If you are paying $45 a gallon that is still too much. You should be able to purchase a gallon of the best sealant for no more than $22 or 23 a gallon.
for polymer stuff maybe. not for what we use which is not polymer, silicone or teflon
As indicated I agree that sealants are a better product in terms of ease of application and removal and they do last longer than waxes.
However, to say that if a car had been treated with sealant vs wax it would not have to buffed is stretching it.
You have to buff a car because it gets scratched, water spotted, etched by insect residue, eggs or acid rain.
the sealants I use prevent water spotting and acid rain
Since clear coats do not oxidize becausethe pigment is not exposed to the sun's uv rays you would not be buffing to remove oxidation.
Clear coats do oxidise. its paint without pigment with some UV protection. its not as noticeable as single stage but oxidation does happen
fortunately it can be fixed without cutting the paint back
Paint sealants will not protect against scratching or water spotting but might protect a bit longer against insect residue, eggs, acid rain.
they do protect against spotting, acid rain and insect residue. Eggs though I highly doubt it
Still they are not a wonder product in any way, shape or form.
big difference between amino functional resins and the glass/titanium stuff I made up.
My major reason for only selling paint sealant and not wax is that we price not much higher for a sealant than a wax and, as I stated, it is easier to apply and remove and it does offer more durability.
Other than that there is not much reason to use one over the other.
our sealants thicken the paint up and bury orange peel. wax cannot do this
That is how the detail business is, everyone has an opinion some opinions are based on fact and some on simply what a detailer thinks, but he thinks he is correct so I guess that is all that matters.
Thus why its in such a mess. Too many hackers, no regulation. old school thinkers and methods.
