Car Paint Sealant VS Wax: What's the difference & When to use them!

- In this video, I explain car waxes versus car sealants, and I demonstrate how they are applied, when they are applied, and the visual difference between them! Can you apply a car sealant and wax? Do you apply a car sealant before or after a wax? All these questions and more are answered with this video! In the auto detailing world, the words sealant and wax are used very interchangeably, however they are different, so for beginner detailers this can be very frustrating! I aim to clear up the confusion in car waxes vs car sealants, by explaining and demonstration the difference between a wax and sealant. Check out this video, and never be confused again on the difference between a car sealant and car wax!

Your pronunciation is very easy to hear, so it helps a lot of listeners, thank you for sharing your experience!
Yes, good english👍
Enunciate
My main language is Spanish, even speaking so fast I can understand all that he saying.
Thanx for your pronunciations 😊
Voice is a for sure attention grabber 💯 I watch a lot his videos
Awesome video. Your an expert at that . It's nice listening to someone who knows what he's talking about. Thanks
I like this channel. As a detailing beginner, I find his channel very comprehensive. Just spending 30 minutes here I have a lot of my questions answered.
You do a good job of explaining the obvious to the oblivious. That's a compliment.
To be able to explain a thing in its base components in context that is easy to understand seems to be a hard thing to do. I've been an instructor/teacher of several things in my life and it takes a certain level of understanding and comprehension to be able to convey an idea and/or concept. Good job.
And I like the idea of a sealant and then a hard wax. Looks good there and is what I'm going to do to my new GMC Terrain, right after a clay down.
I just sealed a car for the first time yesterday and today I see this video! Good stuff brother. God is good.
Irving so great to hear from you! So glad you got the opportunity to do that the other day that's exciting!! Love that the video can be of help to you! Keep me updated on your detailing world, I love to hear about it!
Irving Silva did u use the sealant for the sealers that seals the sealer 😂😭

Nicely done. You are well-spoken, Informative, and to the point. Carry on young man.
Thanks for posting this video; it's always informative and entertaining.
Hey Luke, GREAT video!!!Thank you for explaining the differences between sealers and waxes. I have a brand new car and just want to protect it from the harsh Michigan winter. Going to seal my car ASAP. Keep up the good work. 👍👍
Great video thank you for going into a lot of detail. Everyone complains about that but alot of people dont do that anyway so if ur the one guy on youtube that goes deep into detail then you can teach everyone something that others dont, keep it up.
Thanks so much max!! That means a ton!
I love your enthusiasm about car detaling
Good informative videos as usual thanks

Fantastic. Thank you for the right amount of detail.
Excellent video. Very informative. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!! I appreciate that!
great video! very informative and answered all my questions. Thanks!
Great video , I like the way you cover the key components and do it quickly. Agree you can't tell difference, it will show more as you wash your car over a few months.
OMG! I am from Brazil, and I Knew the plant but I didnt know the multi use for it..I am certantly lerned more about this plant from this video than the whole waxing process. Gammy bears use carnauba plant, no wonder why they are so shiny. I am so glady I came across this video. Thanks much for making this video.

Spitting straight facts! Ur the best I deff subbed!
Thanks my man!!!!
Wow. Great video. Amazing explanations. 👍✌
Great comparison dude!
You present very clearly. Well done.
Awesome review! Thanks.
I think doing the hood would have been better for a comparison but I think the paste wax looked better compared to the spray wax. Great video I actually didn’t know the in depth difference between a wax and sealant.
Liked the video, didn’t know about the sealant. Any recommendations on types of polishers for personal, commercial or in the middle?
So i can use the one step sealant in place of a polishing compound for light swirl marks after i clay it
Thanks a lot Wilson! Great Staff!
Much appreciated!
Of course!
Love the Corolla! Mine's Barcelona Red. It has gold flecks but I'm having a hard time bringing out the flecks. What should I do? Have clayed and buffed the car, wondering if I should go more in depth.
sealant for me. I use Wolfgang's deep gloss sealant. Amazing stuff!
Fantastic video! Well done!
you rock, dude! going to try these products pn my new ND Miata!
good explanations, young man!
Great informative video!
Great presentation!

