Sealants

  • How to Apply: Think of it as pouring on a smooth, liquid shield – simple and straightforward.
  • Superpower: It lasts longer than wax, protecting your car from the elements for up to six months.
  • How it Looks: Gives your car a deep, glossy finish with minimal effort.

Ceramic Coatings

  • How to Apply: Imagine this as a spa day for your car – you can go for a professional application or try a DIY kit.
  • Superpower: Offers top-notch protection against UV rays, bird droppings, scratches, and more.
  • How Long it Lasts: Super durable, often lasting two years or more.
  • How it Looks: Creates a slick, hydrophobic surface, giving your car a royal shine.

Paint Protection Film (PPF)

  • How to Apply: Like putting on an invisible cloak – it’s a clear film that guards your paint.
  • Superpower: Acts as a physical barrier against rock chips, road debris, and other little nasties that could hurt your car's finish.
  • How Long it Lasts: Built to last for several years with some care.
  • How it Looks: Nearly invisible, preserving your car’s original look.
