More about our Waxes & Sealants
Adding a wax or sealant coating to your vehicle is the final step that not only brings incredible glossy shine to your car’s surface, but it coats on a layer of protection. Thanks to carefully formulated mixes with ingredients like natural carnauba wax and plant oils, you’ll achieve UV protection and hydrophobicity/ water beading. The natural protection of carnauba wax works to repel water, dirt, pollution, brake dust, and stains, so your ride stays cleaner, longer.
Do you prefer a liquid car wax or a paste?
Our waxing products come in different forms, which means different application methods. Which do you prefer?
- If you’re looking for a fast application where you simply spray, buff, and wipe off, go with a spray-on wax like Blazin’ Banana or Lucent Spray Shine.
- If you’re looking for a more traditional paste wax that involves the time-tested wax-on-wax-off method, try our 3X Hardcore Carnauba paste wax.
- If you’d like to use your rotary polisher, pull out the Butter Wet Wax or Slick Finish Cleaner Wax and dab several drops on your polishing pad for a lasting, wet shine.
However you choose to apply it, our sealing waxes will leave your car glowing with scratch-free brilliance for months on end.
