While both products perform a seemingly similar function i.e. to protect the car’s paint, they have a number of differences including differences in their main ingredients. Car wax is more of a ‘natural’ product with a predominant ingredient in it being carnauba wax- a substance secreted by Brazilian palm trees. On the other hand, sealants are completely chemical-based products, made from petroleum derivatives, polymers, and resin. This may make one feel that since wax is a ‘natural’ product, often advertised along those lines too, that it is a better product. The truth is, wax is not 100% natural, just like no other car care product is completely natural.

I have found out spray sealants to be more user-friendly which attract very less dust as compared to the oils present in traditional paste waxes. Surprisingly the price of a high definition wax is the same of a spray sealant.

Is Spray Sealant is a good replacement for Traditional Car Wax?

Spray sealant is a completely synthetic product and is a rather more advanced product than wax. It tends to offer more durability, water resistance, and general better protection. While it may seem like it is a less beneficial product owing to it being synthetic, it is actually a perfect blend and mix of chemicals that your car needs for maximum protection for its paint and exterior in general. These chemicals are developed keeping in mind the needs of your car and can offer amplified gloss as well.

• Colour deepening effects
• Instant water beading and self cleaning abilities
• Velvety feeling on the paint surface

General Comparison Between Wax and Spray Sealant

Sealants are more durable than waxes. While a wax, depending on its quality, may last from 1-3 months, a spray sealant can last anywhere from 3 months to a full year. That is a lot of added protection and generally, the long life of the product applied. However, the difference here is application. Waxes are difficult to manage in terms of application. Sealants, on the other hand, are quick and easy to apply. If applied in a form of layers, their longevity may be increased, thus making the reflections more deeper.

Conclution

Overall, it is better to invest in a spray sealant than to go for a wax; a sealant will provide your car with better heat resistance, better protection against UV Rays, and will even give better protection against detergent damage that occurs in regular washes. The sealant will also be more long-lasting than a car wax, making it more convenient and generally more cost-effective as well. Therefore, a spray sealant is definitely recommended over wax.

Check Air Filters

It is important to keep checking the air intake filter of your car as it can indicate whether or not the car’s engine is doing well or not. A choked air intake filter suggests that the vehicle is not getting an adequate supply of air- something that should cause alarm for any vehicle owner. To minimize the impacts of air pollution on the car’s engine, make sure that you regularly clean and replace the car’s air intake filter. This will prolong the life of your car’s engine and will also ensure that it remains in healthy working condition.

Proper Car Wash

Car washes need to be done properly and great emphasis must be put on ensuring that the dirt and grime on the car do not damage the car’s exterior. The dirt should be washed off thoroughly with water before any scrubbing is done on the surface as even the tiniest of dust particles can leave scratch marks on the car’s surface, leaving unpleasant marks over time. If the dirt is washed off properly, you will not have to worry about it scratching the surface of the car.

Don’t let dust and grime accumulate on the car as that will continue damaging the car’s exterior. Instead, ensure that your car is being washed frequently so that any damage from external elements is minimized. Regular washing will also keep your car safe for use and will prevent any harmful impacts a dirty car may have on your health.

Ceramic Coating

Proper polishing and ceramic coating help. The car should get a proper polish sealed by a high-quality ceramic coating. Ceramic coating can make the surface of the car repel dirt and grime and can allow protection to the car’s surface. In highly polluted areas, tiny particles of dust in the air can cling to the surface of your car, leaving your car dull and damaged. It is therefore recommended to invest in a high-quality ceramic coat that offers your car a protective layer against dust and harsh environmental elements.

After all preventative measures have been taken, we must also keep in mind that excessive use of vehicles adds to pollution and also exposes our vehicles to harsh environmental elements. It is therefore advisable to try reducing our usage of vehicles, especially when pollution and smog reach a high level, so that our vehicles may benefit along with our environment.

There are two variants of the car; a 2000cc naturally aspirated engine that produces 152 horsepower and 192 Nm of torque, and a 2500cc naturally aspirated engine that produces 180 horsepower and 232 Nm of torque with a price difference of around 0.7 million rupees between the two. The engine and price tag aren’t the only two differences, though. The top of the line variant comes equipped with a retractable rear shade to protect the car from sunlight, six airbags to provide protection in case of an accident, and a Head-up Display that displays a transparent image on the windshield to show driver safety information. However, apart from these differences, both the cars are identical including the booking price for both the cars, which is Rs 200,000.

We were expecting better paint quality, but as per our observation and inspection, we noticed the paint has a large pattern of orange peel that easily catches attention. Orange peel adds up to the beauty of the paint but too much of it looks raw.