Of course!
Love from India Luke, just love your enthusiasm.
Thanks for clearing that up Luke. I appreciate you/
Of course!
Great video, my friend is the owner of Fw1 fast wax...you don’t see many RUclips detailers using it so that was cool. My go to sealent is the P&S Bead Maker
GOOD video Thanks for posting.
Hi Thanks for the reply. What I am looking for is Great shine and water beading. And protection.
Ya I think you will not be disappointed with the griots sealant! But really any sealant these days is going to do all 3 of those things really well!
Thank you. Very well said
What are your top three recommendations (in order) for sealants?
Hi Luke - I just finished my car with a mixture of Duragloss 105 and their bonding agent 601. The result has blown my mind! I've used many waxes and sealants over the years but have seen nothing that compares to this! Have you ever reviewed this product combination?
love your hustle,,,, keep it up...don't let up...keep these videos coming. topic request :coatings..peace brother!
Awesome!!! Thanks so much!!!
Great informative video.
Learn a lot from you thank you
Thanks for the good info!
Absolutely!
Thank you for awesome infos! I wonder, i have pvc film on my car. What is the best next step for ‘lots of shine’ and protection?
Wax, sealant, glaze…? Thank you again!
Really well done video. I wish you were in my town.
Thank you for all the info. I just bought a new car and where I live it's hot and car paint fades within 6 yrs.
Great video and great info👍🏼
Thanks Joe!
Great content, good car and beautifull place
Very VERY well presented and articulated!!!
Question for you Luke..
Can I put TW Ice Seal & Wax on my truck after cleaning or do I have to clay it 1st?
Thanks & keep up the great informational vids!
You should clay it first
Great video! Good useful information.
Thanks man!
Great video Luke, I use the Griots Boss System finishing sealant which an orange pad ,amazing, finish the paint off with Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish spray wax.
I just applied a carnuba wax/cleaner since it's the best thing I have that pulls off the stuff that my soap can't. Can I apply a sealant over it or would it be useless?
Griots one step sealant is one of the best products I have ever used. Great shine and protection.
Agreed!! So simple and effective its amazing!
What do I need? My car's paint is in pretty good condition but I've noticed that my gun metal silver paint doesn't seem as dark as it was last year. Basically want my paint to get back the slightly darker appearance and shine it had last year when I got the car. Do I need a polymer sealant or should just get the car waxed?
Hey Luke, first off... just wanted to say I love what your channel is doing in the car detailing community, creating an open door to the producers and consumers. I wanted to address one point you claimed in your video. I wanted to clarify as to why most people say to apply waxes in a straight line, versus in a circular fashion. The reason you should apply any wax/sealant in a straight line is because should there be any surface contaminants dragged around the paint, or if the microfiber on the applicator is melted (due to improper washing/drying of the applicator) , scratches are more difficult to spot if they are a straight line, rather than is a circular pattern (swirl). Next, linear scratches are less difficult to take out most of the time, so therefor you level less of the clear coat. Detailing, paint correcting, and so many other variants of car care is without one of the most controversial topics in society, because everyone wants to seem like they know the most about what they are talking about. I'm not trying to sound like that person, but I figured I would chime in and maybe start a discussion... thoughts?
Hey man, thanks for your encouragement and the thoughts! Totally valid on all of that! The point I was making was just that if you are waxing and getting scratches you have a whole new and different problem on your hands! So yes to all of that
Wilson Auto Detailing no problem man! I’m located in southern Cali, if you’re ever in the state hit me up on Instagram @zings_maro, and maybe we can work out a deal where we do some promotion for each other. I love what your doing bro, keep up the good work man! I’m part of the #notificationsquad, so I’ll try to join a live one day! Just hard with different time zones lol thanks for responding!
Very informative video. Thanks for making it very clear. May I just ask if the duration of protecion of both sealant and wax will be reduced or instantly removed when the car gets wet like exposed to the rain?
thank you Kim! I appreciate that! Sealants are going to last through snow, rain, heat, etc.. though of course A LOT of precipitation is going to cause the sealant to break down faster than if there was no precipitation, but thats obvious, waxes will last through the elements to a certain point, but really the main difference is just that in any case, sealants are going to last longer than waxes. But it would be cool to get two cars that have the same sealant, put one where there is no precipitation, and one where there is a lot, and see how long each lasts, just to compare, but as a rule, most sealants last somewhere between 6 months and 1 year
Wilson Auto Detailing thanks a lot man! I’ll take your advice :)
''the driveway warriors'' hahaha great work bro!! keep it up greetings from Grecce
Thank you!
@Wilson auto detailing
Can i use a carnauba wax and finish with a ceramic coating? Im looking for the most shine possible.
i been spray waxing my car every time i wash my car, and recently i got the carnuba gold class meguiars wax and so I clayed and used the wax and I swear the shine is so nice that I'm glad I got to wax my car!
definitely! Carnauba has an awesome deep shine!
Great video!
Without even lighting shining over the paint it is extremely hard to tell what is what. Thank you though.
I just got my Brand new car with the so call Sealant provided by the dealer as they mentioned it would cost about $500 on that brand's official website, if I plan to do the ceramic coating on my own, does it mean that I have to clay-bar & IPA to remove everything before I apply the ceramic coating? If so do you suggest that I do the ceramic a few months later so not to waste the sealant? The sales told me that I can apply the ceramic over the sealant which I doubt it..
This guys gives good vibes
I was getting annoyed with him for a little while because of all his fluff and disclaimers (example: mentioning not having cleaned the tire.) Yes, obvious right? But I realized how many people even with his disclaimers… will come at him and bitch. People and the internet are ridiculous! I’m back to liking his content again. There is no reason to waste so much energy on disclaimers and then people still coming at you about it. It’s so draining, yes even as a subscriber. Sorry for the rant!
Nice vid..ty..question tho..carbanua wax can melt off the car in the sun? If the paint get hot enough?
Great video thank you
Can you do a video on System X Ceramic Protection ( Diamond ) plz plz
Thanks for the video! Can I apply Griot's one step sealant by hand? Similar to how you applied the paste wax?
Yes you could, it is more or less designed to be applied with the polisher they have, but a lot of the protection arena simple comes from the time you let it cure on the paint, so you could apply it with a wax applicator and then let it cure in a shaded area for half an hour to an hour
Will a clay bar be comparable to a polish step? I am planning on doing an iron oxidizer, a clay bar then sealant. Am I missing anything?
Great channel! Just stumbled upon it. Whats a better product for long lasting 'water wicking' so the water just runs off the paint? I have seen a few youtube videos lean towards a paint sealer. Just curious what you would use? Do you have experience with Chemical Guys V07?
+Jasonoid Hey man! If you are looking for SERIOUS WATER REPELLING power I would go with a ceramic coating. If you aren't familiar with what that is I would encourage you to look it up. It would probably change your world!!
Great video. Keep it up!
Luke, my 2020 Vantage has a ceramic coating profe$$ionally applied at a local detail shop in Scottsdale. Should I do anything besides wash it? Please let me know your thoughts.
Can you ceramic coat over the sealant or should you take off the sealant first before ceramic coating?
Can I use the glaze after i have used paint sealant on my car like a final step? ... Thank you for your video man
Definitely!
Hi, I bought a new car last week and I’m wondering if what would be a simple way for me to wash and protect my car paint. I have no idea about the proper way of washing a car and waxing it.. it is okay if i wash my car, dry it, and apply the sealant/wax right away? or its better if i clay bar it first after i wash it and then seal or wax it. I kind of a DIY person, i hope you can help me.. 😊
So wash, clay, polish ( if needed ), sealant, Than Wax??? Or do I skip was if I sealant?
If I clay with quick detailer ( spray wax ) do I have to remove it somehow before sealant?
i wouldn't use wax when you clay bar lol
Liked & Subscribed. Classy EARNING both before offering them. Great job.
GREAT JOB 👍
My question would be if I can’t wash my car because I have no access to water due to my living in a condo... what would the process be? I just use waterless wash and wax. Can I still use the products you used or what other suggestion would you give me? Thank you
This video is a simple and easy to understand. Thank you from Korea. BTW, it was funny at 16:56. It's not open. lol
hahaha thanks so much man!! Glad you liked it!
Wilson do you need to polish the vechile before adding sealnt and how long does it last
I agree with u about the application method...however Scott from Dallas paint correction makes a good point that most retail waxes are cleaner waxes. These cleaner waxes have abrasives that need to be activated by going in a circular motion. Now a regular non-cleaner wax can be applied either in straight lines or circular...doesn't matter
Alex Bryan very interesting, I'll have to look into that
Willson is the lost son of scott
So how would bead maker work? It's a sealant, right? I've heard so many conflicting things. I usually finish a wash with a spray wax. Would this replace my spray wax or can I put this on top of the spray wax still?
Today, 2020, is the sealant like Seal N Shine last longer and more durable than Paste wax?
I like using glaze, but glazes are very temporary and the glossy effect from glaze will fade after few days.. so i was wondering if a sealant could be applied over a glaze.. what to do after the glaze effect is gone or the car is dirty again.. can we just re apply the glaze and the sealant again over and over? Or should we remove everything and re apply everything from scratch?
Can I apply 3M synthetic wax protectant over carnauba wax?
I just did it, what result will this topoff have?
